"Maybe it was Utah."

Peggy Sue Got Married

I've seen this before, so no suprises here. I still like it. Cute, heart-warming, slightly edgy, a little wacky, and totally worth watching just for the hilarious nasally voice that Nic uses as Charlie! It totally makes the character. After watching it, we were certain that it was such a strange voice it must have been entirely his idea. And the next day I found out that we were right, when I read on Wikipedia that he told Conan O'Brien that he based the voice on Pokey from the Gumby show. Awesome! AND, Coppola and the studio were so unhappy with the voice, that they almost fired him! Double awesome!!

Raising Arizona

A classic. We had both seen this one sooo many times, but not in a while, and I'm happy to say that it totes held up all these years. I can't imagine anyone else as H.I., and the rest of the cast is stellar, right down to those cutesey-youtesy babies. Watching it brought back so many memories; this was one of my parents' favorite movies and growing up my family watched it a LOT. Funny to think of how scared of/disgusted by the "warthog from hell" i used to be, or how my brother and sister and I would snicker when Nathan Arizona says, (when the reporter asks if he has a message for the kidnappers) "Yeah, watch your butts."

So...what is the count now...7 days, 7 down? yikes, we need to get moving. Luckily the weekend is coming up...Moonstruck is sitting on my coffee table, the Boy in Blue is on the way from Netflix, and
hopefully whoever rented the Cotton Club has returned it to Vulcan so we can finally watch it (we had to skip it).
