Blades Of Glory

Some say it sucks. I say it has Will Farrell.



Hector: "Hey, Jimmy"

Jimmy: "Hector? What are you doing here? You know I have a restraining order against you..."

Hector [laughing nervously]: "Oh that thing? [pauses]... You look great, Jimmy. You look amazing, and your hair rocks..."

Jimmy: "Thanks"

Hector: "You look so good... oh my gosh. Do you look at yourself? I totally want to cut off your skin and wear it to my birthday... it's coming up"

Jimmy: "Yeah, listen, it's good to see you Hector, but I'm really busy right now"

Hector: "I'm sorry, I'll cut to the chase. You've got to start skating again, Jimmy."

Jimmy: "What?"

Hector: "It's embarrassing stalking a has-been, you know what I mean? Look, I almost gave up on you. I started stalking that Ukrainian skater, you know, the one that looks like Elvis? I moved to the Ukraine. It was cold, and everyone had guns and smelled like soup."

Jimmy: "I sympathize with you Hector, I really do, but there's nothing I can do. I'm banned for life...."


You should see it. Preferably with me.

But I'd have to be quiet. And I'm not sure I could be, in a movie like that.

I am very tempted to watch it. It won't be another couple of months 'til they release a new edition of Mel Brooks' "Dracula: Dead and Loving it & Robin Hood: Men In Tights". I gotta have SOMETHING in the mean time?

Okay, let me explain something about the rules. I'm not an antisocial guy. I like talking to people, and I like it when people talk to me. But I really hate being rude, and that's the biggest reason that talking in theaters bothers me... it's for the people around me.

So if you're at my place and we're watching it, feel free. The only exception is in a really important movie, like Spinal Tap, I'll expect you to show the appropriate amount of reverence.

Caro, it's a good one. Maybe instead of band practice we should do a movie night some time...

That would be fun! I've never seen Spinal Tap and I'd really really love to. I also think it would help to watch this with all the MNB members so we can have some chill out time to discuss what needs to be discussed in a relaxed atmosphere afterwards. (=

Blades of Glory: let's do it. I haven't seen it yet and clearly need to.

Darryl said...

Sounds like time for a movie night. Watch this space, and get your sequins out of storage...

I LOVED IT! Their first routine was golden. I would gladly watch it with you. If you were to rent it I just might be able to afford the plane ticket.

Oh they never went away. Having lived with me, you should know that.

Darryl said...

Okay, ni, I'll let you know when it's on the schedule. And I don't have to rent it. ;-)

Nathan - missed you for the eurovision dance contest, my man...

I have to admit that my respect for you just dropped a notch... you may draw your own conclusions about the prior level.

Darryl said...

Well, that's an easy one, Anna:

Since it's such a great movie, the only way that liking BoG could cause your opinion of me to drop is if it was at a place previously where "down" was the only possible direction.

So, like everything else I hear, I'm going to take that as a compliment.
