Send Dr. Loomis To Africa
As an example of what can happen late at night, some time after the effects of a large Diedrich Latte (four shots of espresso!) have started to wear off, there was bedtime discussion with Callie last night.
It began with the discussion of the music from the movie Halloween (it's that time of year, after all).
And progressed to, ya know, a French Horn might be able to do some of the background parts.
To, my GAWD I hated the movie Out of Africa.
To, ya know, the soundtrack was at least tolerable. Those French horns were nice.
To, maybe a combination of Halloween and Out of Africa would be good. They could incorporate the French horns that featured prominently in the Out Of Africa soundtrack in the Halloween theme song, and about the time Robert Redford was trying to bed some chick in an African field, Dr. Loomis could burst onto the scene, warning "You've got to evacuate Africa. MICHAEL MYERS IS HERE! You've got to get OUT OF AFRICA!"
And at the end, Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis would survive, but the Out Of Africa stars would all die.
I like it. Then again, my views of Out of Africa are tainted by the fact that in college, too many chicks I was interested in almost always made that some sort of litmus test -- to get anywhere, you had to survive that damnable movie (must have been an Honors College thing, now that I reflect on it). I never did make it through the thing.

Reminds me of a dream I had in the 80's, in which the band members of MEN AT WORK and MEN WITHOUT HATS were engaged in a Westside-Story-type rumble, one side singing a line from "Down Under" and the other responding with a line from "Safety Dance." Then back to the other side, and on and on until both sides finished their songs.
Sometimes we smartass types are strange.

I have never seen any of the "Halloween" movies. I don't even know who Mike Meyers is.
Is this a movie I need to watch to call myself an American?
I, uh, did watch "Out of Africa". I even own it on VHS...

Julie:
Oh yes, you do need to see the first Halloween! It's a fine John Carpenter flick. Classic horror. Great score. Yes yes yes.
I'm not in college anymore, so I don't have to, say, make it all the way through Out Of Africa in order to visit your blog and carry on with you, do I? Because as much as I like your blog and you, Julie, I just don't know if I have that in me.... :)

You don't have to like Out of Africa to visit my blog.
Truth be told, I didn't actually buy the movie. My brother gave me a pile of his old VHS tapes and that was the first time I'd even considered watching it.
"Hmm." I thought. "This looks interesting. Africa. Lions. Cool."
I don't know if I can handle watching Halloween, though. I have a very active imagination...and I live in the middle of nowhere in the country and it gets scary.
