I've always hated when watching a movie a really awesome oldie comes on and you think to yourself "man I know I've heard this a thousand times" but you can't put your finger on what the song is called or who it's even by. I don't know about anyone else but there are times where I'll just sit there and not pay attention to any of the dialogue that is going on and concentrate solely on the track that just played. Not really sure if I would consider it a pet peeve, but it becomes an annoyance when I have it on the tip of my tongue. I was watching Space Jam (classic film, should have gotten an Oscar or 7) over this past weekend and this problem occurred. During the opening credits of the film, the song "Pump Up The Jam" plays. It wasn't very difficult to figure out the title of the song due to the fact that the chorus says it like 300 different times but I had absolutely no idea who it was by. I was so bugged by this fact that I skipped all the way to the end of the movie just to see the song list. TECHNOTRONIC.....and now i know haha. In all honesty though, the Space Jam soundtrack was the first CD I ever bought so this one kind of hit home for me. You can't tell me that you wouldn't purchase a compact disk of this caliber. I mean Bugs and Jordan on the same cover...done deal.
I also watched Bridesmaids this past weekend. I know weird combination of film choice, but I love comedies. And guys this is not a chick flick. Its extremely funny and if you haven't seen it I suggest you take a look. Melissa McCarthy who plays the character Megan is hysterical and she is also from Illinois. But getting back on track, this movie unleashes one of 1990s super groups...yes Wilson Phillips had skills. I just found it somewhat amazing that after 21 years of its original release, the song "Hold On" made it into one of last year's biggest hits. I guess it goes to show that music really is timeless. After seeing the movie I will admit that I most certainly Youtube'd the music video and found it to be absolutely hilarious. Ladies, if we ever cross paths and you smell like the mountains wearing one of these get-ups, I might drop down on one knee and pop the question.
Space Jam is truly an epic movie. Sadly, I believe the movie might lose its popularity among anyone under 15 or so as the players and cartoons become less relevant. Space Jam has the great mix of old school basketball stars and the best cartoons from Saturday morning.
Space Jam was my favorite movie growing up. I watched it so many times that my parents "lost" the vhs. They eventually gave it back after I bugged the hell out of them for 2 weeks. Bridesmaids was such a funny movie and I'm glad there is someone else who doesn't think its a chick flick.
I totally couldn't get into Brides Maids. I *did* get to the move 5 minutes late... do you think that made the difference? And OMG thanks for getting Wilson Phillips stuck in my head. I'm sure everyone in my house will thank you in about 10 minutes. haha
