Nov. 25th, 2003 01:33 pmI've missed Everwood for the past two weeks and I'm okay with that. It means that I haven't had to fry my eyeballs watching Ephram/Madison. Puke. I'll just keep an eye on the recaplets at TWoP, so I'll know when Madison goes away and I can start watching again.
I haven't been watching much TV at all, actually. I keep up with The Daily Show, and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and I watch Roseanne when my schedule permits it, but that's about it. I got so busy at night watching movies or reading that I forget all about what's on until it's too late. That's okay, though, as the shows I used to watch avidly are going through rough spots or just plain showing their age.
And now for a random quiz result:
You're George McFly!
Take the Which Person from Back to the Future Are You? Quiz
Also try my other quizzes.
Ha. I am not shy around girls - although if I were a boy, I might be, I suppose. The rest of it seems all right, though.
Yeah, so I've spent the past week or two checking out what Crispin Glover movies I can find at Movie Gallery. He's done a lot of more obscure indie flicks, so I'll have to wait on those, 'cos Movie Gallery is more the equivalent of a Top Forty station that occasionally accidentally plays a song by a lesser-known artist. I didn't realize he'd been in Back to the Future; I've seen it before - it was quite popular in my house because Mom and Chels both liked it, but I never paid much attention to it, so I didn't recognize Glover when I saw him in other stuff. In fact, when I stuck it in the VCR last week (the tape I rented is so ancient that I wonder if it didn't come back from 1955), I realized that I'd never even watched the whole thing. It was fun. Then I watched the other two movies for completeness's sake, and was surprised to find that Glover didn't do them. (I love when I'm shocked by things the entire world has already known for like a decade and a half.) I've spent the hour or so since I started this entry researching the reasons why, which is how I found that quiz. And the answer is: Nobody knows. While just about everyone seems to agree that it was definitely his decision, I've also run across rumours that he was dropped for being too demanding, or because of mental/emotional instability. So, whatever. It's just another element of the Glover Mystique.
. . . have you figured out yet that this is becoming an infatuation on par with those for Willem and Kenneth? I'll be on a one-way first name basis with him any second now.
It is, however, a shame that it precluded any opportunity for a nice moment between Marty and George at the end of Part III. After all the angst of George's death in the alternate timeline in Part II, you'd think that Marty would be delighted to see his father again. I've half a mind to write it myself. Of course, since Part III was so thoroughly disappointing in every other aspect, why not here as well?
It's taken no time at all to go through the good (BTTF, Nurse Betty) and halfway decent (What's Eating Gilbert Grape) Glover flicks that Movie Gallery has - I've already been reduced to rewatching the Charlie's Angels movies, and while they're fun and the Thin Man is an absolute scream, I think my IQ is a point or two lower than it was a week ago. Soon I'll have to abandon all my movie-watching principles and rent Like Mike, and, man, the only genre I hate more than the inspiring sports movie is the inspiring sports movie with kids in. *sigh* Maybe it'll turn out like Body of Evidence - I did not want to watch that at all, but it became one of my favourite terrible movies.
And after the holidays, I am totally taking myself to Amazon and buying used copies of some of those indie films.
