The Movie I want to see: 500 Days of Summer

| Viciously Sweet

This is the movie I want to see this summer.

The first time I saw this trailer. I initially thought, “Summer is evil”. How can she do this to poor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He’s the small lad from “10 things I hate about you” who “Pined and Perished” for Bianca Stratford.

And then I realized I can totally relate to Summer. Things do happen and then you should cut your losses and go on. We are young, and I am not a marm. If things suck, staying will only make things worse. And I know I may regret saying this someday, but screw it. That is how I feel right now.

And a story about love seems better than a love story.

Also I love how they filmed in LA and didn’t make it a joke. I actually do love Los Angeles and once you get off of Hollywood Blvd. we are real people. We have bikes, and dogs, and 78% of us even have souls. Just like the rest of the world. We may not have the most structurally lush skyline like most major cities, but we have our funky good times.

And we have awesome food, music, and vintage clothing stores.

Also this made me laugh because it sounds like Jimmy and I talking… this is what we talk about. Just in case you ever wondered.

Benny & Joon

| Viciously Sweet

Hulu.com posted this movie.. I suppose to show people the Johnny Depp has been in more than movies about Pirates.

In this awesome early 1990’s movie Johnny Depp plays an eccentric man who falls in love with Joon a mentally ill girl. This is like his first incredibly fascinating role… not dissing 21 Jump Street, or Nightmare on Elm Street. But Sam (Depp’s Character) is quite hilarious and brilliant, also he has that Charlie Chaplin thaaang going on.

This is also one of my favorite movies (note: I did not get it at Best Buy, it’s probably too old for them to sell)

favorite line “Some cultures are defined by their relationship to cheese.”

Here’s Johnny’s relationship to cheese:

Happy July time

Not News tonight at 11

| Viciously Sweet

I cannot stand media outlets that report news… because it’s never really news…. ahem TMZ, and every other “entertainment this hour” shows that plague my tv!!!

For Example: Anthony Kiedis going grocery shopping qualifies as not news. Please don’t have this as a headline event. He eats food. And it is not delivered by Dave Navarro every day of the week.

I mean Anthony Kiedis is exceptionally awesome… but I don’t need to know if he buys skim milk, and febreeze. Especially since he doesn’t follow me around the market snickering at my fruitcups and granola bars.

Let the peep’s shop in peace.

That I think is my public service announcement for the week.

He likes Your Moves

| Viciously Sweet

Okay as well known as I could possibly make this…. I love the Cure,  I adore them so much I could use a “♥”. Actually one of my dreams has always been to meet Robert Smith… he’s the definition of cool to me!

I must also say that I cannot stop listening to The Black Kids, they have this song that sounds so much like the Cure the first time I heard it I felt the joy of Robert Smith.

Apparently not everyone digs their sound because they sound too much like the Cure… but in my opinion sounding like the Cure can never be wrong!!!!!

And the music video could not be any more awesome. If at all possible they combined the Cure and Marie Antoinette together… (yeah more that just the soundtrack!!!)

here’s some clips from the video that state my case  :)

looks like Marie Antoinette by Sophia Coppala….

also it looks like the video for boys don’t cry

I could just pass out due to my obscene happiness!!!!

A Public Service Announcement

| Viciously Sweet

Remember Smokey the bear… and how he disapproved of the Forest blazing? Well if there were updated commercials she would say “you could also prevent Shia Labeouf.”

Please say no to Shia LeBeefcake!

Although Eric can’t pull himself away from this mans movies… there is still a choice, and there is still hope.

Hey there Old Lady…

| Viciously Sweet

So last night I made a run to Best Buy (the only music store around here)… to buy Michael John’s new CD which, btw is totally delicious. If this Album were released in the 1980’s it would be a classic by now. Hopefully it does well because this guy’s has a stellar voice.

Relishing in the fact I picked up the last CD they had there I cavorted my merry bootie down the isles of the movies to see if there were any magical films I must own.

“While you were Sleeping” for $6, which is one of my favorite  movies… mine.

And every Devon Sawa movie for $5…. I’ll be back later for “Idle hands” and “Slackers”:)

and Slackers even has Big Pete from Pete and Pete
and "Slackers even has Big Pete from "Pete and Pete"

 It has this very Pete:

On a non Pete and Pete related story they also they had movies with special packaging that said the perfect gift for mom. Ex. “Amelie” and “Say Anything”

so..... this is what moms like?
so..... this is what mom's like?

I only had this to say “I love those movies… but have no children” thanks for making me feel wicked old once again Best Buy.

I didn’t even have to ask a question to your staff this time to leave feeling like an old lady.
