I just found "Clueless" last night in my car....It's the Wolfette's, but I'm sure she'll let me borrow.

It's a little dated now but it holds up. The script is hilarious. This movie got kinda lumped in with a lot of teen comedies that came out around it but it's a good one, more of a parody. Very quotable.

I walked out on Clueless in the theater. But I was in high school with a bunch of guys, so I was just kinda going with the crowd and hating it because I was supposed to. I finally sat down and watched it not long after and really really enjoyed it. It's one of Paul Rudd's best performances, imo.

I've kind of gone the opposite way. I really liked it the first time I saw it but then have less each time I've seen it (or more often just a part of it). I guess it is just a sign of how far I am from the teenaged girl I used to be.

And this is the true story of how I came to see it that first time. A friend in my dorm was thoroughly turned on by that Alicia Silverstone/Liv Tyler video they did for Aerosmith. So I ended up accompanying him and some other friends even though I'd never heard of her, seen the video, or had any interest in the movie. (Oh what a backward time that they could only tell me about the video and hope that it would come on MTV at some point when I was around.)

I like Paul Rudd a lot. Yep, great in Clueless. I liked him in Object of My Affection also but maybe because the film hit more of a personal chord with me, I could personally identify with both the Rudd and Aniston characters at the same time. Not the best film, I guess, but it was ok.

There was also a shot of him in Romeo + Juliet that I loved. Just a cheesy reaction by his character Paris that makes me laugh.

Read the book. It's much better, imo. (But aren't they always?)

George Washington Slept Here is on this morning on TCM. I love this movie. It cracks me up. Too bad it's not available on DVD. I'd watch it over and over. I find it to be funnier than Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. It's interesting that there are a lot of similarities between the two movies.

I'm watching Planet of the Apes - it was originally released today in 1968.

Whenever I watch Planet of the Apes, I always feel compelled to watch my entire box-set of Apes movies over a few consecutive evenings. The first four all have enough good stuff going for them that I really enjoy re-watching them. The fifth (Battle for the POTA) is fairly skippable, but I slog through it anyway. I also have the TV series on DVD and I want to get the cartoon series as well. I'll never feel the need to rewatch Tim Burton's version again, though.

Cover Girl

Wonderful, awesome cast. Movie is not so great. But it does break my heart to say so, I mean it does have Rita Hayworth, Gene Kelly, Phil Silvers and Eve Arden in it. But still it's dull dull dull.
