A Rather Confusing Day

So on Saturday, Amber and I watched On Moonlight Bay, a rather non-sensical Doris Day musical set in 1918. We didn't understand it one bit.

At first, it seemed to be about a tomboy who gets spanked by her next door neighbor for shooting him with a gun. But then, she quickly becomes a lady and falls for him, then we realize he is a Communist and her father doesn't like him. Then, he signs up for The War.


I still don't get it. The box sure didn't prepare us, nor did Amber's $80k Film Degree.

Here's a sequence we particularly liked. Doris' little brother goes to the movies and sees this anti-booze propaganda film. Of course, after this he starts a rumor in town that his own dad beats the family, but somehow that's OK.




Anyway, thanks Doris.

'Race to Witch Mountain' Theatrical Trailer @ Yahoo! Video

I want to go to there.

If anyone in the 21st Century is worthy of picking up Bette Davis' mantle as the adult in this franchise, it's my beau. I will be first in line at this 11am, half-price matinee. March 13th, Save The Date!

Sorry, Old People

Remember Rabbit Ears? And turning the dial for UHF and VHF?



Hee hee. Sorry, old lady.

Foreigners Watch The Darndest Things

My dear friend Jesse blogged about this already, but in the spirit of all things Internet I am now doing same.

This site here collects all these movie posters that foreigners made. I blogged a while ago about how foreigners like to re-title our movies with goofy names, but I sure didn't have this much physical evidence.

My recollection of Bullitt was a confusing, non-consequential plot, fast car chases and Steve McQueen's icey stare. I don't remember this horrifying German zombie.

How is this Weekend At Bernies? No, really, explain it to me.


Hee hee. Planet Of The Apes was not REALLY a planet made of an ape.

I'm pretty sure I would remember this scene from its sequel, Escape From The Planet of The Apes.


My memory of Alien was scary enough before I saw this poster.

My memory of Faye Dunaway in Chinatown was scary enough without this image of her getting a sword up the nose.
Muppets! Muppets! ANIMAL!

Thanks for the fun times, Internet!

Murder, She Ran

If anyone asks me why I like Murder, She Wrote so much, I give this short clip as my answer.

The Best Kitten Audiobook Ever

Oh my F'ing Everything.



I know, two kitten posts, two days in the row. But really? In terms of enjoyment per second, this is better than Buffy.

A Tale of Two Cuties

Oops, I overslept again. And I need to be at work in minutes to let in all my foreigner buddies visiting this week.

And yet, I can't tear myself away from the cute cat websites.



I love cats who love watermelons, and certainly cats who love bacon.

Oh, and Happy Birthday, Mr. Darwin. Thanks for the evolutionary memories.
