Hey...
None of you took the time to add my good buddy ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cmdavi_70 even though i told you how great he is. So I guess you don't have enough information. He is AWESOME, and he is my old boyfriend from college and we're say...12 years into the whole "lets just be freinds" thing. Because if you are a mature adult, you can be friends with your exes if they are not complete tools. Ever find that?
Anyway, Dave is an excellent writer and has a great deal of interesting life expereince. He has similar taste in films to mine, but much mor eclectic tastes in music. My own taste in music is pretty average and run of the mill in case you hadn't noticed; while my taste in movies is snobby and stubborn. He works with kids and is pretty sexy.
I do know enough about music, however, to know that this is sad news for guitarists everywhere:
String maker for "God" dies in California
Jaws 3 is on TV right now, the one in 3D. And man...is it ever terrible.
The reason Jaws was a good movie is not just because of the big, scary shark that does things no shark would EVER do. It is compelling because you have enough background information on the characters to make you care a great deal about them. Quint is like that Ahab guy with his whale, which is why he has to die by it. And Hooper is not having an affair with Brody's wife (as per the novel) so we get to like him too. And a island sherriff afraid of the water? Le mou jouste! People have been trying to copy Jaws and I daresay The Italians did the most hilarious job. I love this rip-off with Vic Morrow as "Quint" and James Fransiscus as "Brody".
Plus, you know...Jaws manages to be genuinly scary with a PG rating and no swears. This is particularly evident in the scene where Quint smashes the radio, thereby dooming the crew. Brody reads him the riot act (aka, gives him the what-for) with no swears at all...yet in a completely convincing way. Plus I love that scene where Quint smashes the beer can and then Hooper drinks out of the styrofoam cup and smashes it making that mean face. Classic.
Now I'm off to bake. I'm trying a new Sweet Oatmeal bread for the party. But in case it sucks, I'm also making a yellow butter cake with chocolate frosting out of a can. So if that sucks, you can blame Duncan Hines, not me.
