I have different favorite Heath films whether I'm in the mood for lighthearted or serious etc...I think you might really like CANDY, Dev.  It's a difficult subject for sure, but Heath is amazingly talented in it.  Of his 'serious' films, CANDY is second in my book.   MONSTER'S BALL comes in third only because he has such limited screen time - the time he's on film, though, is of course, phenomenal.

Two Hands is "Very Long Wait" on Blockbuster now.  They probably only have one copy!  Who could have imagined it would be popular.

Here's what Heath movies look like right now on Blockbuster (minus BBM, which I already own, so don't have n my queue)

Here's an idea, if we want to switch movies...

A Knight's Tale will be shown on TBS this Sunday, at 1 pm and 11:45 pm. People could record it to watch next weekend.

Just a thought...

Okay, well it looks like 'Two Hands' is not very available at the moment, so we are offering up a more available (i.e. you can get it at Blockbuster) alternative:

A Knight's Tale, or Ten Things I Hate About You

I think Knight's Tale might be easier to source.

Shall we see how it goes?  I will check my Blockbuster for both and we can decide based upon majority rule.

Two Hands seems to be IS available in its entirety on YouTube in ten minute sections.  I didn't watch them to see if it's complete, but it looks like it is.  I just watched it. 

Here's the link to the first one, you can use it to find the subsequent ones.  It was very watchable in this format, it's a good quality video, eight 10 minute sections, and then a ninth section that lasts 3 minutes.  I'm glad I saw it.

Should we stick with Two Hands after all?
