JOHN HUGHES 2012

I watched "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" for the 4th time the other night.
It was on TV again.
This movie gets my vote as truly worthy of this blogs love.
Michael Cera is my boy.
I adore Michael Cera and my heart simply melts when I see him.
Not in a Cougar way, by any stretch of the word, but in a motherly way.
Michael Cera reminds me of my older son, when he was younger, in those fleeting moments when he was not being an ass.
How can the bloggers of Lies John Hughes Told Me not love this movie?
I was hooked the moment Nick O'Leary's (Michael Cera) cell phone rang with The Cure as his ringtone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICK

Today is Mick Jagger's 69th birthday.
The Ol' Devil's age is even dirty ;)
This year The Rolling Stones celebrate 50 years as Rockstars.
I love The Rolling Stones but I LOVE Mick Jagger.
I have LOVED Mick Jagger since I was 6 years old.
Not this Mick Jagger -

THIS Mick Jagger -

and yes, I am aware I have issues....and yes, I am aware that he is adrogenous....and yes, I am aware that he behaves badly....and yes, I am aware that he has a criminal record....and yes, I am aware that he is a woman/man -izer....and yes, I do not care.
I LOVE Mick Jagger.

JULY AND KATIE HOLMES

I am not a true fan of the month of July and I am not usually a fan of Katie Holmes.
But what do these two things have in common?
To me, July is a month of frantic behaviour.
People cram everything and anything, at lightning speed, in to the month of July.
Katie Holmes did the same with her divorce from Tom.

I am a big advocate for pulling the plug without drama.
I would'nt have thought she had it in her but Katie has done exactly that.
Hats off to her.
She came, she saw, she conquered...now... if only... she would go off in to the sunset.
Sadly, I think we will only see more of her now.

I HEAR THE CLOCK TICK AND I THINK OF YOU

Honestly -- what could make me happier than Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper? 

Pretty much nothing.

A few of my fav lines.....

Then you say go slow, I fall behind.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me.

If you fall I will catch you.  I will be waiting.

The drum beats out of time.

Time after time.


SERIOUSLY.  How awesome is this song?

I know that Libby will weigh in with her love of Cyndi...

Just in case you are wiki-nut like me..... here is the wiki link on the song....

THE PARAMOUNT PICTURE

To celebrate 100 years of Paramount Pictures, Vanity Fair has gathered 116 of "someone's choice?" of Hollywood's finest.
Left side, at the right of the staircase, Molly Ringwald and Jon Cryer side by side.
That makes this blog happy.

I GUESS I JUST DON'T GET IT, NEVER HAVE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL.

Bret Michaels???
I just do not get his appeal.
And POISON???
WTF???
This is not a topic I plan on reading up on, in effort to discover what I am missing.

IT'S ALL IN THE COMMENTS SECTION PARKER

The following is my favorite comment from this article on Madge-Ho.
Madonna is the Norma Desmond of the singing world.
“Mr. Demille, I’m Ready for My Close-Up.”
“Oh, wake up, Norma, you'd be killing yourself to an empty house. The audience left twenty years ago.”

The list of other comments are equally as sharp, somewhat crude but IMO right on the money.
