This week's theory comes to us from a friend and former colleague of mine.
I Have a Theory...
...that movies are never as enjoyable as they were when you were 16.
Apparently while watching Inception he was picking apart scenes and concepts as ridiculous, when a 16 year old would be content with it just being awesome.
It reminds me of a comment about Rocky from my favorite comedian, Gary Gulman:
Gary Gulman - Rocky
Song of the Day
So speaking of looking at life through the eyes of a kid, the movie Elf was on today and it is just a fantastic Christmas movie. The song of the day was featured in the movie and i'm sure most of you have heard this song before, "Baby, it's Cold Outside." I want to feature it for two reasons. First of all, i'm not sure how it got to be a Christmas song. There's no mention of Christmas or the holidays in it at all. In fact it's just a dead-cold of winter song. How come you don't hear it in February? Second of all, isn't the song borderline sexual harassment/precursor to date-rape? Seriously, no means no, buddy! How is this a holiday song?!
Probably because it gives me that warm feeling inside every time i hear it.
In honor of feeling like a kid again during the holidays, the song of the day is "Baby, it's Cold Outside" sung by Zooey Deschanel and Will Ferrell in Elf.
Here is the original recorded version by Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer:
