FADE TO BLACK...


I am about to go on vacation, so there will not be any posts here for two weeks. That gives you plenty of time to catch up on older entries and peruse/make fun of my insane Lost theories, leave comments, or play the silly movie game. Or not.

My mind has already wandered far. I have been thinking about vacation movies, or at least the ones which feature traveling and/or beautiful locales. So here you go.
  • 50 First Dates & Blue Crush (aloha)
  • Amelie (the Paris I would like to see, not the one I experienced many years ago)
  • The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (fabulous!)
  • Brokeback Mountain (quite possibly the most visually stunning setting ever for a film)
  • Cocktail (although Tommy wouldn't be in my tropical paradise)
  • Dirty Dancing & A Walk on the Moon (for family cabin camping and drama in the Catskills)
  • Little Miss Sunshine (the van of my childhood was more spacious and reliable)
  • National Lampoon's European Vacation (I prefer it to the original)
  • The Talented Mr. Ripley (sans the stalker/murder stuff)
  • Under the Tuscan Sun (I heart Italy)
Obviously there are far more that would fit this list. By all means, please remind me what I'm missing!

Soon I will be firmly planted in a deck chair aboard a giant ship headed to Alaska, bundled up, photographing glaciers, listening to my iPod and drinking hot chocolate...with Kahlua. No cell, no email, no blog. Yikes. Good times!

Bon voyage.
