So Long, 2008

I have no recommendations for films to watch on New Years eve.  Of course, you should watch something with Meryl Streep in it, but unless I get really industrious I doubt I am.  Last year I went to see Enchanted with my parents and I don't remember what I did the year before.  I do remember one New Years party with friends where we watch Monty Python and Mars Attacks.  Classics.

I don' think it really matters, it's mostly a holiday for getting plastered anyway.  I very much doubt that I'll be getting plastered tonight, but I do believe in the power of champagne.  Maybe my friends and I will watch a movie, but it's more likely we'll play a lot of DDR and have pizza.  If we were watching a movie, here's what I'd chose:  

Postcards from the Edge - This was one of the first Meryl Streep movies I saw and I love it.  It's not always happy, but it's bitingly funny and has a phenomenal story.  It also has one of my favorite lines ever for a movie: "I think I'm going to go weave a basket now."

Mars Attacks - It's really stupid, and I like stupid.

Modern Times - I saw this movie with a live orchestra once and I don't think anything will ever top that, but it's still an awesome movie.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - For one night and one night only, the NBC peacock meets God!

Happy New Year.
