I heart "That thing You Do!" not least because neither I nor my dad came out of it kvetching.
Numfar! Do the dance of joy.

move out and draw fire
Beverly, I can't say for sure, having only seen the French language version, but I do remember hearing that they recut for the American release. Not sure what the changes were.
We got our (new! big!) TV yesterday and watched the new DVD version of Empire Strikes Back to break it in. Of the three, TESB has the fewest changes, and some were actually good. None (in this movie) were out-and-out bad. Anyway, that's not my topic. My topic is how much hanging out with you people has ruined me!!!! I swear to dog I saw the HoYay between Han and Luke.
So let's call that my biggest surprise.
Otherwise, I was expecting to either hate Amateur or just feel that it was a waste of time, but I ended up liking it quite a bit.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Art Crawl!!!
That's why Gromit sponsored the on-line video coverage of Westminster.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Have finally seen Velvet Goldmine. Man, there's a lot of pretty in that film. Pretty pretty pretty. My crush on Ewan McGregor remains at full strength, Toni Collette is fucking gorgeous, and I continue to think Christian Bale is Creepy McCreeperson. Also, Brian Molko is adorable.
Really, there's not much else to it, is there? But so pretty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I continue to think Christian Bale is Creepy McCreeperson
That's gonna help with Batman.

Oh, definitely. I'm looking forward to that.

What? No mention of Jonathan Rhys-Myers? He's the one who really brings the pretty, in my opinion.
I may be old, but I'm not blind, and I'm on HRT so even though finding him aesthetically pleasing in every way makes me a bit of a chicken hawk, I don't freakin' care.
Mmmmm.....Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.....mmmmm......
Unfortunately, the DVD doesn't have any of the extra goodies I've come to need and cherish.
Oooh! And just looking over at IMDB, I see JRM is going to be in (apparently) a live version of The Last Unicorn (as Schmendrick). Yay!

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Super Troopers, which I expected to be dumb and not funny.
Plei is me and I am Plei and we are all together. Or something.
I saw the promos for Super Troopers when it made it to the cinemas in SA but it looked moronic. I then happened to be at a mate's place when it showed up on cable TV and we ended up kacking ourselves watching it. Very funny and much more intelligent than I'd expected.
