Score! I found one of my favorite movies of all time used on DVD. My videocassette of Party Girl was so tired. This scene is worth a million bucks. Oh Parker, will you ever know my love?
A while back I travelled to Boise for work. Thankfully my boss at the time had impeccable taste and reserved a room for my stay at The Modern. This little hotel is amazing. It is literally an old 60's TravelLodge that has been redesigned into a chic, comfortable hotel.
I can't say enough good about the design. Such basic ideas made the staple motel room layout feel so different. I liked the color palette so much and wanted to remember it so I snapped a few photos. I think great design only enhances the things around it. I literally walked in the room and threw my apple and bag down and it looked like a photo shoot. There are tons of great photos on their site if you are craving more. Oh, and an i-pod docking station and flat screen tv in every room. Daddy didn't want to leave.
So last night became a night of amazing rollerskating film magic. A group of us watched this gem which I just discovered whilst perusing Netflix. If you have any love for bad 70's movies, ridiculous dialogue, or disco music then you should check Roller Boogie out. Also, there is more hypnotically interesting fashion than you can shake a stick at. Um, Linda Blair? Really? From The Exorcist to this?
The viewing of this of course turned into highlights of Xanadu for a lucky virgin to the film. Her eyes had not yet been opened to the hot magic that is Xanadu. If you are reading this and saying to yourself, "I've never seen Xanadu" then you should call in sick or cancel your plans or do whatever you need to to get to watching ASAP.
So my good friend Heather tipped me off to this cool Olympic inspired layout with model Ali Stephens. Check it out here. It is short but very cool. The opening ceremonies were amazing. Thanks to my sis and DVR I was able to see the highlights. That drumming in the beginning was insane and so powerful. China is really doing it right.
Go see this! Brilliant and hilarious and touching.
Rent this! Whoa, I really liked this movie.
Also, ran into this gem again late the other night on tv. This movie is so shockingly good it scares me a little.
Also, I apologize to those of you who look at this post and say to yourselves, "ugh, I don't have time to watch things!" Truly though, I love trailers. I hate missing them before movies I go see. I have always said that I wish there was a movie of trailers we could go see. Agree? how great would it be every few months to just go see all the trailers to the stuff coming out soon. OOH! I would love that.
