PriSciLLa's EarThLy DeLights

{ Priscilla says: As it should be!}

I LOVE movies.

It surprises even Moi, sometimes,

how many freakin movies I have seen~

a  freakin lot!

Movies are one of the ultimate Holiday units,

be a Self Day Holiday

or a Womb Fruit Holiday

or better yet, a Date Holiday

{cause everyday should be a holiday, or at least once a week}

This is just a sampling of KeLLy's Frontier's must~have movies;
at the very least, must~have seen movies.
Many of these I discovered back in the days of
IFC before they went all, like, ABC.
They had some kick ass movies then.

*The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert
*Grandmas' Boy
*Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrel
*Tank Girl
*Bubble Boy
*Saving Grace
*Price of Milk
*Gross Pointe Blank
*Four Rooms

*Jaws

*West World

*Jurassic Park

*Die Hard

*Legend

*Muriel's Wedding

*Night on Earth

*Mystery Train

*Saturday Night Fever

*Young Frankenstein

*Four Rooms

*Eurotrip

*One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
*Lost Boys

*Sleeper

*Invasion of the Body Snatchers {both versions}

Since I  just want to share my faves,
I won't go into a rant about the
demise of IFC {sigh}
and other disasters {remakes anyone?}

oh look, the movie's starting..
Shhhh.

Magnificient Movie Marathon Holiday

 Yes, yes indeed.

What a fine day.

The Mates and Me

have been waiting 3! months for this day...

an all day Movie Marathon.

 The only thing that

could have made this better 

would have been to see it in pajamas. 

We read Hugo Cabret last summer and fell in LoVe with it.

The book was edgier than the movie,
and there were some comic relief scenes not from the book,
but the visuals were stunning.

If you have any child on your Present List that LoVes to read,

then get this book. 

{We also discovered recently Wonderstuck, Brian Selznick's newest book.}. 

Then we found out about the movie.

Shazam!

In that continuing wave of movie goodness, 

The Muppets announce a new movie.

What? 

Oh Yeah!...

We Are Muppets!

and both movies opened on the same day.
So both movies we must see.
The kids were on Cloud 9....

I laughed... a lot.

So did my WombMates.

and The Chook Man.

The biggest complaint I had was

that in trying to fit in so much Muppetness, 

many of the scenes were way too short

{think: Animal's drum scene....waaayyy to short}

What a Treat~

two movies in the same day.

and of course, I wore OPI's Meep Meep Meep polish in honor of this day!

Lagniappe: Both movies were a hit!

maniacal laugh; maniacal laugh; maniacal laugh....

Holiday Movies ~ Traditional and a few New

The ULTIMATE Holiday Movie!!

We all know the Classics.

We LoVe them

because they are The Classics.

Every so often, 

a new one will pOp up

that I like enough to add

to My List.

Some of the Newer Ones that I look forward to:

A Season For Miracles

*************

I've been a fan of Carla Gugino since Son In Law.

I actually didn't discover this movie til a few years ago

even though it was released in 1999.

Holiday in Handcuffs

*************

 Melissa Joan Hart...just sayin.

Quirky as always,

cheesy romance,

CHRISTMAS!

Friends and Lovers

************

 although, not technically a Christmas Movie,

its set during the Holidays.

Reminds Me of back in the day,

all The Singles gathering together,

Wynter Road Tripps.

Relationships..

Of course, the Classics:

*************

A Muppet's Christmas Carol

Scrooged

Elf

A Christmas Story

and what isn't there to LoVe about

It's a Wonderful Life

Damn, yes it is, yes it is!

dEPSPICABLE ME

oh.

my.

gawd.

Laugh Fest.

The 1/8 Scale Model Mini Human Bits,

or, aka: Our Kids!

have been bouncing off the walls since 

they first saw the trailer for this.

The Man and I,

aka: The Parents....

wanted to go see it because Our Daughter 

totally nailed the "its so fluffy".

if we didn't know better,

We'd swear She has a secret life as a Cartoon Voice.

hey, stranger things have happened...

Family Time was enjoyed by all.

AND!

the theater had SNOW CAPS!!

or should I say~

SNEAUX CAPS.

Our theaters here quit carrying them for some reason,

and I just can't quite find the right chocolate candy

to marry with my butter, butter, buttered PoPcorn.

That made it worth the trip just for that.

Fourth of July Fun~day

 Lazy Day.

The Man, Womb Fruits and I are heading en masse 

to the theater for a little Air bender.

Afterwards, some CoFFee and Pastry at ze favorite Java Shop.

Back home to get comfortable as in, in our boxers before sundown.

A vintage Abbott and Costello The Time of Their Lives 

{a Fourth of July tradition for The Man} 

 Then to the backyard to watch fireworks. 

We can see them from the mississippi river.

and don't have to fool with the crowd.

Crowd of Heat

Crowd of People

Crowd of Crowd...

all gone, with a wave of my GLiTTeR wAnd.

Have a Safe, Fun, Relaxing

Fourth of July, pEEps!!

Muppets from Space

MuPPets

Space

One LoVe

nuff said.

• Gonzo: Now we can go meet my alien brothers at Cape Doom.
  Kermit: Uh, what makes you think that aliens are landing there, Gonzo?
  Gonzo: Oh, a sandwich told me. 

Firefly and Serenity

Now that the Hottness is upon us,  its a perfect excuse to lounge
and check out some Hottness of another kind.

The theme is again Firefly, 

here we are with another of my favorite Fireflies....

only one of THE BEST series to ever grace fox's channel, 

{that they were so dumb to let go!}

A mini~ summer~ vegetable.on.the.couch.not.in.the.garden~ viewing marathon Holiday.

Since Fireflies come out at night lets make this a late afternOOn / Night time thingy.

Make some Melted Brie and Bread,

a pot of Earl Grey,

Turkish Sour CheRRies,

Candles,

Incense.....

Invite some Friends,

{bOOyaH!}

Righteous.

Firefly and Serenity are just enough sci~fi for me.

A buffed up kick arse version of Briscoe County Jr.

Sit back, press play, and Enjoy.

The Iron Giant

 

With Hurricane season upon us, here in the South, 

We get a lot of hazy hot days 

with bursts of {usually} late afternoon showers, 

only for the sun to come out and 

bake that rain into a labor~breathing humidity.

Like today! 

Which means The Womb Fruits might be stuck inside....sigh.

No forcing them out until lunch;

No yelling at them that they better have an arm missing 

to come back in the house 

{but don't get blood on my newly mop & glowed kitchen floor!!}

Having one of those days?

I'm Lucky. 

My Womb Fruits are fairly easy to please,

so on days when they have to sit inside
and wait it out,

here's a great! movie to pop in. 

The Iron Giant

I LoVe this movie

The Chuck Man even LoVes this movie.
So do the Womb Fruits.

Its beginner Sci~F;

It has a RoBoT;

Its Cartoonimated;

Its Funny;

Its heartwarming;

ITS GOT VIN DIESEL AS THE GIANTS VOICE!!

{Rock ON! }

So don't sweat it. 

Turn it into an AfternOOn~with.the.works~Family Movie Holiday.

Throw in some ChoCoLate milk,
air~popped PoPcorn,
a couple of Twinkies

and You have it made in the shade;

well, a/c anyway.

What do you have to lose ??

Afterall,

the Mop and Glo isn't dry yet!
