Hudson Hawk is one of those movies that falls into the "so bad it's good" genre. If you do watch it, don't take it too seriously. Also, watch it with a group of friends and a couple six-packs so you can all MST3K it.

Alright, that's what I'll do - that way, even if it sucks utter balls, we can have a good time of it.
Hudson Hawk was good when I was 11. I re-watched it recently and it didn't hold up through the years, but as long as you don't have any expectations, it'll be a fun watch.
My weird things about me:
My favorite movie/movie series has a significant influence on who I am, see if you can name it from the following:
enjoy most things of the 30's and 40's.
travel whenever possible.
wish I could just go to school.
have a bit of a fascination with ancient civilizations.
wear fedoras all the time.
swing dancing.
can't stand snakes.
(spoiler: the last one probably gives it away even though there's another cause behind it)
Other weird things about me: I never have to try on pants, I can just tell by holding them up just how well they will fit. I had surgery on both knees before I was 25 for the exact same problem. My parents put me in karate lessons when I was a kid because I won a fight at school that I didn't start. My sends of smell is so weak I only notice the strongest odors, yet my sense of taste is incredibly strong. I'm an extremely picky eater, and that is based almost entirely on the texture of the food. I don't eat eggs.
- Most of the time, I find nearly dying or things that happen to me that are seriously bad news to be funny, or an adventure, just a part of life, but more minor setbacks will upset me, or if they're consistent or for a long time (such as job hunting) it will send me into a serious depression. Got stabbed in a fight? Yeah man, that was cool, wanna see the scar? Got fired from a crappy job? Weeks of depression and self-inflicted isolation.
I'm the same way. I can laugh my way through severe physical pain and dying relatives, but I'm most depressed when I've been stuck at home too long or I've had a sore throat for more than a few days. Life doesn't feel too bad as long as it stays interesting or exciting, for some reason.
I make a lot of "dad jokes", meaning jokes that are so punny, corny, and slightly embarrassing for the people who are with me at the time that you can't help but give it at least a pity laugh.
I despise watching movies on a computer screen. There are a few factors that go into this. One thing is just that there is something about me being so close to the screen as apposed to watching something from at least 4 ft. away that is so unappealing, it's painful. Perhaps the main issue for me is the quality of the video. Video quality is of the utmost importance to me and it's infuriating when it's not crisp and clear (e.g. online streaming videos on sites like Youtube and Tudou) because I want to be able to see everything clearly and not miss an important detail due to crap video quality. Despite the fact I hate this, there really is no other way I can watch movies due to lack of bread. However, I'm saving up for a Roku box and a Netflix account. Everything will be like heaven once both the aforementioned things are in my possession.s
Sometimes it's simply not in high def, or high def versions don't have enough seeders taking a week to download.
Or just because you don't really want to wait till 4 gigs download for a movie and decide that anything higher than 480p is lost if you don't have a big shiny LCD or Plasma TV.
Then you could organize, keep a que of things ready, download the 720p h.264 files (5cm/Sec comes in at 1.4 GB.).
Video quality strikes me as a strange argument to make. My cheap monitors have packed more pixels than a basic HDTV for some time. The main difference for me would be being able to watch things while sitting on a sofa but I'm not really in a position to do so.

With TVs, it's not about the amount of pixels but their other qualities like contrast. Unless you got something like the Dell Ultrasharp, TVs are usually better than monitors except in terms of DPI. Also, some stuff simply doesn't have torrents of the high quality version.
How? If you have the same resolution in a larger space, your DPI goes down.
Well, he said except in terms of DPI, so he knows that monitors have better DPI because they have more resolution in a smaller size.
The thing is, TV are pretty much worse than monitors in every way except in terms of the screen size to cost ratio, and the fact that they have TV tuners and audio decoders built in. Some monitors have TV tuners, but they usually aren't any good. Ultrasharp can take TV because it has HDMI/component/display port input, but you need a cable box to change channels and such.
Alright, I need something to eat. See you in a while fellas.
There's also thought to be given to the idea of using a very large monitor (24 inch or so) instead of a TV. Even my 48cm 5:4 serves fine for watching films on, it's mostly just the sofa that I miss having.

I use a monitor as my TV. The only issue is that the cheap widescreen LCD panels that are prolific in that part of the market have extremely poor viewing angles. I have one on my desktop at work and a older 5:4 monitor next to it. You know the yellow color that marks unread threads on the forum? I can't see that on my widescreen monitor unless I sit at just the right angle, and even then I may only see it on the top half of the screen. However, it shows up fine from many angles on my older 5:4 monitor next to it.
In TV shows and movies, its harder for me to watch awkwardness than it is violence. Sometimes if its too awkward I have to pause it or look away. Unless its something like a Saw torture-porn sort of thing, violence doesn't bother me but awkwardness just gives me the creeps sometimes.
I make a lot of "dad jokes", meaning jokes that are so punny, corny, and slightly embarrassing for the people who are with me at the time that you can't help but give it at least a pity laugh.
I think dads go to a class when they have kids on how to come up with the worst puns. I remember when we suggested the family go for dim sum, my dad was like "4+2=11, 6+1=9, 1+1=3..." Groan. I find myself saying puns, and then I am like ahah, dad joke slipped in there.
