And I owe it all to you
Someday, for old times' sake, Kat and I need to watch the second disc of Dirty Dancing with all the bonus features. There was a period during our second year of college where I think we watched that movie every week for an entire semester.
And I think that this (right now) is the first time since then that I've watched it. Seriously. I'd forgotten how hot this movie is. And since my mother reads this, I'm not going to tell you all about the first time I watched this movie. Let's just say that the least likely person (okay, maybe not quite the least likely, but pretty close) introduced me to it well before I could appreciate it.
Kelly Bishop and Jerry Orbach are amazing. And, in another Gilmore Girls connection (Kelly Bishop being the first one), did you know that Kenny Ortega, the choreographer for Dirty Dancing has directed several (8, actually) episodes of Gilmore Girls? Well, he has.
Has anyone seen High School Musical (speaking of Kenny Ortega... he also directed that)? Apparently it's the latest kids/tween craze. Allison and Brian's kids love it, and have memorized the entire thing--it's like the kids' version of Grease. All the fun numbers and putting school life to music, minus all the parts that make Grease wildly inappropriate for an elementary-school audience. Apparently, it's very good, and Brian and Ryan keep teasing me that I need to see it. Maybe I should netflix it. But back to my original question--has anyone seen it? Is it any good?
Finding Neverland came in the mail today. Man, I love that movie.
Patrick Swayze circa 1987 reminds me of Patrick Wilson circa 2006. Just thought I'd share.
I really wasn't planning to write an entire media-based entry today, but I got inspired earlier, and out came 2 1/2 chapters of my latest story, so I'm tapped out right now.

Raoul Patrick Wilson?
That's the one. But maybe not looking like Raoul. Looking like himself.
I don't think I like your blog. At least, it doesn't like it when I send a comment. I tried to comment this morning, but obviously, it didn't "take." Now, can I remember what I said?
Strangely enough, I saw the last 1/3 or 1/4 of that movie in my hotel in Edmonton this weekend (on Family Channel, probably) -- not enough to give you a review of it, but enough that I found it interesting enough that I think I would like to see the whole thing. It's freaky that you would ask about that right now -- I'd never even heard of it before. Besides, my reviews wouldn't nearly come up to your kind of/standard of review.
I can't remember now what else I said, except to look for an e-mail from me. Did you get that, at least?
