Its a wild mix of foreign films, dramas, amine, action films, comedies, and 80's movies that I haven't seen in a while. Interestingly, I've decided not to watch too many of these old 80's films because I don't want to ruin my memory of them.
There are movies that still hold up through the decades (yikes, its been decades?) ala Starwars, Can't buy me love, Top Gun, Ladyhawke, etc etc. But there are some more obscure ones that I remember loving as a kid and now didn't like so much.
A couple that come to mind that I rewatched recently were Space Camp, Cloak & Dagger and War Games. I remember loving these movies as a kid, but upon rewatching I think I ruined my memory of them. Oh well, I'll probably keep them in the queue so I can reminiscence about my childhood...
The poor kid was actually schizophrenic and imagined he was being helped by some super spy he created in his mind. I think he grows up to become the main character in Fight Club.
Lance Bass has it all wrong, you don't need $20 million to have the Russians take you to space. You just need to befriend a good intentioned robot to send you accidentally into space.
What the hell? Some kid hacked into NORAD's nuclear missile control using a dial-up modem and an Apple IIe. Shoot, all I was ever allowed do was play Oregon Trail.
I swear, if thieves come and steal one more Ox. I'm burning this whole muthafucking trail to the ground!
The funny thing was when I logged onto Netflix to see what movies I had coming, their suggestion categories were pretty hilarious. Also, I think the categories for movies these day's is pretty F'ing specific. Its no longer just "Action" or "Comedy". I suppose there are so many movies out that extremely specific movie categories are required.
Here are three movie categories that were suggested to me by the omniscient Netflix computer:
Gritty Crime Thriller - Ok, I'm cool with that. I liked Usual Suspects and Heat.
Romantic Drama Featuring Strong Female Lead - WTF? Really? My cousin wanted me to get P.S. I love you (which I thought was ok) and now I'm a butch lesbian?
Visually Striking Mind-Bending Movies from the 1970's - HUH? What the hell kinda category is that? I guess I should never selected Clockwork Orange.
I'm off to Kansas City again this weekend. My dad's birthday is next week and he's actually flying out to Seattle (to visit my sister) so we'll hang out this weekend.
Oh, for any Catholic readers out there...only a few more day's till Lent is over. Then you can resume your debauchery...you freakin heathens! =P
