since i'm at home alone a little more this fall
i have decided to watch all of my chick flicks in semi-alphabetical/numerical order
they are already organized that way...
don't laugh, it makes it much easier to find meg & tom & jennifer & zac!
i have to take a quick second to tell you that we organize our dvds in books
so we don't have shelves & shelves of dvd cases...
the ones we use are by case logic & i love them!
they have a spot for the dvd cover on the front of the page & a place for the dvd on the back,
super easy to flip through...
we have our books arranged by genre/who watches them:
chick flicks
action, vampires & zombies
drama & comedy for adults ('meet the parents' & 'cast away', not the 'other' kind of adult movies)
kids, stay at home
kids, to go (the one we take on longer trips (& sometimes just across town depending on how much arguing i want to listen to on a given errand run)
four of them are the kind you can add pages to which i love...
i have ordered cases & extra pages from amazon
& we also stop into the container store when we are in portland & need extra pages...
highly recommended!
alrighty
so
i can't even say how happy am to be doing this!
i am a complete movie dork & i also love doing things as a 'project'
so this is like heaven to me!
also, also, i tend to watch the same movies over & over
& i forget how great some movies are so this is forcing me (such a burden!)
to watch them all!
i love it!
alphabetical chick flicks, part one:
the movies:
13 going on 30 (2004)
17 again (2009)
common themes:
appreciating the age you are (after trying out a different one)
great dance numbers (thriller & bust a move)
favorite quotes:
Arlene: Eminem's on the phone; he wants an answer now.
Jenna : Umm... plain. Peanut? Plain!
Ned: It's a classic transformation story. Are you now or have you ever been a Norse God, Vampire, or Time Traveling Cyborg?
Mike: I have know you since what, first grade? I think that maybe I would have told you!
Ned: Vampire wouldn't tell, Cyborg wouldn't know.
the one i recommend the very most:
i can't choose. please don't make me.
'13 going on 30' came out the year Q was born
& brian took me to see it because i had been talking about it since the first preview
(i was a hug 'alias' fan & just love jennifer garner).
i just saw that it came out 2 days after Q was born
but i remember seeing it in the theater
so it may have been Q's first movie
(he slept through many in those first few months :)
when it came out on dvd brian bought it for me
& i watched it so many times.
oh my goodness!
i love jennifer garner still so much
& mark ruffalo is so perfect in this role (as he is in most of his roles)
they have the best chemistry in this, so, so, so sweet!
the pitch that she makes in the last part of the movie is
always how i picture myself giving a pitch for my little dream <3
i adore this movie...
okay i admit it, i had a crush on zac ephron
i loved 'high school musical' so much i should have just bought a trapper keeper & re-memorized my locker combination
(side note: miss m is a huge hsm fan now, too & oh boy, she LOVES troy :)
so when '17 again' came out i was all about going to see it
& it did not disappoint
(unlike pretty much every movie he has done since...
go back to cute comedy, zac! it's okay, you can be leonardo decaprio in a few more years!)
it's just so funny & silly
every person in it is perfect in their role.
i love leslie mann & she is so great
thomas lennon is awesome as the geeky friend
& matthew perry! just love.
there are some really original, fun scenes
& i just love it...
up next: more numbers!
hint:
It's official. I'm in love with Summer.
