Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! Finally, all five seasons of "The Brady Bunch" are available on DVD with this fabulicious shag cover! You can't always judge a DVD by its package--unlike men! But this is sure one neat and spiffy cover. Gee whiz! I can't wait to relive all the hilarious moments, like Alice's hula hooping injury, and Jan's football to nose innjury, and the time when that one boy's voice changed. Or was that on the "Partridge Family?" See, I need to watch it again! I haven't had a Brady experience since that made-for-TV movie starring a young Adam Brody as whoever played Peter Brady. I'm so excited to go back to the original.
Midgets and log ladies and giants, oh my! I was a bit too young to appreciate "Twin Peaks" when it was on, but I occasionally watched it, and the images of Bob gave me nightmares that I don't think will ever go away! But what a great cult classic this show is, with Agent Cooper and his cherry pie fetish, David Duchovny playing a transvestite named Denise (formerly Dennis), and my favorite character, Lucy the police secretary.
The second season has sure taken a long time to come out on DVD. Hopefully that means there will some delicious extras. I remember hearing that the show started going downhill sometime during the second season, although maybe it was the third. Either way, I'm sure this will hit the spot for a scary night at home, or just some cut boy watching thanks to Bobby, James, and Mike! Remember when Mike was being stalked by Nadine after she got a concussion and developed super-human strength and the mistaken belief she was in high school again? Remember when Laara Flynn Boyle was less anorexic? This show truly is from another planet sometimes.
And now for something new! This week's biggest new release on DVD is certainly The Good Shepherd, Robert De Niro's CIA thriller. Now, as much as I appreciate the people in this movie, Matt Damon isn't cute enough anymore for me to invest almost three hours in a movie whose subject is so boring! If I wanted to see the Skulls unveiled, I would see The Skulls. Oh wait, I did! And it was horrendous! This is like the Oscar version, with history and intrigue and lots of really famous people.
However, when I was researching this movie on IMDB, I noticed that the five plot keywords listed on the site are:
Intolerance / Xenophobia / Racial Prejudice / Breasts / Blood
Well, that sounds interesting, if straight! Maybe I'll bite Matt's bullet and try to choke down this epic, but if I wanted to experience those keywords, I could just go to certain gay clubs in Boys' Town and have a drink and watch a go-go boy at the same time.
