There's two movies that American girls can't shut up about, as two men they will forever (openly) fantasize about
'Dirty Dancing' (with Patrick Swayze) and Labyrinth (with the dude with the crazy hair).
That's what I told Hui. She'd never seen either of these, so tonight we started with Dirty Dancing.
Last week, we saw 'Citizen Kane' which had a 100% approval rating from 'Rotten Tomatoes' which aggregates movie reviews from the most widely known critics in the world. i.e. the likes of Siskel and Ebert. I refuse to say 'Siskel and Ropert', because... who the hell is Ropert? I grew up with Ebert, thank you very much. Well Citizen Kane had a 100% review rating, and the movie totally sucked balls. It represents what's wrong with artsy movies, as do directors like Stanley Kubrick. We recently saw this movie called, 'Sleeping Beauty', and it also sucked balls, and I was convinced I'd see 'Stanly Kubrick' in the credits, so I watched the credits and finally googled it. Don't watch either of these movies expecting that they'll get good later, they don't. 'Sleeping Beauty' had a 50% rating, when it should have been something TERRIBLE like a 10%.
From now on, I'm just going to watch movies according to what girls consider to be unforgettable and just can't shut up about.
So tomorrow, we're going to watch Labyrinth with David Bowie!
