Robots, Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg, and the 1980s. What more could you want? It’s Short Circuit. A charming movie about a war machine who finds a home with a woman named Stephane, and adventures ensues.
In an era where we were at odds with the Soviet Union, a computer was designed to take us to war. Sounds like what is going on right now. Or something like that. Foreshadowing, maybe? It’s Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, and Ally Sheedy in “War Games” This is our 1980s movie of the night.
Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie.
To celebrate we have enjoyed three-meat pizza pie and chocolate satin pie. Both were yummy. Since it is also Saturday the 14th after Friday the 13th we are watching a scary, cheesy 1980s movie Saturday The 14th.
We are being entertained by the great actor Kevin Bacon instead of watching the State of Disunion Address by the Fascist Dear Leader. For our entertainment we have chosen “Tremors” and “He Said, She Said”. Two different movies but still two of the six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Bruce Willis is one of the great actors in America. He has great range and has put on some great film and TV performances. Die Hard to Armageddon to The Sixth Sense to Moonlighting shows his enormous talent. He has retired for medical reasons, but we should be grateful for all his great work.
If you watch the movie “Love Actually” followed by “Die Hard” you get to see Alan Rickman get punished severely for having an affair with his secretary. It’s quite satisfying.
