Nobody would surrender to the dread pirate Wesley
I spent most of yesterday watching movies. Sam and I went out and got a bday present for one of her classmates. By the way I hate the whole kid bday party thing. I don't mind the celebration, cake is good. Ice cream? Well I'm really cutting back on cholesterol so I skipped that part on Saturday (shout outs to Alex for a great BBQ), but the whole buy a gift and get a goody bag. Is it me or is it true that nothing really good comes in a goody bag? I mean OK the last time I got one it had dental floss in it. OK so it came from the dentist's office. I digress.
While in Fred Meyer (Which for those of you in the east is really just a big ass Krogers/K-Mart mixed together.) we picked up a copy of holes.
It's a great book and good movie. If you haven't read or seen it, I suggest watching the movie first and then reading the book. The book is always better. Always.
I also watched the princess bride. Twice We have the new fancy ass Dread Pirate Roberts edition. We had bought the regular DVD on sale for like $4 at best buy, but it didn't work. So we had to take it back. At least they credited us with the $4 when we bought the $20 Dread Pirate Roberts edition. There is another buttercup version, and we had a vote and Sam lost (hey it's 2 boys and poor Sam...) so we got the Dread Pirate Roberts version. The only difference as far as I can tell, but I haven't popped in disk 2 yet.
I watched it again after they went to bed. I listened to the director's commentary by Meathead. Sorry, I know I watched way too much All in the Family as a child. He will always be Meathead to me. (Luckily I think that's the only thing that rubbed off on me from Archie! Whew.) It was pleasant and enjoyable some directors do not have what it takes to deliver a commentary and not sound like an a-hole. I'm sure that's because they are in fact a-holes, but who am I to judge. I've never taken 17 Million dollars and turned it into anything. Let alone the most quoted movie ever made.
OK off to the fire swamp now...
