I'll always love you...

Ok-so you guys all know I did not see Buckaroo when it came out. I think I saw it about 5 years ago.


Well, I just saw for the first time ever, (must be going through a Peter Weller phase) , ROBOCOP. This was a fantastic film. Why did I wait? No one knows the mysteries of paintergirl. Poor poor Melvin.

Melvin puts up with a lot, and I have to give him credit. If it weren't for him, who knows what I would be listening to-Duran? Enya?

Well, Melvin burned a little disc for me, and I'm charmed.

It's a British band Goldfrapp. Not a very typical musical selection for me, but lovely.

I can describe it as very uplifting. When you hear it you will want to dance. Maybe even be a stripper. Who knows.

PainterGirl -- I am glad I am not the only one who's a wee bit 'behind' in the film department.
The exact same thing happened to me. I didn't watch Robocop until some time last year; on Alan's request. And as with most of the films he recommends, I loved it! Absolutely loved it. Like Melvin, Alan too has to put up with a lot.
I've got him to thank for getting me to watch The Terminator too -- some time during 2004! Only 20 years after its release. One of my favourite films now, which I've watched several times since then.

Better late than never, I guess....

Goldfrapp -- I haven't heard any of their stuff [as far as I am aware].

Alan-Which one is on ER? I'm still reeling from the dad from "That 70's Show" being a creep. Sort of unsettling.

I think we saw Total Recall in the theatre. I enjoyed it.
Oh yea-I'm looking at the cd in the hard drive now of Ladytron that Melvin brought home.

Lilly oh Lilly-
There are dozens if not 100's of movies I have not seen. We just watched Leviathon (of course Weller) it's a cheesy alein-esqe movie.
I like terminator too. I liked the 2nd one quite a bit.

Alan-Warm electronic-that's it. A nice groove that that sits well.

"I will take you, alive or dead"

Do you think his students ever ask him to do the voice?

I can't believe THAT guy is on ER. (Or was) The toxic waste tank was so inconspicouis.

I know I would want Weller to sing to me-(ala BB)

"I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
Baby, I just don't have anything, anything
Since I don't have you, I don't have you"

Thanks Alan for the photo. Poor Murphy.

I've been very interested in Goldfrapp, been hearing a lot about the band and curious. My hub hasn't mentioned them.

I have a Goldfrapp album - I think it's the first one - Felt Mountain. Apparently she was only 18 or 19 when she sung in that - whatever her name is. Amazing voice, just amazing. I think on first listen it reminded me of Portishead.

Buckaroo - not heard of or seen it. I don't think I have seen Robocop - guess that's one that I would have dismissed as "not my thing"... but then again I would probably like it as I loved Terminator. Will give it a go some time on your recommendation PG!

I don't believe you would be listening to Enya. No, no!

pg,

you may have seen it already, but i posted about zombies a few days ago.. i thought you might get a kick out of it.

(just ignore the long rambling soft core porn that my comments turned into: i had nothing to do with it)

PAINTERGIRL -- WHERE ARE YOU, DEAR?

paintergirl said...

Acu-I think you'll really like Goldfrapp. Check it out.

Rose-she has an amazing voice, and I'll be the first to say, I rarely get into women singers.

And you have to see Buckaroo. It's 80's chesse, but you'll have a good laugh. Robocop is violent, but in a way they never show anymore. It's a really good representation of 80's movies. They are both different but I think you'll get a good laugh.


Rita- You have thought about this alot. I had to print it out and read it. I love it. I think I may be ino zombies whether I like it or not huh?

Lilly-I'm here just back from a road trip, and now I have a cold and it's my birthday tomorrow.

You look after yourself, PainterGirl -- so that you can get well soon! Stock up on vitamin C and stay warm and cosy [that's an order like!].

Tillykke med fødselsdagen :-D
