"I was in another world.... A world of, twenty thousand girls...."
And, no, I'm not calling for the 'frontier psychiatrist'.... Although there will be extreme rambling ahead.... I just think that it's funny. I really was in a different world. To think that "The Matrix" and "The Phantom Menace" were *also* released in 1999....
The very same year.... The *time* was the same-- but it was in a different world....
But, you know, I'm thinking that I like this world better.
And, you know, at one point I almost got to like George Takei-- I guess that that's halfway between thinking that Patrick Stewart or one of the real captain guys are the best, and thinking that the best sci-fi flicks are the ones that Ben Stiller is in on-- but one of the things that really did it for me is when I read about how George snuck away from "Star Trek" during the hiatus to do this wacko Vietnam movie with John Wayne.... that was like, wow, all these political drama queens really *are* all the same.... And he got what he deserved, too, because he made it back late, and they had to invent another character to fill in for him, who stuck around to dig into his screen time.... Which must have been easy, really, to invent another one of him, because all of those bridge officers were freakin' carbon copies, anyway.... That's why all the three real characters wanted to do was get off the bloody bridge-- thus the impossible improbable away team with every scrap of command talent in it, lol.... And, at the end of it, even Spock wrote a book called, "I Am Not Spock", because it's just all so damn embarrassing, when you really look at it.... To be honest, it's really way more cool to watch Ben Stiller fight Jonah Hill with a flashlight....
And, now, I think that I'd even take a Jerry Stiller commercial, or Jerry Seinfeld, for that matter over.... well, *any* war-in-space, really.
But, the point being, that hearing about *that* escapade put a pretty deep dent into my respect for George, but when I realized that Alyson Hannigan-- in 1999 still only the *future* Lily Aldrin-- spent her time away from the vamp killer, or whatever she called herself, to be in "American Pie"....
It was like she created a whole other world.... a 'brand new day'.
"I may be numerless; I may be innocent
I may know many things; I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings, and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards, and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as Fortune's child, to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief,
I've kept this single faith; I have but one belief:
I still love you
I still want you...."
*smiles*
*smile lingers*
*sighs*
*laughs*
{Shit, and I didn't even *realize* that "Brand New Day" was *also* released in 1999....
OMG, and "Frontier Psychiatrist" was recorded in 1999 and released 2000.... Wow, the gods are being *entirely too helpful* right now-- this is kinda creepy....}
{Other thoughts: And Alyson Hannigan is in band! *I* was in band! And I didn't take Latin; I took French. ^^
And, okay, official spoiler: Carlisle kills Dumbledore. :P
No, really. Watch this movie. Now you know what it's like with Dumbledore as your father. Now imagine Carlisle as your father. Difference? Yes.
And, you know what they say-- apple pie. It's as American as.... *American Pie*.}
And, you know, "American Pie" is what it is-- it's an average movie. {I mean, this is *not* "The 40-Year-Old Virgin"-- that movie is a *classic*.}
But it's an average movie that I like, and thoroughly approve of.
Because it's about the real world-- and even the mighty old gods must live in the real world.... even if it has been a thousand years since.
So, there's that, you know.
