I haven't thought about those movies in forever! I admit I enjoyed watching them. How could you not love Sally Field going from a flying nun, then Sybil, to this wacky sexy lady! A true blast from the past

Snowflake, maybe if you get a chance you can see this for me this weekend:

"Walt & El Grupo"

It's playing at the San Francisco International Film Festival, April 24-May 8

The movie Dazed & Confused is 15 years old. Tonight, I watched it for the first time. Cool movie. Great cast.

It was a double feature with Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke. Dumb movie. A couple of laughs here and there, though.

Up in smoke is best watched in altered states.

Both of those are.


Speaking of which, some friends want me to go out with them tonite to see Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantonamo Bay ... but I hear it's a kinda lame sequel.

When I was in high school, I took my girlfriend in the station wagon to a drive-in double feature of Airplane and Up In Smoke. I folded down the rear seat, and we settled in to "watch the movie." But with Airplane I was "Wait a minute, stop, this is funny. Cut that out. This is funny." "Up In Smoke" posed no such distractions.

At least Dazed and Confused works fine whether the viewer is baked or not. Up In Smoke is pretty lame by itself. (I remember going to see this with my older brother back in the day. I was probably fourteen or so. We went to see it at a theater called Don Pancho's, an independent in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The movie screen was shrouded in a white haze, which was pretty common when seeing movies at that venue. Does that happen anywhere anymore? Not that I want it to, since I detest the smell of cannabis, but it seems remarkable to me that just a couple of decades ago, thsi happened so frequently and so casually.)

Been a long time since I smelled pot at a movie theater but I went to a Warriors game (NBA basketball) earlier this year and was surprised that I was smelling it constantly through the entire evening.

Were they playing Portland?

I know a ton has been said about Cloverfield, but gosh I love this film. The intensity of the acting was just right and the effects were great. The pay off wasn't great, but it was decent.
Love this film.
