I wouldn't put this on my own "over and over" list, but it's definitely on my "find a copy and buy" list. I was one of a thousand or so World SF conventioners who got to see the rough cut of this years ago, complete with commentary by Harlan Ellison himself. Excellent adaptation of the novella, and Don Johnson (in his first major role) is a hoot. Blood is pretty good, too.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Pride and Prejudice (Colin Firth's version
I knew someone was going to post a movie I wish I'd thought of. I love this movie and can watch it over and over from whatever point I stumble across it. I also have it on DVD. I was flipping through the channels one rainy afternoon several weeks ago and found the John Barrymore P&P. It was a hoot to watch and compare it.

This was the second of a double feature at the drive in years ago. The first movie was Slumber Party Massacre. I don't think we made it through A Boy and His Dog, but by that time we'd put away a lot of Blatz and several Little King's Creme Ale (generously given to us by the guys in the car next to us. First and last time I ever drank that crap. Ha!).

Beebs----your cat looks exactly and I mean exactly like my daughter's cat Eva. She also has a cat or should I say beast named Orion.
And I have to put up with both of them for the next couple of day, yuck. And before you send PETA after me, just know that I mean no harm what so ever to those cats. I just have a workable obsessive compulsion (workable for me anyway) with cats and dogs. I freak out (or get really really creeped out) if I touch them or find a cat or dog hair on me or my clothes. Oh, boy it is gonna be a long several days.
