But then I realized that it's probably something South Park related. :D<br /><br />I heard a lot of "Happy Boxing Day!" greetings today, and I still can't seem to tell the difference between which are being ironic and which are being sincere. <br /><br />Anyway, Happy Boxing Day!Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-78115200290565658472009-12-26T13:31:48.376-05:002009-12-26T13:31:48.376-05:00Maybe it was the U.A.C.?

Or maybe someone slipped me some happy pills?<br /><br />I do remember laughing out loud, LOL to the kids these days, at the opening spaceship sequence of Spaceballs. Sis then told me to shut up. I also started laughing when we saw Master and Commander because I couldn't help but think about Russell Crowe fighting around the world. I got a sisterly elbow in the ribs for that one.<br /><br />Oh, Happy Boxing Day!Karim Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548335754518818364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-22711071128688737962009-12-23T20:46:15.702-05:002009-12-23T20:46:15.702-05:00Cinema du Meep: Kudos for putting Susan Seidelman ...Cinema du Meep: Kudos for putting Susan Seidelman in your store's directors section. <br /><br />Karim: You could have been high on shrooms. ;) <br /><br />Seriously, I'm trying to think of what parts you found so funny in this movie. <br /><br />Speaking of not remembering junk, it's looks I forgot that Glenne Headly spells her first name with two e's.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-49365408584337305672009-12-23T19:27:58.593-05:002009-12-23T19:27:58.593-05:00When I saw this movie, way back in 1987, apparentl...When I saw this movie, way back in 1987, apparently I laughed so hard I embarrassed my sister. I don't remember this supposed uproarious laughter, much like I don't remember Glenne Headly in this movie. But I trust my sister's recollection.Karim Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548335754518818364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-35122597348138143282009-12-22T22:17:11.817-05:002009-12-22T22:17:11.817-05:00I desperately love Making Mr. Right.
And Susan Sei...I desperately love Making Mr. Right.<br />And Susan Seidelman beat Wong Kar-Wai by 12 years with the perfect use of The Turtles' Happy Together.<br /><br />I got the chance to meet Susan and her husband when I was the manager of a video store in NYC, and they were appreciative of me putting Seidelman into the directors section. She needs a new leg to her directing career. I hope she finds it.Cinema Du Meephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945241807461396451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-68887473056425528622009-12-22T20:46:49.105-05:002009-12-22T20:46:49.105-05:00Yeah, I've seen Smithereens (I own the Blue Un...Yeah, I've seen Smithereens (I own the Blue Underground DVD). It's grittier, less comedic than Desperately Seeking Susan, but I highly recommend it. A must-see for lovers of New York City and fans of early '80s Punk and New Wave.<br /><br />As for Seidelman's other films... my interest in seeing She-Devil and Cookie is a tad on the low side at the moment.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-55737444835818161732009-12-22T00:43:49.627-05:002009-12-22T00:43:49.627-05:00I love Desperately Seeking Susan, but have only ju...I love Desperately Seeking Susan, but have only just started looking into Seidelman's other movies. This sounds interesting if only for the fashion and cast, but Smithereens also sounded cool. Have you seen it? What other films of hers would you recommend?Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471664551639091150noreply@blogger.com
