we rented evil dead 2 and then watched the first one. i finally get it. i thought i would hate these films, but i suprised myself by really liking them. they are weird and funny and like nothing i've ever seen. i assumed i'd hate the movies and was prepared to break it to groundcat very gently. instead, i found myself watching all the extras on the DVDs, including a documentary by & about bruce campbell. i feel so ashamed!
we caught the jazz singer on cable. i loved this movie as a kid! "love on the rocks" and "hello" are such good and cheesy ballads. seeing neil diamond trying to "find himself" by wandering around TX in a cowboy hat is good stuff.
i finally saw "the apartment" with jack lemmon & shirely mcclaine. this is now one of my all-time favorite films. jack lemmon is charming and shirley mcclaine is breath-taking. she's so funny and damaged all at once. and jack lemmon is heart-breaking in front of the theater with his kleenex blowing into a puddle.
we also managed to catch "can't stop the music", the pseudo-biography of the village people starring valerie perrine and steve guttenbergh. enough said. bruce jenner plays perrine's love interest and wears short shorts and a cropped t-shirt. it is quite simply the gayest movie i have ever seen in my life and makes "the birdcage" look like a john wayne movie.
we ended the weekend watching our DVD of "let's scare jessica to death", a very underrated horror film that renny & i stumbled upon a discount shelf at a video store in columbus over 10 years ago.
ok, more snow pics, dogs pics and groundcat pics....
why does Groundcat spend so much time napping on the ground...Maybe he needs a job to do...
ReplyDeleteyou should watch "Days of Wine and Roses" with Jack Lemon...no pun intended,..
ReplyDeleteThe Apartment is a brilliant film. Great screenplay, great direction, and wonderful performances from Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray. This is one of my five favorite films of all time.
