Fun with movies and a little bit of an update

[calumfan]

Happy April 1st everyone.

I’m not much of an April Fools prankster so you don’t have to worry about any misinformation from me. I’ve seen enough misleading articles being passed around the internet already today that I have no desire to pull a fast one on anyone :)

1) I’m still recovering from my weekend out of town. We had a lot of fun. I had prepared myself to write an entire LJ entry regarding it and as soon as I went to type it up, the words just failed to burst forth. Hopefully tonight I will do better, plus I have plenty of pics and videos to share (If you’re interested in that type of thing)

2) I will be heading up to Target on my lunch break today to purchase my copy of Sweeney Todd. I’m so excited. I wasn’t able to view this movie in the theatre because my Hubby wouldn’t go because A) It’s a musical and B) He couldn’t deal with my squeeage over Judge Turpin.

3) While at Universal’s Islands of Adventure I checked out the construction on the new Harry Potter theme park, “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”. It seems to be coming along rather nicely. The ground has been prepared and construction has begun. They have the area hidden pretty well so I only have a couple pictures and a video that I will post later this evening along with a more detailed description.

4) I am so happy, only 11 more days until I fly up to New Jersey to meet Lindsey/ bonorattle I’m pretty sure NJ will never be the same after this.

5) So we’re sitting here talking about obscure/non-popular 80’s movies. Here’s a list of some of them, see how many you’ve seen!

-The Wraith
-Night of the Comet
-Saturday the 14th
-Hiding Out
-My Best Friend is a Vampire
-Ghoulies
-Fright Night
-Vamp
-Clue
-Space Camp
-Killer Clowns from Outer Space
-All of Me
-The Incredible Shrinking Woman
-Uncle Buck
-The Great Outdoors
-Under the Rainbow
-Seems Like Old Times
-Overboard
-Cloak and Dagger
-The Monster Squad

I'm popping into my local video store to rent the movie tonight. I was thinking of buying it but I always prefer, if the option is available, to first rent the movie then buy it if I like it. I can't wait to see Alan singing!

I've seen a handful of those movies - Killer Clowns From Outer Space, Uncle Buck, Clue (which was SO funny!!!) and of course, My Best Friend Is A Vampire which I had no clue RSL was in it. I saw it such a long time ago on Comedy Central. I need to check that one out again.

Do you remember My Boyfriend's Back From the Dead? Was that 80's or 90's?

I couldn't help myself, i had to buy it. It was on sale for $16.99 at Target. My husband is going to roll his eyes when he walks in the door but I don't care.

My Best Friend is a Vampire is the reason I started watching House, I've crushed on RSL since i was a child.

"My Boyfriends Back" yeah I remember that movie. My friend one tickets to the opening of it at the movie theatre, she got a poster.

You have to see My BEst Friend is a Vampire, it has a VERY young Robert Sean Leonard in it. And you DO NOT suck!

Labyrinth, man! Add THAT to the list? And when you watch it, don't forget to look for the crotch shot of David Bowie's bulge. And this was supposed to be a kids movie? LOL!

I've never watched all of that movie. I need to add it to my list

Are you nervous about meeting Linds? I'm mean probably not but I know there's some LJ people I'm really close to and that I would LOVE to meet but I'm scared..

OMG I REMEMBER THE KILLER CLOWNS!! WITH POPCORN RIGHT? OH AND THE MOVIE WHERE THE DOLLS GROWN ENORMOUSLY?

[housencam.livejournal.com]

Killer Clowns from outer space was fab. I adored that movie, and still get freaked over popcorn (under the right circumstances)

Overboard? OK, that movie is true love.

I live in the Orlando area, and from what I've been seeing the new phase of Universal is going very, very fast. They have to keep up with Sea World's pace of opening Aquatica.
