Since I was still feeling generally pretty crap-tacular, I decided that it was the "Comfort Movie" stage of "O:TNTFLCA". I grabbed a few DVDs and crashed on the couch in the front room. I started out with "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", which I hadn't seen in years. I've owned it since '02, but I don't think I've watched the whole thing since my Aunt Phyllis took me to see it when it came out in 1988! I still marvel at how amazing that movie is, and all of the technical things they were able to pull off merely using hand-drawn animation - no computers were used whatsoever! And yes, I thought Jessica Rabbit was hot. Not as hot as Daphne from Scooby Doo, mind you, but I digress (before I really creep anyone out).
Next up was "The Goonies". I was never a huge fan of this movie like some people were, but it's always been good fun. Plus Cyndi Lauper did the theme song, with a video featuring the Iron friggin' Shiek! C'mon, how could you not love that?
I never really realized how much of it was just unexplained, or just rushed through, just to be explained by simple exposition in the dialogue. I can't stand that. And they were always yelling over each other for no apparent reason. Why did I like this movie again? Oh, yeah. Good, dumb fun. Oh, and Kerri Green. What can I say? I have a thing for redheads. At least she's not a cartoon! :-)
I think that's a good color for today. Red. Indeed.
