Do yourself a favor...

I decided tonight to watch one of my favorite movies of all time. The title is "Beautiful Girls", and no it is not that kind of movie. It tells the story of a guy going back to his home town for a high school reunion, and the events of the town. It's hard to say what I really like about the movie. I think because it is endlessly quotable, and the characters are all well defined. They are also likeable because they never act like someone they are not, they're consistent.

Free Preview:
A great scene in the movie is one where Paul has decided that because Jan his girlfriend of seven years has decided to move on and date a butcher (Jan's a vegetarian, do you see the hypocrisy in that Will?) he will plow her driveway, except his method is to push all of the snow in the driveway in front of the garage door, rather than out to the street. All this while listening to "The Break Up Song" by Greg Kihn (uh-uh-uhhhh-uh-uh-uhh-uhh-uhhhh).

Do yourself a favor and rent it soon, or I'll loan it to you as long as you promise me your first born.
