Movie To Watch - Jack

I've always said that this is my favourite Francis Ford Coppola movie, but it might just be my favourite Robin Williams one as well. (Though, man... that's a really hard call to make. Have you seen What Dreams May Come? I'll never get over that movie.)

In any case, I love this movie so much. And maybe you're thinking that's only because I saw it so many times as a child and so it'll forever have a sweet spot in my heart... and honestly? Maybe that's the truth of it. If you haven't seen it, you should probably watch it for the first time with your kid or niece or nephew or someone of that age. I really think it holds up well. 

Parade

I always wanted this scene to be longer.

Gaze

Ummmm, this is great, right? Yes, yes it is! Especially because of the fact that I'm constantly telling people what to watch and episodes of things that are great - and I always want to be sitting beside them to see if they're actually enjoying it. Saying, that out loud makes it seem abnormal, I realize. I just love watching shows/movies I love with friends! Or forcing them to sit in one spot and soak up whatever hilarity I'm placing upon their eyes. Either way.

Such a great idea! 

Last Holiday

Did you see this movie? It came out in 2006. And honestly? It's a really good time. I'm purposely not posting the trailer for it here since it has one of those trailers that are way too long and give the entire movie away (why does this happen, it makes ZERO sense). And I don't really want to do a point-by-point review of it since it's not technically a "really good movie." It just made me feel so good in a way that makes me watch it once a year or so. Kind of the way that Julie & Julia makes me feel good. Am I confessing too much to you here? Other than my brother Robbie, absolutely no man on earth will think this movie is a good time (is this sexist or just accurate... no idea). But if you're a woman and we're friends? I feel like you should give this a chance at some point. Just a heads up.

Longest Argument

God, I love this.

Under The Stars

It might be abnormal to choose this as one of the top three songs from The Lion King, I realize. But do you remember the scene when it first played? At night? 'Cause it was memorable as hell. Love this so much.

The Tumble in Scrooged

Let me be clear, it is not funny when someone in real life falls down. That being said, this part in the movie Scrooged (at 20 seconds) when Bill Murray first stumbles and then slips from his foot sliding sideways? I lose my shit every single time I see it. That foot slip looks like it was a complete accident (and that'll be the first thing I ask the man if I ever meet him), which is maybe why I find it so especially fantastic. Love this man. Love this fall. 

Knight of Cups Trailer

I feel like this could really be something (as long as it's nothing like Tree of Life), but I'm not sure. There's just something about seeing Christian Bale's face  that makes me think things are going to turn out all right.

Happy (American) Thanksgiving!

Melting Toht Candle

Ummm, this is fantastic. And probably the world's best gift for anyone whose favourite movie was Raiders of the Lost Ark. 

As it burns, it looks more and more like Gestapo agent Arnold Ernst Toht as his face melts off at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark (the first Indiana Jones movie), when the Nazis open the Ark of the Covenant and suffer the wrath of God. You can get this ($32) Melting Toht Candle from Firebox.
