I've seen scads of them. SCADS, I tell you!!!<br /><br />I should track this down. I hate romantic comedies. But this stars The Fly and Cyndi Lauper.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-71913395572686023392011-09-29T15:16:33.866-04:002011-09-29T15:16:33.866-04:00I've always wanted to see this one, I ignored ...I've always wanted to see this one, I ignored it upon it's initial release (I was 12) but now I'd love to check it out, it sounds quirky.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-61411383653437685692011-03-18T23:12:12.101-04:002011-03-18T23:12:12.101-04:00"Babes and Vinyl" and "Funky Junk&q..."Babes and Vinyl" and "Funky Junk" are awesome.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-16001669462679410692011-01-09T03:16:27.208-05:002011-01-09T03:16:27.208-05:00you know I love it. almost as much as I love Eliza...you know I love it. almost as much as I love Elizabeth PeñaP and Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09005196267067819080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-47885878233962337642010-01-13T04:11:59.189-05:002010-01-13T04:11:59.189-05:00Notice I didn't mention the effects-heavy fina...Notice I didn't mention the effects-heavy finale? Yeah, I didn't care for them either.<br /><br />The colours on the new DVD really pop, especially when it comes to Lauper's wardrobe and the Ecuadorian landscapes.

Good chemistry between the leads, and a fun, appealing buffoon of a villain. <br /><br />But that was years ago and this is now. Dare I venture a rewatch, Yums?

For example, I've never seen the original Rocky in the traditional start to finish manner. <br /><br />The Vicar of VHS: Don't be sorry. Using Cyndi Lauper song titles is an excellent way to communicate one's thoughts. Only problem is I can't seem to think of way to insert "She Bop" into a sentence without looking insecurious. <br /><br />Johnny Rico: I love "Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China)." In fact, it's the only Cyndi song I listen to a semi-regular basis. <br /><br />Whenever I find myself having difficulty deciding when my Jeff Goldblum appreciation first started, I just throw my bracelet covered arms in the air and yell "The Fly" at the top of my lungs. ;)Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-14534769749859331992009-09-30T18:47:35.110-04:002009-09-30T18:47:35.110-04:00I'd give you the finger, sweetie, but I'm ...<i>I'd give you the finger, sweetie, but I'm too refined.</i> Priceless.<br /><br />Let's not forget the amazing <i>Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China)</i>, a Japanese-only release that still remains rather obscure compared to the rest of Cyndi's opus.<br /><br />I can't decide if this is where my Jeff Goldblum appreciation first started, or if it was in <i>Earth Girls Are Easy</i>.<br /><br />Wasn't Julian Sands in this one, as well?
