Ketchup Series

For all those who look at my random photo, I have recently begun a ketchup series. My creativity is at its height while eating at restaurants, usually waiting for other people to finish. I have a tendency to play with my food (i.e. putting packets of sugar on my remnants of food left on the plate) and to stop this annoying habit, I have decided to take photos. My first study series is the ketchup bottle. Every time I eat somewhere that has ketchup I will take a photo. This is at least once a week. Make sure to catch the series. At the end of the series (thinking 10 pics) I will post a blog with all the pics and start a new study series.

Movies you are afraid to admit you love

I think most people have a movie or two they loved that no one else did and hide that fact. Whether it had bad acting or awful visual effects, there was just something that clicked with your brain and made you think, "This movie is awesome." Of course you wouldn't say that out loud to your friends since they had already ripped the movie to shreds. This post is to those movies that didn't get recognized for the true value you hold to them.

We'll start with a couple of movies I like: Heathers and The Burbs.

Heathers is a movies from 1989 that features Wynona Ryder and Christian Slater in their early days of acting. From the really big shoulder padded jackets to the pretty far fetched plot it was an instant favorite. It may have been that they tricked the meanest girl in school drink Drano. It might have been the awkward phrases they used that still stick in my mind. "That is so very." and "What is your damage?" Who knows? Can we really pinpoint exactly why we like certain movies?

The Burbs, coincidentally enough was also released in 1989. It features Tom Hanks, Corey Feldman and a bunch of other no names as neighbors in a cul-de-sac. The plot revolves around Ray (Tom Hanks), who is taking a week off work to relax around the house. Of course he ends up spying on the weird next door neighbors, the Klopek's. After his dog digs up a femur bone under the fence around the same time that they notice their neighbor Walter is missing they begin to investigate what their neighbors are really up to. The overall plot of the movie, is not bad, but the reason why I love this movie are the little things. From the Military man across the street who eats animal crackers on his roof to the neighborhood teenager who invites his friends over to watch as the neighbors spy on the Klopek's. These are the things that make me watch this movie over and over.
