Last week I was trying to pick a movie on Instant for me and my boyfriend to watch. I wanted Little Shop of Horrors, but they had the original. I thought the Rick Moranis was the original. I tried Circle of Friends…DVD only. Then I saw Howard the Duck and decided that was it! I went downstairs and came back up and was ready to hit play. He asked me if I was serious. I was singing the song in my head…I was serious. I could see the look on his face so we didn’t watch it. The next option was Muriel’s Wedding or Dirty Dancing. He picked Dirty Dancing. I’ve seen that movie so many times, but watching it with someone who has never seen it is a little cringe worthy. The movies of my childhood that I love are not oscar films. She’s Like the Wind is not winning song of the year. Howie Mandel is not going to be nominated for best actor for Little Monsters. I love them anyway.
Me: [Redacted's] office always smells like hot chicken
A: hahahah. qoute of the day winner!
My new favorite song
White Winter Hymnal-Fleet Foxes
See Andrew, even the internet doesn’t even know what Toro Y Moi are singing about.
He never was to come
He never would apologize
(Incomprehensible)
Isn’t understood
Keep standing wasted
I’m getting behind
I think I’ll die
Before I’m Done
Done
I finally decided that I wanted to watch this. Andrew rented it and I said “don’t watch it without me.” All I knew is that Harrison Ford was in it, but I wasn’t sure. I’m not the best at reviewing things…I’m either “I liked it,” “I loved it” or “I hated it.” And I guess there is an “It was ok” category as well.
I couldn’t stop laughing about Edward James Olmos playing an Asian man. At one point I looked at Andrew and I said, “You know who that is? Edward James Olmos. The dad from Selena.” Laughter. An hour laughter his dad comes into the room and starts watching. I said, “You know who that is?” “Is that Olmos?,” he said. “Yes!”
The other thing I was hung up on was the year 2019. I guess when you’re making a movie in 82 the future is 2019, but it’s only seven years from now. I thought we would have hover boards by now too. Los Angeles was bleak and rainy and had the typical future (we basically live in prison cells) look.
The shining light in this movie was Rutger Hauer who was all kinds of bananas. I just kept picturing him as Lothos in the Buffy movie because that’s when Rutger started acting in my mind. Oh and Joanna Cassidy aka (I’m right on top of that) Rose from Don’t Tell Your Mom the Babysitters Dead.
I’m glad I saw it and I read some interesting back story about Harrison Ford hating life while filming this
