Hello and happy holidays! Inspiration (ie COMPULSION) always strikes at the strangest times. Today, after a LOOONNNGG dryspell, I started coming up with a mental list. Maybe the yearend is making me take stock, maybe all my "to do" lists triggered something. More likely, however, I was thinking of the things I SHOULD DO and things I DID THAT REALLY DIDN'T LIVE UP TO THEIR HYPE. So I started mentally ticking off the movies EVERYONE'S seen that I haven't. And then the books/movies I read/saw that EVERYONE loved, but left me saying BFD. So feel free to wonder, like I have, if I'm actually even HUMAN, or maybe I'm missing a crutial DNA that everyone else seems to have IN SPADES.
MOVIES I'VE NEVER SEEN:
1) Godfather (any), Goodfellas, Scarface - just too violent
2) Star Trek (any)
3) Rocky (any)
4) Casablanca
5) Gone With the Wind - just too damn long.
6) Fletch
7) whatever the movie is where Meryl streep says , "The dingos took my baby". And let me say, if a dingo DOES really take her baby I do NOT want to EVER see this movie. And it's not the least bit funny.
8) Deliverance
9) Sex and the City
10) It's a Wonderful Life
11) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
12) James Bond - that's right NONE
BOOKS/MOVIES I FOUND MEDIOCRE AT BEST:
1) Bridges of Madison County
2) The Lovely Bones - where's the JUSTICE!?!
3) The Shawshank Redemption
4) The Art of Racing in the Rain - again...JUSTICE?!?!
5) Erin Brockovich
6) The Blindside - Hallmark movie of the week, in my opinion
7) Tuesdays With Morrie
