    Well I guess its about time for part 9 of the Lights, Camera, Action LIF. I thought for a long time about a theme and since I made everyone wait for me to get back from a trip, I think the theme will just be "Movies RochesterAaron has watched recently".

    Last week the guy I share a space with at work and I watched 5 movies at work (shhh), answers #1-5 are those 5 movies. #6-8 have hints listed below. If you need to check whether a film is available on Netflix Instant this site is a good resource.

    1. Watched on Netflix Instant (foreign, 201X)
    2. Watched on Netflix Instant (foreign, 200X)
    3. Watched on Netflix Instant (Canadian-American, 201X)
    4. The last blu-ray that I purchased (foreign, 200X)
    5. A pretty dumb comedy that used show regularly on the Comedy channel, dvd (American, 199X)
    6. The last movie I saw in theaters (American, 2012)
    7. Not actually a movie, but my favorite TV series ever. I've watched it 5 times in its entirety and just lent the 2nd season to the above mentioned coworker. (200X)
    8. The last movie I watched on tv (in a hotel room last week) - has a connection to a previous incarnation of this LIF. (200X)
    This LIF is open to anyone in the lower 48 (sorry everyone else). One guess per person per hint. I would like the winner to continue this LIF series (because I love it). Since I just got back from Vermont yesterday that winner will be receiving a bottle of Hill Farmstead Everett, a couple cans of Heady Topperand some other goodies based on where they are located.

    Cheers!

    PS - while I watch you answer I am drinking my first bottle of KBS courtesy of dejrrma from the last round. Thanks again Dina!

    It's LiFs like this that make me wish I actually like movies. :-(

    Most of these aren't highbrow movies. I tried to make it fairly accessible. Take a stab at it, especially once there are hints involved I don't think it'll be that bad. A couple of these are probably laughably easy. Google is my friend when it comes to sports questions in LIFs. I don't know anything about baseball or basketball, but it doesn't stop me from guessing.

    I don't mean to derail your thread OP, but Everett is one of the best beers I've ever had. If I go up to HF soon, which I'm hoping to, I'll gladly send you a bottle or two. That is ofc if it's available when I go.

    Feel free to discuss HF. I hadn't had anything from Sean before 2 days ago. I was doubting the hype. There is no doubt now. Hanging out in what is essentially a garage, tasting beers with a steady but small group of beer lovers, while you look out over the fields and Sean brews 5 ft away is a surreal experience.

    My friend who got me into craft beer just went out there for the first time last weekend and I asked him how it was claiming there was no way it was as good as the hype. He told me I was right, it was better than whatever hype I'd heard about it

    After rereading these clues are a bit too vague. Here are some more hints, second guess open.
    1. British film
    2. British film
    3. Comedy
    4. From an asian country, came packaged with its sequel (which sucks horribly). I used to have a bootleg version of this movie, but it finally got an official US release so I preordered it about 6 months ago.
    5. I doubt this will be helpful, but there is a very small connection between a clothing item worn in this movie and a business located in the suburb of Rochester that I live in (Irondequoit).
    6. My wife picked this movie (she has terrible taste in movies, but at least it wasn't a romantic comedy). We saw it in late March or early April
    7. Nobody has it yet. It was not on standard network television.
    8. Someone was incredibly close. It played a major role in either Take 6, Take 7, or Take 8 of this LIF
    Guess more, I want to give someone from this standup group of BAs some delicious beer.

    its ok to admit to watching Mean Girls in a hotel room, you are among friends... just have to say Tina Fey is hilarious and loved her on SNL and its ok not because of Lindsay Lohan.
