"I merely chewed in self-defense, but I never swallowed."

Unfortunately my life has been unadventurous as of late. I was working on a project and as a result, very busy for the past week. This week is no different. I have lots of projects that need to get wrapped up. Blah blah, boring boring. 

I'm wasting a little late night time watching Dragonheart on TV. Classic movie. I was about 9 years old when it came out and was definitely a favorite of mine growing up.

Let me just say, it is still completely enjoyable. It's incredibly cheesy. The bad guys are wiped out by getting clothes lined by tree trunks and shot in the butt with arrows. You can't top that. Quaid as the jaded knight and David Thewlis (more well known as Professor Lupin in the Harry Potter movies now) playing the crazy prince. You know he is crazy because he spends the entire movie with eyes so wide they look like they are going to fall out of his skull. Oh, let us not forget that he kills his own mother. Bastard.

The only thing I think he did right was (as a redhead) try to mate with the hot peasant chick, who was also a redhead. With the declining redhead population, she should have taken one for the team and just gone with it. Just sayin...

But I digress! This movie is wonderfully bad. You can't really beat the sexy voice of Sean Connery as the dragon. The dialog is silly and, like I mentioned, they play on the idea that a hurt bum is enough to knock out the "bad guys". I think I adore this movie even more than when I was little because I can actually understand what's going on.

If you haven't seen this movie recently, I suggest you rent it. I just watched a man get taken out by a basket. Win.

  3. It is my most favorite move of all time ever, and picks me up when I'm feeling down.
