We didn't watch movies for a long time because my parents were on a Boston Legal binge. 5 Seasons. James Spader. Candice Bergen. William Shatner. When it ended, my parents were jonesing so hard, they netflixed the cast and the result was a lot of ridiculous movies.
1. White Palace
A young, advertising big shot, James Spader, with a dead wife falls in love with a poor, middle aged, fast food worker, Susan Sarandon and he is embarrassed to introduce her to his shallow friends (Jason Alexander). Good thing she has an estranged fortune telling sister to give him advice! Ridiculous.
2. Pretty in Pink
Again, rich guy falls in love with unlikely poor girl. His friends (the Spaderman himself) is a huge ass. Side note, Sarah and Elana joined us.
3. Rich and Famous
One Smith college girl (our lady Candice) moves to California with a man who secretly loves the best friend who remains in New York and becomes a famous (but not rich writer). Candice gets jealous, writes a book and gets (rich and famous) but her life falls apart while her friends fetish for younger men spirals out of control until one of the men actually ends up with Candice's daughter (a young Meg Ryan). Somehow this movie was over 2 hours long...
While waiting for other netflix DVD's, we resort to my Dad's Frank Sinatra Box Set:
4. The Pride and the Passion
As someone on IMDB so eloquently put it: "Schlep that Cannon" Carey Grant is a British man, Frank Sinatra is a Spaniard and the two of them spend 2 hours trying to transport an enormous cannon from one part of Spain to another bickering over Sophia Loren all the while.
It has been a strange week...
Thank goodness we have had incredible popcorn! Yes, this is literally an ear of corn that you put in a paper bag into the microwave and it just pops like crazy. Check it out:
My mom accidentally took a video.
