Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[MouseWife]

'Friday' is one of the most funny movies I've ever seen!!

{what is difficult is trying not to show the kids that we 'get' a lot of the funny stuff....and, yes, we have watched this with the little one, too}

The two sequels were good but the first one was best.

The other movies you posted, dang, funny!! I love 'Encino Man' {love Brendan Frasier, I think he has a new movie out but I only knew this by walking around Blockbuster?!!!}.

Ah, le lust.

Yeah. I get that. My friend told me it isn't that we are naughty women, we just know their potential.

{or is that, in fact, naughty? }

Now that I've watched a few movies, I need to read a book. 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. I think the other one I want to read/buy is 'Aria'. {okay,I am derailing...I'm so outta here!}

"Every time I come in the kitchen, you in the kitchen. In the ***damn refrigerator, eatin' up all the food. All the chicken. All the pig feet. All the collard greens. All the hog maw. I wanna eat some of them chitlins! I like pig feet!"

I love that line!! Hog maw?? That's the best name for a dish EVER. And in it's original Pennsylvanian German language it's even better. It's like, smegma or something. Wait..I gotta find out..

Oops. I'ts "Seimaaga". Hog maw, smegma, seimaaga. It's all foul ass to me.

Did anybody here see I'm Gonna Git You Sucka? The Chris Rock "gimmee some ribs!" scene slays me. In fact, I didn't even realize that was Chris Rock until catching it on cable a few years ago. Chris Rock slays me, too.

I found one of the best rib scene quotes on IMDb!
Rib Joint Customer: Ya got any soda?
Hammer: One dollar.
Rib Joint Customer: Aw, c'mon, now! Look out for a brother, man, c'mon, yeah. Check this out: why don't you let me get a sip for fifteen cents?
Hammer: My cups cost more than fifteen cents!
Rib Joint Customer: All right, f uck the cup. Pour it in my hand for a dime.

Oh, and it's not naughty, MouseWife! It's all about knowing the potential, as you say. My face may look older (which reminds me, I'm lusting for botox) but my hormones haven't aged a bit! If anything, they just keep going backwards giving me the drive of a teenage boy. This is why Zac & I are perfect for one another in some place in time (and maybe that place is on Mars, but it's still somewhere). Because, we're both teenage boys (me in hormonal spirit, he in, um, actuality.)

Welcome to what my friends call "Shelly logic". (my proper first name is Michelle).

Maddy was out on Friday night so we DVR'd it - she started watching it Saturday but then we ran out to do some errands and she hasn't finished it yet. Not that she didn't have time just wasn't interested in watching the rest.

When Babette was relaying her underwhelming review of Underdog to us last night, as we staggered home from Goth Day, I was remarking how Hollywood won't rest until every last movie, sitcom and Saturday morning cartoon from my youth has be re-made or otherwise mined for profit.

I mentioned that a live-action version of Johnny Quest is now in the making (a cult cartoon beloved by me as a tike, that I was shocked to learn ran only ONE season).

But I forgot to mention that Roland Emerrich (of Godzilla infamy) is remaking Fantastic Voyage, the Raquel Welch starrer from the 60's that perhaps sparked the entire Inner Space vogue fantasy of shrinking to microscopic size.

I'm thinking full length F Troop, except we set it in Iraq, kind of Three Kings, except funnier, and we bring back the Spike Jonze character . . .

How about an all-black Bowery Boyz?

And, you know, some of them really work & are awesome (i.e. The Brady Bunch movies) and others just suck. Mind you, my taste in movies is often questioned here and well, anywhere else people populate, but still.

I'm surprised Gilligan's Island (one of my childhood favorites) hasn't been greenlit, complete with sh*tty miscastings & insulting script reworkings. Or, maybe they just saved Hollywood that masterful fete by giving us the original cast sans Ginger Grant trapped on the island with the Harlem Globetrotters. Who greenlit that trite sh*t?

I bet if I watched it now, I'd probably love it. In fact, I know I would. Read my other posts complete with movies I celebrate and you'll agree, too.

If they can find somebody to fill Grape Ape's feet or be willing to take on Captain Caveman, we'll be in for that treat. These were all childhood faves. However, I'm all for The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop being remade. She was awesome!

I'm still PO'd there is still talk of remaking The Women. Pathetic, how can you mess with perfection?

[innerSpaceman]

I've never seen The Women.





Where do I go to surrender my Gay Card?

Minus princess points for InnerSpaceman.
Minus princess points for AllyOops!



Sounds like I need to have a screening of 'The Women' at my house... or at Chernabog's.

[AllyOops!]

Hahaha! I'm really running out of princess points! I'm powering down!! First The Hot Chick, then The Women!

How can I gain any points back? Your'e a tough crowd!

I own Dr. Strangelove on DVD and have seen it many times. Awesome! A Clockwork Orange, however, is my least favorite movie on the planet. Too visually disturbing, even now. Malcolm McDowell, however? Yummy, villainous stuff.

Oh, golly, what else? I own Casablanca....but, um, I've never seen it or watched it.

Or, as my Dad says sarcastically & with much disappointment as I tell him of never having seen Casablanca, "I'm sure you can name all the members of N*SYNC, though". And with eyes totally rolling. <-- (AllyOops!'s Dad, if he were yellow with a Beatle wig sans mustache.)

"No, Dad. I (Justin, Lance, Chris, Joey & JC) cannot."


And with that, the "princess" was laid to rest for all eternity.
