I can honestly say I've never watched this dreck, but have only seen the previews. Having seen many government sanctioned CBC programs, I only have this to say...lame, lame, lame. Just the 30 second commercials make me simultaneously cringe and roll my eyes - I can't imagine what kind of reaction I would experience if I were to force myself to watch an entire episode! One thing that I have noticed is that the local Christian minister is played as a stereotypical, obnoxious, bigoted cartoon character. I don't really understand how this crap is entertaining, but then I've seen who they consider "Canada's favorite funnyman" (even has his own show) - and he's about as funny as a kick in the crotch with a golf shoe.

I actually felt like I had lost a member of my family yesterday when I found out Leslie had passed! I would always get excited for a movie when I found out he was in it, no matter how stupid it sounded. One of my favorite later roles of his was in Scary Movie 3 - I actually screamed with glee when he opened the door and said "I just want to tell you both, good luck - we're all counting on you!" Of course, I think I was probably the only one in the theater that night who was old enough to have gotten it...but that's neither here nor there... Rest in peace, Leslie...may no one call you Shirley, wherever you may be.

My dad and I were talking recently about the places we wanted to visit, and of course Austria was one of them. My dad is a skiing fanatic, so I think my mum and I would just sit in a warm cozy lodge while he tackled the Alps! One of my favorite parts of TSOM is during the opening credits and the "intermission" when it shows the different locales around Salzberg...absolutely breathtaking! And I always get a little misty when the camera pans across the mountainside and Julie starts twirling and singing. I am so bummed that I missed the Oprah episode with the cast! Maybe I could check Hulu...

I often sing along to "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" when I'm at work...my co-workers are not amused when I dance along too...when I jump up on the chairs and do the high kicking, they all run for cover!

"The Sound of Music" has always been a favorite of mine and my dad's - he had bought the soundtrack album in Italy when he was in the service, and at the age of 4 I "borrowed" it from him (nope, he never got it back). We try to watch the movie at least once a year, usually around Christmastime. But, for a little pick-me-up, it always works like a charm! I laugh, I cry, I sing along to all the songs, and then I don't feel so bad! (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

I'll be the first to admit it -- I didn't sleep a wink that night! However, I bought a used DVD of the movie and watch it every once in a while (after turning the phone off, of course). I believe that one steely gray and rainy day, I was alone watching it and forgot to turn the phone off, and the damn thing rang as the movie ended...hell yeah, I jumped! Might have peed a little too, but that's neither here nor there...

Even before that, I was brought to tears by the haunting score. I believe the teacher still shows this movie to his class every year. This is one movie that I think everyone should watch. Now I'm going to have to watch it again!

He has always been money in my book - especially with the Marshall Plan retort. For once a Left Coast celeb can put his money where his mouth is! God bless you Vince, and God bless our brave troops!

My brother served in the Marines from '90 to '94, but never saw combat, thank God. Even so, I was always so happy and even relieved when he was able to make it home on leave. I'll never forget the Christmas when we didn't think he would make it home...I got home from school one day and he leapt out of the living room to surprise me! May God bless and protect our troops, and may God continue to bless America!

I love the fact that you have "handstand pics" - your own unique "new city" signature :) Will we be seeing "Victoria's Handstands Through The Years" anytime soon? That would be cool to see! Mon, 16 Aug 2010 05:27:51 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/vjackson/2010/08/15/i-met-arizona-quang/#IDComment93403861 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2010/08/12/the-greatest-movie-summer-of-my-life/#IDComment92838488 I've never been fortunate enough to see a movie at the drive-in, but legend has it that my mom went to see "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" - the original - at the drive-in. Unfortunately she couldn't find a babysitter and had to take my then 3 year old brother with her, who proceeded to scream the whole time! Strangely enough, he still is afraid of loud noises...

I didn't get to see it until the next year, after my mother relented (she fast-forwarded through the cussing). Now I'm 34-going-on-80 (according to those who know me) and this movie is still in my top 10 - between the cast, the story and the music, it is hard to beat. It's true, what Gordie says at the end - sometimes friends can come in and out of your life, like busboys in a restaurant - but I'm proud to say that I keep in touch with most of the friends I had when I was a tween! For some reason, though, every time I see Keifer Sutherland, I picture him as Ace, moving the toothpick from one side of his mouth to the other in the scene where he's playing chicken with the truck...he was and still is bad-ass!

I first saw it when I was about 12, and have been hooked ever since. Every once in a while, even today, I randomly quote from it (usually the Inigo Montoya line). And everytime I say goodbye to my big brother, I always say, "Have fun storming the castle!"

Not only was he Keith Moon's godson, Keith taught him how to play. Just sayin'...
