I should totally write a mystery that a woman solves thanks to her knowledge of "Say Anything" which the police, being older guys, are going to miss completely. Like there's no way the vic would turn off the video in the middle of Lloyd standing in the rain and stuff. And the Detective could be all "Maybe she found something else to do," and my sleuth could say "How old is she?"
" Thirty."
"It's Lloyd...that's never gonna happen. We've got a crime scene, boys and girls."
Vonnie, I read that link, and scared myself. Because I think I could crush on Klosterman for all the reasons he says I shouldn't. And, yes, giant Woody Allen fan.
OMG, erika, you
must
write that mystery. Must.

Not just Say Anything, but just generally 80's pop culture. She wasted too much time/energy in highschool and college, it was thought, but now she uses it to save lives!
I can see it now... my homicide detectives being all "Who or what is a Dobler?"
Having to call up their daughters and wondering why the P.I and the crime scene techs keep repeating "a brain trapped in the body of a game show hostess," and smiling to themselves.
And every female witness is all " And they were under the blanket, and it's raining...God, I love that part."
And they're all lost cause they love "Mean Streets" or something.
I just saw
Waiting for Guffman.
It was funny, and just what I needed after a crappy afternoon.

BEST IN SHOW is a lot of fun too, plus cute dogs. I haven't seen the third one yet (A MIGHTY WIND) even though I own it.
Best in Show is best in show for Guest films, as far as I'm concerned. Love it with a great big warmth. I liked Guffman a LOT, too. Wind? I enjoyed it until the last 5 minutes and then stormed off in a huff. Absolutely hated the final gag and felt like it ruined the whole she-bang.

Beej, was that the
sex change?
I keep wondering if that was inspired by/based on the person from Jethro Tull's RL story.
Persactly.
Jethro Tull?

eta: Okay. Still not funny. And, might just be cruelly meanspirited. Maybe meant in some positive way...but it was such a veering, it just seemed cheap.

The best part in it (for me) is when the theatre liason finally snaps. I may have overidentified a wee bit.
"Yes, it's perfectly fine. You know, I really don't have time to explain Stagecraft 101. This show starts in an hour."
