So, Yeah, My Peeps…

…I’ve Had This Little Number Playing Off-&-On In My Brain The Past Week…

…And I Finally Decided To Do Something About It.

TUFF ENUFF

by THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS

…Is One Of THE Most Catchy Songs Ever Written And Performed In The Annals Of Human History.

And While That’s Not A Bad Thing…

…It’s Really Not A Great Thing, Either.

Listen To It Once, And You’re Mentally HOOKED.

One Word;

INFECTIOUS

.Period.

So…

…I’m Doing TWO Things, At The Moment.

One…

…I’m Bloggin’ To Y’all.

Two…

…I’m Listening To The Damned Song On My MP3Player.

That’s Right, Kids…

…I’m Driving Myself Mad With The Power Of Catchy ’80s Music.

😀

I Think We Could Officially Stamp This One…

"80s Music Overload (but in a good way)"

😉

Don’t Get Me Wrong…

…It’s A Great Song, Fo SHO.

I’ve Just Heard It So Many MANY Times This Past Week.

Why I Didn’t Decide To Blog About It Sooner, I Haven’t The Foggiest.

Perhaps Bloggin’bout It Will Finally End The Reign Of Repeat In My Brain?!

Good Lord I Hope So.

If It Works-Out That Way…

…GREAT!!!

If It Doesn’t Work Out That Way…

…Well PLUGH!!!

For My Own Safety…

…And Sanity…

…Whatever Sanity I Have Left…

…I Sincerely Hope It Works-Out.

TUFF ENUFF

…Should Come Equipped With A Warning Label.

It Should Say Something Like…

"Warning: This Is A Great Song From The 1980's That You'll Love Love LOVE... ...Until You've Heard It Tooo Damned Many Times... ...Then It Kinda Eats At You... ...Forever... ...And Ever... Until It Doesn't Anymore... ...And Then The Cycle Repeats... ...So Goes The World."

…Or Something To That Effect.

😉

Anyway, My Peeps…

…I Do Hope You’re Enjoying The Morning, Thus Far.

I’m Super Tired, But Can’t Get Any Sleepin’ Done.

Hence WHY I’m Up So Early, Bloggin’bout Stuff Wit Y’all.

Could Be Worse, Right?!

RIGHT!!!

Catch You Cats And Kittens Later!!!

😀

Random Movie Mention: “GAME 6” (2005)

Y’all Know I’m Always Game For A Good Baseball Movie.

GAME 6

…Starring…

MICHAEL KEATON

GRIFFIN DUNNE

…And…

ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

…However…

…Is A Bit Different From What I’m Used To.

And That’s Not Necessarily A Bad Thing.

I Do So Enjoy It When Someone Shakes-Up The Mold Of What One Might Be Expecting…

…Delivering Something Quirky…

…Something Off-Beat…

…Something Pretty Damned Original.

MICHAEL KEATON

…Is A Playwright.

His Latest Show Is Just Opening On BROADWAY…

…And It Just So Happens To Be Opening The Week Of The 1986 WORLD SERIES!

The 1986 WORLD SERIES Was A Hard-Fought Battle Between…

The NEW YORK METS

…And…

The BOSTON RED SOX

…And The Events of This Film Take Place The Day/Night Of…

…Yep…

GAME 6

…Which Was The Pivotal Game Of The Entire Series!

KEATON‘s Character “NICKY ROGAN” Is A Die-Hard Fan Of The RED SOX

…And He’s Obsessing A Bit.

The RED SOX Appear To Be On The Brink Of Finally Winning The WORLD SERIES For The First Time Since 1918…

…But “NICKY” Can’t Help But Feel Something Horrid Is Going To Happen…

…Both To His RED SOX And His New Play.

He Expects His SOX To Lose.

He Expects His Play To Be Lampooned And Fail.

He’s Just Not A Positive Thinker, To Say The Least.

We Already Know The SOX Would Go On To Lose GAME 6 Of The WORLD SERIES…

(and eventually the 7TH Game, also)

…But What’s Going To Happen With His Play???

I Suppose You’re Just Going To Have To Watch The Flick To Find Out!!!

😉

While…

GAME 6

…Is Not My Favorite Baseball-Themed Flick…

…It Really Was A Joy To Kick-It-Back And Watch It.

As I Said Before…

…It’s Quirky…

…It’s Off-Beat…

…And It’s Pretty Damned Original.

For Fans Of Flicks That Try To Turn A Classic Subject/Theme Into Something NEW…

…I Can Easily Recommend This Little Number.

Having Always Been A Major League Fan Of…

MICHAEL KEATON

(still my favorite BATMAN ever)

…I Went Into This Flick Not Knowing What To Think/Expect, But I Was Hopeful.

Once It Was Over…

…I Gave It A Day…

…Then I Watched It Again.

The Repeat Viewing Only Confirmed To Me What I’d Originally Thought.

I LIKED IT…

…And…

…I’D WATCH IT AGAIN!!!

.Period.

What More Could I Ask For, Ya Know?!?

The Flick Did What It Was Supposed To Do.

That’s Good Enough For ME.

Is That Good Enough For YOU, Also?!?

I Should Hope So!!!

😉

(Not So) Random Movie Mention: DOUBLE SHOT Edition: WHITE NOISE (2005) and WHITE NOISE 2 (2007)

Okie Dokie, Honestly, I Originally Saw The 1ST "WHITE NOISE" For One Reason... ...I Love MICHAEL KEATON. Period.

…Then…

I Honestly Saw "WHITE NOISE 2" For TWO Reasons... ...I Love Love Love NATHAN FILLION, and I Sincerely Wanted To See HOW They'd Follow-Up The 1ST "WHITE NOISE" Flick. Period Period.

What’s The Skinny???

Well…

…I DID Enjoy…

WHITE NOISE

…I Really DID.

HOWEVER…

…I Sincerely Felt…

WHITE NOISE 2

…Was…

…VASTLY SUPERIOR…

…To…

WHITE NOISE

…Big Ole…

PERIOD.

I’d Try To Explain It All…

…But Everyone Has To Have Their OWN Reasons…

…In Regard To Loving OR Hating Something.

At Least…

…They SHOULD.

PERIOD PERIOD PERIOD.

Have You Ever Seen EITHER Of Them???

For Most Of You…

…The Answer Is…

…NO.

SHOULD YOU SEE EITHER OF THEM???

Hmm…

…Well…

…I’m Gonna Go With…

…YES.

Start With…

WHITE NOISE

…And…

…If You Like It Even SLIGHTLY…

…Move On To…

WHITE NOISE 2

…As I Think You’ll Like It SLIGHTLY MORE-SO.

As I Said Before…

…I Love MICHAEL KEATON

…But…

…I Love Love Love NATHAN FILLION.

Is "WHITE NOISE 2" Really BETTER Than "WHITE NOISE"??? In My Opinion, YES. Are They BOTH Fun To Watch??? In My Opinion, YES YES. Should You At Least Give BOTH Flicks The Ole College Try??? In My Opinion, YES YES YES!!!
