I would say it is definitely a touchstone, and it has the teen movie plot of geeky girl gets sexy gets guy, plus dancing.
Ooh. Yeah, I might be down with that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
I haven't seen The Godfather or The Godfather Part II or Schindler's List or Lawrence of Arabia or Brazil.
I am aware that this makes me evil. I plan to rectify. They just all seem so long and serious and I am often in the mood for short and and giggleful.

Thrive to spite them
I used that quote the other day at work.
Everyone looked at me strange...it was more what I was refering to than no one getting it.

Were we supposed to? Whatever! I saw Clueless.
And I didn't like Casablanca, which from everything I had heard about it, I should have loved. Now I don't go out of my way to watch over-hyped classics because, really, I think I expect too much from them.

If I only had a brain...
You get a pass on Schindler's list.
You HAVE to see T G now. It's a really important American movie. And I bet you would find Lawrence of A fun IFF you find a way to see it in a theater.

Just the first Godfather?
And I'm sure Lawrence probably plays every now and again around LA. Hmm. Maybe when I have a car I'll go hunt it down, so I don't have to rely on talking someone else into it, which I'm notoriously bad at. I could be at the bottom of a bridge yelling that the water is really great down there, and everyone at the top would probably walk away.

You have to see the first one; if you don't want to see the second one, that's fine. I'm betting you will want to see it.

Hmm. Maybe. I'm sure they have it at the Cinema library, so at least it would be free...

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Besides which American Pie (the first one anyway) is a pretty sweet movie.
Really? Even though there's sex with dessert?
I have now seen Harold and Kumar. It was well worth my dollar (it's already at the dollar theatre). I loathe White Castle, so when I got out of the movie, I got McDonald's.
I still like Dude, Where's My Car? better, but Harold and Kumar was pretty funny.
