Rotten to the Core
A quick update of my adventures over the weekend...
- Doug introduced me to the movie "Wet Hot American Summer" Friday night. Funny, funny film. Ya know, I never was a huge fan of "The State" when it was originally on, but I've been consistently entertained by their post-"State" work like "Viva Variety," "Reno 911!", Stella, etc.
- Went to a great birthday party for my friend James on Saturday. Partied atop the Fiesta Cantina in West Hollywood. It was a luau theme. Free margaritas, free food, and a good crowd. There was even a roasted suckling pig! EEEE! I dunno, but I've never fancied eating food that still has its head nearby. :-)
- Yesterday, a bunch of us trekked about an hour north of the valley to Oxnard for a little mini-golfing and bumper boating at Golf 'n Stuff. Drew and Larry tied for the best score followed Ted and Shaun tied for second. I don't even wanna talk about my score. I think, for once, that I didn't have the highest score. That honor befell on my friend Tim. More details and photos to come in a new photo album I hope to put up here by Labor Day weekend...
- Finally, we capped off the weekend by subjecting some friends to a viewing of Menahem Golan's 1980 epic "The Apple." (BEWARE! - If you do actually plan to see this film, you might not want to read too far down that page...there are spoilers a plenty.) The look of sheer shock amongst the newbies was worth sitting through the film again. A tip for those of you repeat "Apple" viewers: Watch the DVD with the subtitles on during the musical numbers. Only then will you truly appreciate the horridness of some of the lyrics. Ted, Tim, Tony, Larry, and I have this dream of putting together a tribute album of the movie's soundtrack with popular musical artists covering the songs from this true monument to campy craptacularness. To you other people wise to the ways of "The Apple," whom would you like to see do covers of songs from the movie? Click the comments link on the bottom right and spout off!
