Maybe I will watch T.R. again and try to ignore the Arquette presence. Maybe.

I just love the whole thing: the look of the film, the sound, the long monologues (Dennis Hopper’s confrontation with Christopher Walken comes to mind), Gary Oldman the white pimp, Val Kilmer the imaginary Elvis, Michael Rapaport the hack actor, Bronson Pinchot to toady, James Gandolfini the muscle, Brad Pitt the stoner (“don’t condenscend me, man…”) and all the glorious, glamourous violence. It’s just great!

>> Reminds me of the time my mom took me to see “Risky Business”…

I think I also saw “Risky Business” on cable or (more likely) VHS with my mom and squirmed uncomfortably as Tom and Rebecca De Mornay got busy on the stairs. (Of course, being distracted, I had to go back and watch that scene a few more times when the parents weren’t around.)

>> ..that movie theatre that used to be at McCain Mall…

Of course I remember that place! I spent half my adolescence in there. First it was the Flick Twin in Jacksonville; a bunch of the neighborhood kids would get dropped off there to see a movie and then we’d hike down Main Street to the Electric Cowboy arcade afterwards. In Jr. High it was the McCain Mall Cinema and the Aladdin’s Castle arcade.

Funny, you should make a movie post this week, my friend Amy did as well. Take a look, I think you'll snicker... www.xanga.com/goofygrapes . Also, thanks for the encouraging remarks on my site. :-) That's a pretty funny anecdote about going to see the movie with your mom. Reminds me of the time my mom took me to see "Risky Business" when I was like, oh, 11 or 12. And the whole time I was extremely uncomfortable and all she was worried about all the nice stuff in that house getting ruined. We really didn't know what it was about when we bought our tickets for some reason, but since we paid for it, we stayed the whole time. We saw it at that movie theatre that used to be at McCain Mall next to where Farrell's used to be. Remember that place? It was dark, creepy, kind of underground...but really cool to watch a movie at.

But I can't get too superior, being as I'm highly embarrassed at how hard I laughed at "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle." Stupid, YES. But I laughed and laughed. And what is it about "True Romance?" Alex thinks that movie is great, and I hate, hate, hate it. I've never run across an Arquette yet that could actually act. Yes, Keira Knightley is very, very pretty. As are her boobs. We'll probably see that one at some point. Alex has never, ever seen "Marathon Man", so I've got to make sure that's coming up soon in the queue. We watched something SO bad last week that there was just not a bad enough rating for it, but I seem to have blocked it out. I also want a rating category for "wannabe" movies. The recent movies "Hide and Seek" and the gosh-awful French film "High Intensity" both wanted to be "Identity." They failed. And dang it, that French movie got some good critical response, and that makes me ticked off at critics. But Alex and I both swore that the ratty, armored-looking van the "bad guy" drives in "H.I." is the same exact one that the monster-thing drove in the equally bad "Jeepers Creepers". Where are the good modern horror/suspense films? Don’t do it? Uh, I won’t.
