I’m going to talk about movies again because honestly, there is nothing going on in my life. Unless you want to hear about my humorous attempts to teach myself PHP and MySQL? No? Really? Movies it is then.
I recently saw The Blues Brothers for the first time. I know, I know. I’ve also never seen Grease. And I don’t intend to. It may be unfair to condemn the early works of John Travolta because of his later sins, but you know what? Life isn’t fair. And you know what else? Paying someone to exorcise your body of the souls of dead space aliens? Is an episode of The X-Files. NOT A RELIGION.
Moving on. The Blues Brothers: awesome! Hilarious and awesome! So awesome that I devised a drinking game to enhance its awesomeness.
1. Every time Dan Aykroyd says, “We’re on a mission from God”, drink.
2. Every time someone ridiculously famous does a cameo, drink.
3. Every time a cop car is involved in a pileup and/or rolls over, drink.
4. Every time Dan Aykroyd looks strangely like a monkey, drink.*
*SiC pointed this out. Seriously, watch for it - it's uncanny.
And for a touch of the surreal, here are the results that Amazon came up with when I did a search for The Anarchist Cookbook out of curiosity:
Nigella Express, by Nigella Lawson
Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life, by Jamie Oliver
The Ghost, by Robert Harris
Huh.
