Have I mentioned that I love #3 Brother to little tiny loveable pieces? I do. I was all bored and fidgety and useless tonight, and when I IMed him, he was too, so he came right over and we watched Hard Core Logo - my fifth time (and second in twenty-four hours - I can's seem to watch it just once) and his first.
This was also the first time I watched it with somebody who didn't know the ending - the first three times I watched it alone (and I'd been spoiled) and yesterday I watched it with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
iuliamentis, who'd been spoiled as well. So watching with #3 Brother was fun, except for the part halfway through where he said, "This makes me want to start a band with my roommate next year." (No, really, that's bad - he has Boondock Saints tats, he has a Memento tat, he wore a rosary around his neck for ages to be like the Murphy boys, he wrote a story assignment 'with yourself as the main character' about The Pianist; this kid takes his movies seriously) But we got to the last scene and he asked if you could download HCL music, and then we got to the end and he just kept saying wow. And I told him he's not allowed to have a mohawk, or a coke habit, though ultimately we concluded that he would be Billy anyway - he's a metrosexual (although I still think that's a really, really dumb word).
But what I actually wanted to say is that, having seen it five times and being ready to play the What Does It All Mean game... Young at Heart. It's the last movie from the movie game, the one that Billy buzzes out all the way into the next scene, presumably for not being cool, after Joe describes it. Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Frank's a real bum, marries Doris, because he's in love with her, but then he thinks he's not good enough for her, and he smashes up his car. Billy says, Oh yeah, I think I know that one. Does he die? And Joe starts to say, Yeah, and then, No, no, he marries Doris and they live happily ever after - and then Billy says Ennnnnnnh all the way to Winnipeg or wherever they're going. Joe offers Billy the happy ending, Billy says it's not cool enough. (Plus, wtf, Joe has seen a Doris Day movie?)
::deep breath:: Not going to write essays about this movie in my spare time. Not.
And does anybody know if there's an actual proper soundtrack to this movie, other than the tribute album? Because I would want that - not just the HCL stuff, but all the incidental music, and Hugh and Callum doing "Waking Up Tired." Mmmmmmhm.
