Never Look Back (Except Now)




Bitches and Babies
June 7, 2005


Loren says Lords of Dogtown is a really good movie, and he cried like a bitch. So he can no longer make fun of me for bawling at the end of Savannah Smiles, a movie reference so obscure that I feel out of touch with modern-day popular culture. But I do know that skaters rule!

Incidentally, some months ago at one of those fancy Hollywood parties that Loren dragged me to, Stacy Peralta was there. He's THE original lord of Dogtown, upon which the movie is based. (He also wrote the script.) Much to Loren's dismay and supposed embarrassment, I marched up to Mr. Peralta and exclaimed, "I heard you know a thing or two about skateboarding!"

He nodded politely.

I continued: "I wanna learn how to ride a skateboard! Show me how!"

Instead of kicking my punk ass, he told me to go to a skate shop in Santa Monica and ask for help there. I guess he didn't want to train me like a Jedi.

Speaking of Jedis, Revenge of the Sith is actually a thinly veiled piece of pro-abortion propaganda!

[BEGIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS...]





If Natalie Portman had aborted her babies, she would've never come under the threat of dying in childbirth, and Hayden Christensen would've never converted to the Dark Side in order to save her life. But then again, I understand how Ms. Portman wanted to damn the torpedoes and have Mr. Christensen's babies anyway.





[...END POSSIBLE SPOILERS.]

I want to have Mr. Christensen's babies too. Hayden, I wanna learn how to have your babies! Show me how!

[Commentary 07.24.08: Wow. I can't believe my obsession with Hayden Christensen and him fathering my children date this far back. Some things never change.... As for Lords of Dogtown, I still haven't seen it. Sorry, Mr. Peralta.]

I would also let Hayden Christensen father my children. Not because I'm gay, no I'm happily married (to a woman), but because I'm a huge Star Wars nerd.

Wait, you BALLED at the end of the movie??

Which theater was THAT?? Jesus, I need to get away from the Grove and start going where YOU'RE going!

Mike, I like your progressiveness.

Jon, ha ha, you are the second person to make fun of my typo. I actually ball after most movies. That's how I roll. I need a sweet release as often as I can.

But I have fixed the typo, lest I be deemed a perv in relation to the masterpiece, "Savannah Smiles."

I remember Savannah Smiles, too. I mean I remember that it existed, it was always on cable, I saw a little bit of it. BTW, have you IMDB'd that movie lately and checked out the fate of the actress who played Savannah? Worst case scenario.

I totally remember Savannah Smiles, that little girl hides in the back of a car that belongs to two criminals on the lamb...who then bond with her and get arrested when they return her to her parents.

William, OMG, I didn't know that she's DEAD! Jesus Christ! A tragedy.

Marisela, I haven't seen it in maybe ten years, maybe more, but I remember crying uncontrollably at the end of that movie.
