It’s 1:04 am (Which is really 12:04 in my brain) and I can’t sleep.
\nI’m not a big ‘movie watcher’.\u00a0 I like stuff like CSI and Forensic Files.\u00a0 When I was kid though, movies were the shit.\u00a0 I grew up in a town where we had 3 television stations. PBS. ABC and if the weather was right CBS.<\/p>\n
I remember the day my mom came home with a rented VCR.\u00a0 We must have sat around and watched everything they had in the very small video store in our town.\u00a0 When the prices of a VCR came down, we bought one and that started my love of anything that could be rewound and watched over and over.<\/p>\n
My friend, Cori Pignataro, had 2 movies that she watched over and over at her house.\u00a0 I would have to say we saw those two movies at least a hundred times in the 4 years we spent our days together.<\/p>\n
Poltergeist was her step-dad’s favorite movie.\u00a0 After school and he got off of work we had to watch his taped “General Hospital” and “Days of Our Lives”.\u00a0 After we were caught up on Luke and Laura, then Bo and Hope we would watch Poltergeist.<\/p>\n
The other movie is my guilty pleasure movie.\u00a0 Cori’s dad never stuck around if we put it in to watch it with her older sister.\u00a0 Purple Rain.\u00a0 We knew EVERY.SINGLE.LINE of that movie.<\/p>\n
Tonight, plum out of Forensic Files (by the way, I have seen EVERY episode of that show…and concluded, I might need to move the dead bodies of my ex-boyfriends to another location…my backyard just isn’t safe anymore.)
\nPurple Rain was on this channel I had never seen before.\u00a0 I decided, “What the hell. It will at least knock me out and I will fall asleep.”<\/p>\n
No such luck.\u00a0 Damn movie sucked me in like I was 13 all over again.\u00a0 I wanted SO badly to stand up on the hope chest at the end of my bed and dance to Morris Day and The Time and It took everything I had not to belt out, “Baby I’m a Star!” at the end of the movie.<\/p>\n
Okay, I have admitted my secret guilty pleasure movie. What’s yours?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s 1:04 am (Which is really 12:04 in my brain) and I can’t sleep.
