It was naps and citrons chauds all day, and then CC phoned and made me laugh so hard I could feel the phlegm vibrating in my throat.
Oh, Jazon, so I mentioned our “Ladyhawke” screening to my sister, and she said, “Oh, Matthew Broderick? Rutger Hauer? Michelle Pfeiffer? And during the day she turns into a hawk and during the night he turns into a wolf?” and when I got done marveling at all the things in her head and asked how she knew so much about the movie, she said, “It is very famous.”
The “Ladyhawke” screening story, for all of you who are not Jazon, is that last night Jazon invited us over for dinner and this nutso movie, which was so utterly one of the best ways ever to end a day spent in the library.
(Meanwhile, the story about being invited to the “Ladyhawke” screening is that Jazon had said, So come over and watch “Ladyhawke,” and, because I have no shame, I’d said, “Yay, and are you making us dinner?”)
I think Maud summed it up in her thank-you e-mail today, which read, in part: “This movie is the kitchiest piece of shit I have ever seen in my life, but it was entertaining.” True on all counts, plus the movie came accompanied by homemade chicken enchiladas and black beans and carrot rice, and a tableful of dessert, featuring such sweet treats as pear tart, dark chocolate ice cream, and almond cream cake. Jazon, where has your house been all my life?
“Ladyhawke,” my god, where did Matthew Broderick find that accent? And do he and Sarah Jessica Parker sit around and watch the movie for laughs? Or is it one of those things that one is banned from speaking of in their cozy West Village home? My friend Lurlene said that Amy Sedaris is good friends with Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, and that sometimes Amy Sedaris leaves prank phone messages on their answering machine; I wonder if sometimes those prank phone messages are the heart-rending cries of a lovelorn bird of prey. Maybe sometimes Amy Sedaris stands outside their cozy West Village home and makes heart-rending cries of a lovelorn bird of prey, then when Matthew Broderick or Sarah Jessica Parker comes to the door, she says, “Ha-ha,” and offers up a platter of cupcakes.
Or maybe I’m just all hepped up on citrons chauds.

hahaha... I can't believe you've never seen Ladyhawke before... that so outs you. Anybody growing up in North America with cable knows this film. And even nicer piece of trivial knowledge is how the evil Bishop in Ladyhawke played the Duke of Northumberland in Lady Jane, one of the first films with Cary Elwes and Helena Bonham Carter. That's a wacky period piece film if I ever saw one.
In the mystical medieval genre, this one's a good choice... I'm such a fan of this kind of stuff. You remember Legend? With Tom Cruise? Classic!
before i got to the end of the post, i somehow knew it was leading up to amy sedaris. we love her!

Nardac: Oh, the evil bishop... he was SO EVIL. Evilicious. Evilled eggs. Stop me, please.
So, but, Cary Elwes, huh? So he went from Helena Bonham Carter to Robin Hood: Men in Tights.... A step up? Maybe....
And, um, cue the outing music, I haven't seen Legend. Is there a dwarf in it? Why do I think there's a dwarf in it? OK, I have just gone to imdb.com and found (a) the tagline "No Good without Evil. No Love without Hate. No Innocence without Lust. I am Darkness." and (b) that Tim Curry is in this movie. Surely I must watch this very soon. Et en plus...Hector, tu lis ?? Il y a un licorne dans ce film !! :-p
Hallo, Laureen!! But how did you know, Miss Clever? Is it because all roads lead to Amy Sedaris?? :-) And when is she going to Google herself already, and find this, and give us a call??
no offense, but could it be that your sister is the cultured one of the family?
next movie night should be all about "legend." i remember a red, horned evil thing. and a pre-scientology tom cruise.

dude. i used to watch ladyhawk once a week when i was a kid. i own it, and the limitted edition soundtrack (by, yes, alan parsons project). maud thinks this makes me a freak. whatever.

hey, jazon: wait, so, post-scientology, tom cruise lost the rosacea and the horns? ah ha ha ha.
um, karen, i don't think maud's the only one who thinks you're a freak. :-p no, but, really? once a week? well, but that was just till labyrinth came out, right?
