Micah 6:8
Matthew 2:10
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
I was just thinking of how many fun movies I've watched over the years, and how many of them I haven't seen in far too long. So, rather than waste a day or two watching fun, but generally dumb, movies, I thought I'd throw up a list of a few here - ones I'm likely to pull out and watch again in the next few days - to see if anyone might leave a comment about them, or suggesting others I should add to the queue.
In no particular order, and in a not-remotely-exhaustive way, here are some movies I'm hoping to watch again in the very near future:
- Mystery Men
- Flight of the Navigator
- Rustler's Rhapsody
- Adventures in Babysitting
- The Three Amigos
What do they all have in common? They're all joyfully nonsensical. They know they're movies (and not "films") and that they're just for entertainment. They don't demand much of the viewer, nor do they promise all that much - but they do deliver what we all want when we watch a movie: Entertainment. Oh, and memorable, quotable lines:
"Compliance."
"I'm a lawyer, you idiot!"
"Get out of my house!"
"I'm still with you, El Guapo!"
Break out the DVDs and join in, folks!
By the way, this is day 440 of the plague so I ought to mention that's the frequency of A for modern musical instrument tuning - 440Hz = A. Now you know. (It used to be lower, that's why some baroque pieces seem too high - they are when we use our modern tuning. Trust me, I know - I sing tenor.)
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
