i think thats all i have seen out of those... i could have missed a few though...
so last night i was again up tunil about 5:30 which sucks, i think part of the reason this time though was that it was so freaking cold in my house, and ever COLdER outside. damn louisville weather, 70 on sunday and by tuesday it was 20, evilness.
so while awake last night i watched one of the movies i bought yesterday..i watched dirty dancing.
ok while i have always liked the movie, i have not ever REALLY seen it before, as the last time i watched it was probably before i was 13 (and im now 20 so... how long is that... 7 years. thats a long time) I watched it all the time when i was little. I loved the music and all the dancing scenes (as i myself was a dancer) so from time time i was about 4 to i dunno prolly about 10 ot 11, i watched it a lot - well that and nightmare on elm street, foul play, and indiana jones and the temple of doom - yes i know i was a weird child - anyway the point being was that i never really knew what it was about, since when i god older my mother hid the tape so that my little 12 or 13 year old self would not watch it and come asking questions - now i find this humorous that this is the ONLY video censoring that my mother has ever done - hell i have watched horror movies since i was three, she just isnt one to really care about movies and all that they supposedly inflict, prolly has something to do with her reading books all the time, and if someone where to censor what she reads she would be pissed so i guess maybe thats why she didnt do it to her kids - anyway, yeah the point of this rant on movies, my mother, and my childhood, was simply that i have never really seen dirty dancing as an adult before - still a great movie, and i still love it - just thought it was interesting that A i had not seen it in atleast 7 years and B weird to know what a movie is really about....thats what happens when you watch movies when you are little and then later as an adult i guess...............................
