So I can't sleep... nothing new there.
As I'm trying to fight off consciousness and get at least a few hours of sleep, I notice that TNT has a sort of ghetto 80's mini-marathon on. The first flick was one I'd never seen before, called Career Opportunities, and it is, quite simply, the single worst John Hughes movie ever made. It's like a poor man Ferris Bueler. It's that bad. Frank Whaley, the lead actor in it is terrible and butchered every joke the movie had.
The movie did have on saving grace however.
Yes, that's right.
Jennifer Connelly.
The single most gorgeous woman in Hollywood. And this isn't the refined, classically beautiful Jennifer we have now, who's very very thin, and has lost some of her... buxomness, shall we say. (although I think she's hotter now)
This is the young, strapping Jenn, busting out of her wife beater, in all her cleavage-y glory. There's a scene where she's riding a mechanical pony to distract to robbers. Watching this scene I slipped into a trance and came out of it ten minutes later, and the bed was wet.... curious.
This movie strangely captivated me, even though as I was watching it I realized how truly awful it is. Once again, another movie that falls under my "better with Jason Lee" catagory. This movie would have been made infinitely more enjoyable, had Jason Lee, Brodie-man extroadinare, been cast in the lead. C'est la vis. It was still worth the two hours or so of insomnia. Plus it had Joe and Steve-O in it as the two bumbling robbers:
Joe and Steve in their movie debut:
And then after that, I was ready to toss it in, get up, grab a shower and proceed with my day. But all of a sudden I heard the song "And Then He Kissed Me" come blasting out through the television and I immediately knew what that meant.
That's right.
Adventures in Babysitting.
Elizabeth Shue at her hottest.
Not even the Mighty Thor can say something bad about this film.
Alright, that's enough for this rant.
Peace.
