Ahhhh Patrick Dempsy... When I think Can't Buy Me Love, I think about that tacky white leather outfit and the wine!

Then it makes me think of McDreamy in Loverboy and ordering pizzas with anchovies. mmmm mmm mmmmmm

Patrick Dempsy totally grew into his looks!

My Fair Lady is on TCM. I got sucked into it and can't seem to pull away - except that the lip syncing is sooooo off, it is quite disgusting and it might force me away. (Besides, I scared the cats with my rendition of "Rain in Spain".)

I was thinking of Loverboy when I was writing that last post. Another great early Dempsy movie.

Can't Buy Me Love: I love Cindy Mancini's Espirit sweaters and Cabriolet. Great line when he is looking through the telescope in the mall, "Ah yes, I see the erection".

We were just discussing Miss Audrey last night. My favorite is Roman Holiday .

I LOVE Roman Holiday, but i also have a fondness for Charade and Sabrina. B@Ts is hard to warch (because of Cat). Audrey looks very much like my evil sister. I try to get over it, though.

Apparently at some point way in the past I put the critical hits of 1990-1991 on my Netflix queue.

I have to say that the critics were pretty lame during that period.

One False Move. Bleh.

The Man in the Moon
. Get to see Reese Witherspoon naked and she's 14. Sappy girl movie (and I mean girl, not chick flick; if you're not a 14 year old girl in love for the first time I don't know why you'd want to watch this)

Thelma & Louise. First time seeing it and mostly enjoyed it but the bonding scene and melodramatic Harvey Keitel slo-mo at the end almost ruined it. I like how the DVD has an "alternate ending" that is essentially watching the car fall farther before ending the movie.

Dances with Wolves. The version that came in the mail was the Director's Cut. 236 minutes. 3 hours, 56 minutes. That thing sat in my official Netflix DVD holder for most of the last month waiting for me to find the energy to slog through that. Never did find it so I just sent it back unwatched.

The Director's Cut of Dances With Wolves is beyond lame.


I don't think the theatrical version, which I happen to think is great, is available on DVD at all.





ETA: I've never seen Roman Holiday all the way thru.

I thought Dances with Wolves was a great movie when I saw it in the theater. It was long enough, I can't imagine the extended director's cut.

iSm you need to see all of Roman Holiday. Adorable.

I don't think I've seen Charade. Just caught the last half hour of Sabrina a few weeks ago on cable. Love that one too. I feel B@T is really fun in parts, but just OK in others. I do love the swanky music - downloaded the Barney Kessel jazz from iTunes.

It's Mother's Day, I've been to see Mom yesterday and now I'm gonna watch Mildred Pierce. :)

innerSpaceman 05-13-2007 01:18 PM

And they said she was Box Office Poison. :cool:

innerSpaceman 05-15-2007 09:34 PM

Finally saw Last King of Scotland. A good movie, but I seriously don't know what all the fuss about Forrest Whitaker's performance was all about. Completely run of the mill, imo.
