Look, there's a reason they call it the idiot box, it sure makes me act stupid....

1. I accidentally saw about 20 minutes of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and just as i was trying to remember why I wasn't going to watch that... oh jeez. I turned off the damn television. Then I found myself mentally rewriting Alec's dialogue in the style of Smoove B (there will also be cocktail sauce!) and then humming "Date Rape" to myself for the next 2 hours. And I only saw 20 minutes!

2. I just caught a 2 second clip of a movie before changing the channel... and then I flipped back because I knew I was ... whoever the hell plays Will Smith's girl in that movie. It was of course immediately reinforced by seeing Mary McDonnell and thinking "oh right, she's not President in this movie, though she's... uh, close?" Oh hey! It's like she's almost a President with a terminal illness, but not quite! *snort*

Oh hey, random bonus! A much younger Adam Baldwin is in ID4! Guess what he gets to do? SHOOT AT THINGS. I don't know that I would have recognized him if he wasn't firing a gun at something.

Man, look at all the flannel shirts and untucked t-shirts in this movie! I miss the 90s....

How many times have I SEEN this movie? I thought I hadn't watched it since the two times in the theater... and yet I can quote all the dialogue, and I'm talking dialogue that ISN'T ripped off from other movies.

Oh Adam Baldwin!

Are you watching Chuck?

OH DUH I JUST REALIZED WHO HE IS IN THAT MOVIE.

I feel like I have the dumb. ;(

PS: I love Sublime. "Date Rape" is such a great song.

Oh man, now I want to go dig up that old ID4 parody I wrote back in high school and re-read it. And the parody folder is one of the few things in the office that I can easily reach... but then I'd spend the whole rest of the morning re-reading all of those other parodies your sister and I (and Obi-Wan, etc.) wrote back then... and I'm already going to be in SO much trouble for slacking off these past couple of weeks...
