From the Proceedings of the Lazy Eye Film Society, Fall 2010
The poutine was steaming, the smoked meat was wicked tasty, a two-four of Labatt's was in the fridge, and the Chesterfield was extra comfy. Many thanks to Emma and Paul for a beauty of a movie night hosting job. Way to go, eh?
So we watched PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES. Reviews for the movie were somewhat mixed, though we all agreed that John Hughes's musical choices in the film were clearly beyond reproach.
After the movie, while munching on Emma's delicious nanaimo bars, we voted. The theme for this month's selections was Revenge of the Nerds. Here are the selections:
So our movie for next time will be SPELLBOUND, the documentary about the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Because we had a tie on the voting for our theme, the theme for next time's selections will be a combination theme: RomComs (romantic comedies) featuring Bizarre Shit!
