Flashback
I saw Mars Attacks in the movie theater with a few friends back when it first came out. Yeah, I can hear a lot of you saying "Oh, I'm so sorry." I loved it. It was perfectly campy. I actively looked for a pair of green and orange skeletons to hang from my keychain. "Ack ack ack" still makes me smile.
When the scene in the Vegas show came on with Tom Jones singing, I fake screamed in the movie theater. My friends, both younger guys, looked at me strangely. "It's Tom Jones," I said and started pulling at my clothes. "I need to throw my underwear at the screen!" Complete incomprehension. "Who's Tom Jones?" they asked. I deflated. "When you guys get home, you need to call your moms..."
Mars Attacks was just on cable. I'm tired and should be in bed but I just had to wait to see Tom Jones...
