Rainy days and oh wait, it IS Sunday
Allow me to admit to a guilty pleasure.
I love the 5th Element. The Science fiction movie starring the super hot Bruce Willis and that Italian model Milla Jovovich. The entire cast wears amazing clothing designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier and the film can easily be shrugged off as Hollywood fluff if you refuse to watch it with an open mind.
I prefer to watch it as a warning. A warning that the world will be inhabited by exquisitely dressed supermodels and action stars saving the world from ultimate disaster. A warning that someday, we’ll live in pods stacked high into the sky and struggle with driving in a 3 dimensional world (as if the 2-dimensional world isn’t hard enough).
Flipping thru the channels, snuggled up on my couch with my faithful bitch Stella taking up most of it, I happened across said favorite film and dropped the remote with glee onto the coffee table. There was less than 45 minutes left in the movie, and I usually hate coming into a movie after it begins, but I’ve seen this movie so many times, it was like I had just pressed play after taking a break to run to the kitchen for some popcorn. I was a tad upset that I had just missed the performance by “The Diva” a blue opera singer as its one of my favorite scenes, but I recovered quickly enough with the action scenes kicking into high gear.
Please don’t judge me harshly for this. At least I’m not telling you that my favorite movie has Famous Actor Tom Cruise ™ starring in it.
