There was a trailer on the DVD for a flick called Blue Sunshine that seems to be some sort of corporate conspiracy thing...wonder if that's where "Blue Sun" came from?
It's not - it's (going to spoiler font)
about a group of people who all dropped a mutant version of LSD back in the 60s that, 10 years later, turns them into murderous psychotics. The conspiracy aspect is that the guy who cooked up the LSD is now a prominent politician, and is trying to keep his past a secret.
Starring Mr. Red Shoe Diaries himself, Zalman King.
I saw
Happy Endings
on Saturday night. It had some really brilliant moments, and the acting was good - Maggie Gyllenhaal, particularly, was fabulous. As a whole movie, I'm not sure it really fit together all that fabulously, but I came out of the movie feeling fully satisfied. If it sounds interesting to you, check it out.
We had TONS of trailers that I loved (yay!) including:
The Aristocrats
- I need to see this because dirty jokes are funny.
Pretty Persuasion
- Evan Rachel Wood doing a SMG-in-Cruel-Intentions impression. This movie sounds interesting and freaky enough that I have to see it, especially since I Heart ERW
Broken Flowers
- Yay Bill Murray! I will see this.
Shopgirl
- This looked interesting. Of the ones i saw, it's the one I'm most likely to skip, but Claire Danes!
Rent
- The theater started clapping to the music. Some of us sang along, quietly. Of COURSE I'm seeing this.

The book is hilarious and lovely, and the trailer looks promising.
I think I need to warm up by looking at pictures of fuzzy puppies, baby pandas, and grinning babies. Together.
So, basically you need to look at a book of Anne Geddes pictures.
Last night I saw (for the first time)
Footloose
and
Flashdance.
So fun.
Flashdance
is a terrible film in every way but cinematography and art direction.
Footloose
was fabulous and now I want to watch it again fifty bazillion times and also get up and dance during the musical numbers.

Coincedentally, I am now listening to The Police.

My HS GF loved that flick. So I like it when others besides myself say it sucks.
Robin, I'm just sad you never had the chance to be in fifth grade and do a whole routine to the song "Footloose," culminating in jumping off the coffee table.
When I was in high school, our marching band did an entire show based on songs from Footloose. We started with the 20th Century Fox theme, moved into Footloose, then a medley of Let's Hear it for the Boy and Holding Out for a Hero. Our closer was Almost Paradise.
Even then we thought it was stupid.
So, if
Footloose
came out in 84 (which, uncoincidentally, it did), and people are in fifth grade at ten (this I have less surety of), then you'd probably have to be born no earlier than 74 to have this opportunity. With adjustments for academic years, yadda yadda.
Jesse, how young are you? Also, keep off the lawn.
I was born in 73, and was in 5th grade in 83-84.
