D-Day...It's cracking wonderfully!!!!
I just wanted you to know that Im thinkin of you. Hope you have a great weekend.
so I only just read my e-mails today! Thank you! x
You haven't blogged yet today! How weird, I was updating at the very moment you were reading my last entry! Hmmm, are we in tune with those cosmos??
Tyler-CF, Thanks for visiting, I feel humble!
I love watching a good old movie. I dont mean a black and white movie cause I am very narrow minded when it comes to movies and if it's not in colour, it aint worth watching! It means it was made WEEEELL before my time and I have this real numbness when I see an old movie with over acting bacd acting and cinema kisses that never stop.
What I like the most about movies that become timeless (I am talking about moivies made in 70s and over) is the phrases that are heard over and over again and you never get bored with them.
The most famous would be: Frankly me Dear, I dont give a Damn and yes...I know this film was made in the 30s but Gone with the Wind is a total classic and it is in colour! That said I have watched it once and missed about 15 minutes of the end. Never felt the need to watch it again.
No one of my favourite would be 'Adriaaaaan'. Ah Sylvester Stalone and his gooey eyes crying for his wife after the boxing match he's just lost. Whether it is Rocky, Rocky I, II, II or IV all of them are just Brilliant! Classic with crappy acting but fantastic 80s music and show off attitude. Cheesy? Oh yes please!!
And in the same year, Spycho Robert de Niro in Taxi Driver is looking at himself in the miror and is saying 'Are you talking to me'. LOL How many times have I said that phrase when I am pretending to be hard and about to throw a right hook....usually it's with D and I never hit him. He is bigger than me!
The very famous Star Wars has its own phrases...more than one even. 'May the force be with you' or 'I am your father' or even 'Ready are you'.... Yoda and is funny quotes. Whoever wrote these must have had a real laugh! I use of these quote yearly. Usually on the 4th of May. And I never get tired of it. 'May the 4th be with you'!!
There are film I like to watch over and over again and never get tired of them. The Karate Kid seuquels are one of them. Althought the 1 and 2 are by far better than the 3rd and 4th. And of course you get the 'Wax on, wax off' quote which springs to mind! I was in love with Ralph Macchio when I was 14. I thought he was gorgeous. Then I realise he was quite older than me and still looked like a teenager. That killed it for me! Has that guy ever done anymore film? Might have to google his name one day!
Without knowing all the films from where all the quites come from this is a few that come to mind: 'ET phone Home'... yeah well ok. that's from ET. 'Come on, make my day'...dont know where's that from. ' Hasta la vista baby' or 'I'll be back' Ahhh if only Arnie kept to movies. Mind you he wasn't even good at that!. I love Christopher Lambert in 'Highlander' and 'There can only be one!' What dont they make films like this no more... such a shame!!
'Oh Captain, my Captain' standing on a desk looking down at Robbin Williams leaving the class for good. Brings a tear to my eye again (Dead Poets Society)
'No one puts baby in the corner' YEAH... you said it well Patrick Swayze. So glad I am going to see the West End 'Dirty Dancing' show in London soon!!
For the most recent quotes we have the unforgettable: 'You are a TOOOOOOY' and 'To Infinity and beyond' (Toy Story), or 'Show me the Moneeeeeeeey' (Jerry Maguire), 'Life's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get' by the Magnificant Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump; but also 'I'm the king of the world' or 'I see dead people' and the forvever never dying and always as sexy as ever 'My name's Bond.... James bond' (Thank God for the new Blond guy.... he is yummy!)
So anyway.. that was just a little wink to all the great films I like. There are more films of course but I am tired of typing now...
