Sharp as a Marble
HomeAboutContactSyndicationLogin
 

I love my kids. I really do. However, there is something I used to do all the time that now I no longer can.

I fall in love with certain movies and can watch them literally hundreds of times. Aliens. The Matrix. Fletch. Terminator 2. The Fifth Element. The Princess Bride. Toy Story. And many, many more.

But since I don’t have 2 hours to spare any more, I can’t watch these flicks like I used to. And for some reason, I’ve had a hankering to listen to Michael Biehn tell Ripley “It’s the only way to be sure”.

So I can’t just sit down, crank up the new amp to 50 and watch all hell break loose. And I kind of miss it.

Yet another reason that I like to read your blog, mi compadre.

Aliens, Matrix, T2, Fifth Element, Princess Bride, Toy Story, Babette's Feast, Baghdad Cafe, Little Shop of Horrors, Alien, The Abyss, ...

I love certain movies. To the point of nausea. And sometimes for undefinable reasons. I have watched Toys more often than I can count. It's not the best of movies, but it intrigues me for some reason.

I love all those, too, because "they mostly come out at night...mostly".

ths, yiu know what's kind of interesting about that phrase? Carrie Henn, the girl who played Newt, has never acted again after that movie. That was it.

Now why can't I get a sweet deal like that?

Damn! Really? Major Dad and I could have sworn we saw her a couple months ago on TV. Wish I could remember precisely what. I'll have him scratch his head tom. and see if he does. What a first and only role, huh?
