wait until dark and you'll be 17 again

yesterday was a day off and a two movie day. first off was wait until dark, which i watched during the day. it's a 1968 audrey hepburn movie and netflix picked out for me because i watched the heart is a lonely hunter with alan arkin and it thought i'd like some more alan arkin, which i did. i'm pretty in love with him and it's great to see him young. although he hasn't changed that much. men are tricky like that.

but, wait until dark wasn't that good. it was a play and it's about this crazy, beatnik drug guy who is looking a doll stuffed with heroine that ended up in this couple's apartment. arkin enlists two guys to help him and they have all these crazy characters and stuff to trick audrey, who's freshly blind, into giving them the doll. the sneaking around stuff is cool, but in the beginning she has some really cheesy lines to her husband about how much she loves him and stuff. really bad stuff. i couldn't tell if she was suppose to sound like the most pathetic, desperate pushover that ever lived or if something got lost in time. but, it was better once we got past all that lameness.

and last night it was time for 17 again. it's the one were a middle-aged guy unhappy with his life wakes up in his 17-year-old body. i haven't seen any of the high school musical movies, but sometimes it kills me not to know about all that teenage, pop culture stuff, so i got 17 again. zac efron might be too young for me to be attracted to him, which is actually pretty reassuring. the movie was not very good and matthew perry is not aging well. i'd like to think that the movie addressed some interesting social issues about pedophilia when the adult wife is kind of hot for her husband who is now her teenage husband but she doesn't know it's him. but, i don't think that's what it was all about. the best part was really that at the end when they have the credits, they have those people's high school pictures with their names and the director was a total fox. maybe the hottest guy in the movie. so, maybe i can be attracted to 18-year-olds. oh shit.
