324: Most triumphant movie-watching.

Sadly, GTA San Andreas was nowhere to be found. Regardless, Pete and I spent the weekend rotting our minds with an xbox and successfully avoiding the heat. When we weren't button-mashing, we were movie-watching. Duh, have we met? Here's what we saw...

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
I'm certainly not the kind of person to forgo watching a movie simply because I've seen it three million times before, especially not when it's combining two of my favorite things -- Pee-Wee Herman and Tim Burton.

I know, how predictable, a Goth girl who likes Tim Burton. Well, I'm not toting my makeup around in a coffin-shaped Nightmare Before Christmas lunchbox, son. So what if I spent Saturday playing Soul Calibur II on mute so I could bust pixilated skulls while listening to the Sisters of Mercy? There's no law against that! It's not a crime to be AWESOME! I'm no Mall Goth. Just look at the shoes I'm wearing. These aren't New Rocks! These are GORGEOUS little pointed heels, so exquisite, so completely painful -- even more painful for you because I will be obliged to kick your shins until you recognize who's got incredible taste.

And on that note -- I love Pee-Wee Herman. Love, love, LOVE!

The Wedding Singer
Just as I've watched Pee-Wee's Big Adventure three million times, I've seen this movie approximately twelve million times. And I still love it. Don't judge. YOU CAN'T TALK TO BILLY IDOL LIKE THAT!

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
I'd estimate that I've seen this movie about eight million times. FJ (who, incidentally, has beaten GTA San Andreas) knows that I support Keanu Reeves 100% in anything he does. Well, perhaps not in Dogstar, but you know what I mean. This movie is proof that Keanu Reeves is much smarter than anyone gives him credit for being. His timing is perfect. And in any event, he's my best-friend-forever... even if we haven't yet met. Just as I was put on this earth to destroy Catherine Zeta-Jones Terminator 2-style, I am cosmically linked to Keanu Reeves through the bonds of a most excellent friendship. Don't question it!

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Better than I expected it to be. A little long, a little repetitive, but otherwise completely enjoyable. What if this had been edited down by 20-30 minutes and cast differently? What if Mr. Smith were played by someone less likable and goofy? Someone like Christian Slater, for example. The movie would be completely different and completely AWESOME. Less goofiness, more venom -- that's what I always say, well, except where it involves Keanu.
