That’s not my autobiography. I just had time\u00a0the\u00a0other day, so I decided to watch this movie. I imagine everyone not a kid has seen it–because I’ve seen quotes on the internet for more than a dozen years, in the weirdest places. The internet does have that about it–it makes things look universal, but also very dated…\u00a0The story was pretty funny, but not extraordinary. More on that below. The main takeaway is that I used it make fun of Skip in the PIT. Unfortunately, he’s seen it, too, so he used it to make fun of me. That’s 90 minutes I shan’t get back in a hurry…<\/p>\n
Now, the strangest thing about the comedy is that the good guys are full of excellences, but not particularly lawful, whereas the bad guys are rather on the incompetent side–although they’re quite good at deception. This is not the way comedies, even kids’ comedies, usually work. One does not encounter such pleasure & praise for being admirable, far better than most in comedies. It’s told as a story for kids, but I think that only means that kids are not as yet dead set against admiring the best among us. Also, blue-eyed blonds are the lovers who have found true love… Also, the kid thinks he’s quite unsentimental up until the romantic end, but he’s also afraid the good guys might lose. I think that’s one of those obvious facts that matters far more than people can tell. Mostly, I think that peoples who tell stories without happy ends don’t do well…<\/p>\n
That’s enough for now. If anyone liked the movie & could stand to chat about it, let’s! This is my inaugural post\u00a0here–unbidden, might I add–&, hopefully, the first of many. I could say something now & then about movies, music, & books. If you let me know what sorts of things you’re interested in–possibly, interested in talking about–we could figure out a way to chat about these things somewhat constantly. I’m not sure how much movie talk or music talk you’ve got in your lives, but I could stand to have a bit more. &, too, we’ll learn what we have in common, so that would be good.<\/p>\n
