Movie: Romancing the Stone
Strix had never seen this, so it ended up on our Netflix list. What a silly, campy little movie this is, very much a product of the 80's (1984, to be exact). Still, it's a fun little movie, and the plot makes more sense to me now that I'm no longer 12. And hey, Kathleen Turner actually looked good, even though even then she had that voice that made her sound like she really enjoyed cigars and whiskey.
Completely off topic, but it was snowing like mad here earlier. It was hard to even get home from rehearsal... near white-out conditions.
Come to New Mexico, they said. It's beautiful and tropical, they said. Lovely.

I just told Strix that she'll also have to see "The Jewel Of The Nile" to get the whole story.
Lovely. -You occasionally get New York style weather, eh?
;-)
It's always a bit of a risk re-visiting the old faves, I guess.
Glad you made it home safe from the rehearsal.
Half the joy of Kathleen Turner is that sultry voice... admit it, you love it.
admit it, you love it.
When she was younger, it was nice. These days, she sounds like Flo from the Diner.
don't knock Flo She had it going on Man
If you and Strix like camp, try Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death, 1989, friggin hilarious
I admit a fondness for Romancing the Stone, though I thought it too "low brow" when my serious teenager self first saw it. My brow has fortunately gotten lower I

I hear you about the miserable weather. We've had non-stop rain here for weeks. We needed the water, but it is so dismal when it pours down day after day. And it's cold. (sigh)
I talked to Strix, too about this film I thoughtit was enjoyable, but it' been years since I've seen it....

I have Strix checking for it on Netflix right now. Thanks for the tip. ;->
The title reminds me of a book title: Bimbos of the Death Sun. The book is actually a very funny murder mystery set in a science fiction convention where the guest author of honor is killed, and he is famous for writing a book of that same title.
Shall we try Atlixco, Puebla, Mexico . They claim to have the best climate in the world.
Sounds good. Wikipedia seems to confirm this. Maybe we should wait a few years and see what global warming does to them.
