(no subject)
I've decided after watching the "The Matador" and "The 40 Year Old Virgin" in the past two days, if I ever become ruler of the entire world, I will only have one law that I would enforce with an iron fist.
The law would be as follows:
Every single movie ever made, past and present, would have to have Asia's "Heat of the Moment" somehow used in it. I'm not kidding. Movie studios would have to dub the song into every movie in their library. Can you imagine having that song play over the "Here's looking at you kid" line in "Casablanca"? It would magnify the emotions about a thousand fold. Or how about the scene in "Brokeback Mountain" where Heath Legder visits the parents. Drop the guitar score, add in Asia, and I guarantee you that movie takes best picture last year at the Oscars.
Not only does the song add emotional dimension to the film, but it has other another advantage as well. Say I'm sitting there, and watching an absolute disaster of a film. It is the most wretched film in the history of humankind. But I can take comfort in knowing that eventually, despite the absolute horrors of this disgustingly miserable piece of entertainment, that there will be one good thing about it: Asia's "Heat of the Moment." And you know what? Maybe that makes the movie a little better, because certain songs have the ability to move us. Certain songs have the ability to make us look inward, really examine ourselves. When Asia crafted "Heat of the Moment," not only was the world of music changed, but the fabric of man kind itself was actually altered.
