What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[Claire]

Last night we watched Adaptation and then Platoon.

We kept cracking up during Platoon, saying inappropriate things like, "Uh oh, another voiceover" or "Here we go. A bonding scene with singing and dancing....what a crappy script." Perhaps we shouldn't have watched Adaptation first.

I don't think Platoon belongs on AFI's Top 100 Movies List. It's a movie I've seen a dozen times and I don't think the acting, writing, story, or photography are over-whelmingly wonderful enough to make the cut. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie....there are lots of cut guys (not cute, cut, as in those biceps are CUT) and it's an okay war movie, but there are better.

Adaptation is still funny as hell. "That's how much fvck fish." I love the LaRoche character sooo much. Then I realized that holy crap, he reminds me of my step-dad. "I'm the smartest person I know!"

Tonight.....we'll most likely watch Schindlers List (keep saying we will, but the motivation's not there), The Graduate, or Dial M for Murder. We've strayed from the AFI list, because my husband is currently loving Hitchcock movies.....and then Euro mentioned High Society, so my husband made me rent it.....so we might watch High Society. So much for AFI.
