Movies

Not new ones......old ones.

We spent a quiet evening at home. I was going to sit at the computer in the living room after dinner when DH turned the TV to a movie channel that was playing "Young Frankinstein." One of our sons decided to watch with us.

Are you familiar with the phenomenon of "Rocky Horror Picture Show? People dress up as the characters and go to midnight showing and shout out their character's lines. Well......we had a mini version of that going on for "Young Frankenstein."

The movie started while I was around the corner in the kitchen, and when I heard the opening music, I filled in the three note half-step French horn part, and walked in to sit down. One by one we piped up with the lines as they came along...

Roll, Roll Roll in the hay
Where wolf? There wolf....
Frau Blucher
PUT THE CANDLE BECK!
Abe Normal.....
and so on.

I didn't realize that I've memorized the movie. Clearly, it's a family favorite. I have it on VHS and on DVD, so we'll have to try this again when the whole family is around.

I can see a new Christmas tradition starting. *G*

OH, Rocky! Wat 'ump? What did you get from the monster?
Yup. Have both Rocky and YF. Glad to see I'm not the only one in the world with those kind of tastes.
Now, do you like Monty Python?

You're in good company. DH is very fond of the Python movies, and we watched the series reruns for years!

I'd watch anything with John Cleese, so Fawlty Towers, A Fish Called Wanda, and Fierce Creatures are all favorites.
