Q. of the Day
Ella (a.k.a. "the human alarm clock") woke up at 4:50 a.m. ... how does she know I have to get up at 5:15? Wish I could get those last few minutes of sleep back. She's got a mild case of pinkeye, which has translated to me somehow as a summertime cold.
Yik.
Anyway, I'm in the midst of a poem for Poetry Thursday. In the meantime, I thought I'd post a question to "keep things whole." (Yes, that's a reference to the Mark Strand poem.)
Here's the Q. of the day:
My top three:
1. Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan
How can you not watch a movie with lines like, "Revenge is a dish best served cold"?
2. Poltergeist
Have you seen it lately ... it scares the bejesus of me yet I'll still watch it.
3. Sneakers
I think it's the last movie where Robert Redford looks rugged and cool, not old and holding onto his youth with both hands, as he does now. Also, awesome cast: River Phoenix, Sidney Portier, Mary McDonnell, etc.
Yeah, I could have said Goodfellas or All the President's Men, but my picks I classify as true guilty pleasures. Also, my first job was as a concessionist at a movie theater ("Would you like butter flavoring with your popcorn?") so my love of movies runs deep.
Now it's your turn. What movie(s) do you break for no mater what?
Yik.

If you're flipping channels on television, what movie(s) do you stop to watch no matter what?

I am truly shameful.
No shame here. Just movies.
A League of Their Own, The Princess Bride, Clueless, My Cousin Vinny, pretty much any Bill Murray movie, pretty much any musical (but especially the ones from the 1950's or so)

We should form a support group . . .
And my coworker who likes the movie is also a cheerleading instructor. She says kids would never do those flips in high school. That's college-level stuff.
