So the wife and I go to a flea market today. If you have never been to a flea market, well, don’t loose any sleep over it. At least 99% of everything there was nothing but garbage. Who the hell wants to buy used doll that is all dirty, has no eyes, hair almost all gone, and sells for a dime? Who the heck would want that? Or a small shelf that is made of pressboard, but is falling apart and cracked all over. The price? “Make a Offre†No, I did not type that incorrectly, that is how the hand written, taped on sign said. Offre.
There were a plethora of dirty, mildewed, smelly children’s cloths. For some reason, it was going for $3 – $5 a piece. I mean, this stuff was plain nasty. Then again, it is a FLEA market…
On another subject, I finally (like this was some major event) rented the Starsky and Hutch DVD yesterday. Still have not finished watching it. What a piece of crap this movie is. And is it only me, or is Ben Stiller in WAY too many movies? The only person this over exposed is Owen Wilson, who, of-by-the-way, is ALSO in this movie.
Who decided Ben and Owen get to be movie stars and get all the comedy parts? Did I miss a meeting or something? If we can vote to decide who becomes the leader of the United States of America, can’t we vote to decide who no longer gets to make more than one movie a decade? I think that should be a new rule. I vote for Wilson over Stiller, as Wilson is just plain not funny, is incapable of playing any part differently than the last (he plays the same character in those two Jackie Chan movies, Armageddon, this crappy movie, and every other film he has ever been in. He has NO acting ability!)
One the other hand, we also rented 13 going on 30. Hey, who knew Jennifer Garner could actually play another part that did not show her as a badass. (Alias and Daredevil) A fun movie, as long as you turn most of your brain off during it. I mean, I grew up in the 80’s. In this movie, as a 13 year-old, she likes Rick Springfield. Okay, if she is 13, jumps up to 30 this year, that would have made her 13 in 1987. NO ONE liked Rick Springfield in 1987. In fact, everyone HATED him by 1987! And NO ONE at age 13 in 1987 would have been dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. NO ONE. That was a VERY early 1980’s hit, and by ’87, it had become a JOKE. (Spoilers next, boys and girls…) And then, at the end, the boyfriend who she dissed all those years ago STILL has the dream house he made her SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO, in his closet as an adult?!? Yeah, right…
As I said, if you can turn off the logical parts of your brain, this is a fun movie. Like a retarded girl version of Tom Hank’s Big, only she moves into the future her, while Tom simple gets Big in present time. Anyway…
So what IS a good movie to rent? HellBoy, by friends, HELLBOY!
