I took my parents to see Bubba Ho-Tep. 
Hilarity ensued. Seriously, my mom and I still quote that movie. It was hella awkward when it first came on and Elvis starts talking about his penis.

I just found out that Prince wrote "Manic Monday" for the Bangles. "I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream" is an awesome line.

I read an article about the extensive reuse of scenes and alternate takes in "Wagons East"- creeped me out more than any Halloween movie. They did a *lot* of fudging to get that sucker out.

Random late thought: did anyone else have Great Books in school, where you'd stay after and read short stories and discuss them? I did it all the years it was offered in grade school, in the mid to late eighties.

We had books around too, and I remember finding my parents collection of 'adult' books, which included some Readers Digest Condensed Books.
