Why do we even have that lever?

Do you ever get into a cycle where something makes you get the urge to watch a specific movie you've already seen oodles of times? Then, when you watch it, it makes you want to watch another random movie, which makes you want to watch another, and so on...

I am in one of those cycles.

It is kind of a double-fueled cycle, too. First off, I got the hankering to rewatch The Emperor's New Groove. Totally wonderful movie. The whole concept should have bombed but it completely rocked instead. My only real quibble was how they threw in that "Lord of the Dance" moment that every movie made in that time period had to have. I mean, seriously, why? Now that we've gotten past that stupid fad, as was certainly bound to happen, that whole scene is just pointless and no longer even funny. I mean, it pertains to absolutely nothing else going on in the film. Sigh. I digress. Anyhoo, still, a great movie. I mean, come on, talking llama. Previously to watching this movie, however, I had watched (three times, actually) an episode of The Big Bang Theory guest starring D.J. Qualls. He is a weird, squirrelly little dude, but he is funny. So that in combination with Patrick Warburton's excellent voice work in Emperor got me wanting to watch Big Trouble again.

Wow, what an incredible movie. I am completely in awe of Dave Berry and his mad crazy writing skills. If he ever decided to go into writing sci-fi or fantasy, he'd totally give Terry Pratchett (and possibly even the late great Douglas Adams) a run for his money.

Watching Big Trouble and being amused by the antics of D.J. Qualls and Zooey Deschanel then got me wanting to watch another movie featuring those two, The New Guy, so I popped it in. Of course, that has made me now want to watch Bring it On and probably also Get Over It, which will bring me back to the start of the cycle, I guess, with Ben Foster's connection to Big Trouble. Of course it also has the possibility of making me want to watch Orange County next...

Circle, circular, round...yeah.

So...anyhoo, that's where I am at right now. Unfortunately, I won't get to watch any of these tonight. Not that I regret that, I'm about to head out to an Eve 6 concert. If there is ever a band I am glad got back together, it's those guys.

So anyhoo, yeah. I hope you all have a lovely evening and week.

Until next time...

Peace, y'all,
