that's what the front's for
i love that someone tried to make a list of the best musical moments in film. i don't agree with all of the choices. but i totally, 100% precent agree with a few. #32 for example, is one of my favourites. and i do love me some bohemian rhapsody at #1.
but a couple things are a little off. i mean, i love '10 things i hate about you'. during my youth, i used to watch that show pretty much once a week. i can still watch it and pretty much quote the whole dialogue verbatim. but do i agree that one of the top 40 musical moments of all time in film happens in the movie? most likely not. do i agree that it contains two of the top 40 musical moments of all time? definitely not. 'pretty in pink' doubled up too. i think this person got sick of watching movies and just picked two songs from each to finish up the list quicker. (i mean, who makes a 'top 38' list)
i know that people who read this will have other opinions about what should have been included. so feel free to share. personally, one of my favourite musical movie moments is when "the only living boy in new york," by simon and garfunkel starts playing as natalie portman and zach braff kiss (and peter sarsgaard watches) during 'garden state'.
other than reading that list this weekend, lots of stuff happened. my parents were in to visit from ontario, and we had a great time relaxing, and cooking way too much food. i now have a freezer full of turkey to last me until i turn 34. which is like 11 years, for those of you who are counting. and i'm not really kidding, either. my dad decided that it would be a good idea to cook a 17lb turkey for 3 people. guess what's not a good idea dad? cooking a 17lb turkey for 3 people! but in reality, it's all good. there are worse things in the world than having too much turkey. like having too much carrot juice.
i also bought the new killers album, 'sam's town'. i've listened to it a couple times now, and really like most of it. i'm not totally in agreeance that naming a song 'bling (confessions of a king)' was a smart move, but the song itself is super good. it's no 'hot fuss', but the album does have its strong moments.
the best thing to come out of the weekend however is some new furniture! finally, i can have more than two people over without making someone sit in a camping chair! although the camping chair was so stylish in all of its purple glory, a new futon and two new chairs are much better for entertaining. and i've been graciously upgraded to a 20" tv, which pretty much doubles the amount of tv that i had before. bling bling.
well, it's time to go do some work. i've been up for about 16 hours today, as a result of dropping the 'rents off at the airport at 4:30 this morning. i was a bit of a zombie today to say the least. a three hour nap tonight and some pumpkin pie has remedied that however, and i'm ready to work. well, not really, but if i don't i'll be in big trouble.
favourite song of the day: 'small parts' - the oohlas
**addenum - someone found my blog by searching 'why is amanda so weird'. note to that person: you are not going to find that answer here. i've been trying to figure it out for years, and can really only attribute it to my genetic makeup and vast love for monkies holding flaming toasters.

Maybe the title of that guy's article should have been "The Best 40 Musical Moments In Film's that I Own". Cause that's really the only way it makes any sense. At all.
