it's like I have ESPN or something . . .
So there's this movie see, and it's called The Cutting Edge. It came out in 1992, it's about this figure skater who's impossible and shrewish and she gets paired up with a rowdy hockey player who's all washed up and rougish and of COURSE they fall in love AND win the olympics and it's CRAPTACULAR! Seriously, I love it.
Anyway, 2 years ago MGM decided to make a sequel (made-for-tv of course) about their daughter (a slightly shrewish figure skater who gets injured and then paired up with a laid-back, X Games playing inline skater and of COURSE they fall in love AND win the olympics.)
Well tonight was the TV premiere of The Cutting Edge 3. What's it about you ask? Well I'll tell you. It's about a MALE figure skater who inadvertently breaks his partner's leg and replaces her with a rowdy FEMALE hockey player. And guess what! They fall in love. And win the world championships. (Because, of course, 2008 is not a winter olympics year. See? Accuracy. Honestly. Reality)
In honor of the 3rd movie coming out, ABC Family showed ALL THREE movies in a row starting at 4PM today. And I realized that there is only one person in the world who would not only humor my insane desire to sit down and watch all three films, but would actually find the same odd enjoyment in them that I would. So Rachel Harrison and I were at her place (with her mom, who's an awesome lady) watching tv. Which is pretty much par for the course for us.
So to make a long story short, the absurd predictability of the movies resulted in us making up our own endings (involving mud slides, decapitation by ice skate, extra-marital homosexual affairs, broken hearts and shakespearean style death matches.) As the last movie was ending the main characters took the ice to skate their final routine, they professed their love to each other, and I said:
"Wouldn't it be FABULOUS if they skated to She's Like the Wind right now??"
And then . . .
IT HAPPENED. The opened chords of She's Like the Wind started, and my world was rocked. I'm psychic!
I think I should invest in a crystal ball.
