Do you remember that one kid you had a huge crush on when you were an impressionable teen? Then the kid made a nasty comment that stuck with you for the rest of your life? I most certainly do! His name was Jose and if you’re reading, I haven’t forgotten what you said! Anyhow, I was hurt. Badly. I wished on every shooting star and birthday candle that he would fall in love with me so that I could reject him and hurt him right back. Of course, that never happens and that’s why we are here, seeking alternative forms of therapy while we sit on our couches wishing we could STILL break his (or her) heart.
This week, the Netflix Instant Movie you should be watching is Dogfight (1991), starring River Phoenix and Lili Taylor. He plays a jerk; she plays a sweet naïve girl (does this scenario sound familiar?) who gets treated like dirt and, of course, he falls for her. Here is why this movie is the living end while eating cookies dunked in milk:
1. It’s Lili Taylor! She’s fantastic in everything she’s ever done. She played a very convincing nut job in I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) and weirdo chef/wife in HBO’s Six Feet Under (2002-2003).
2. It takes place in 1960′s San Francisco, California. You know that was the happening place in the ’60′s. All the cute & smart boys were there protesting or something.
3. I know this sounds like a total cliché but I’m going to say it anyway: there are Marines. I like a boy in uniform.
4. This is quite possibly the best performance of River Phoenix’s short-lived career.
5. If you don’t normally watch indie films, this is a good place to start.
Let us forget the nasty little boy who traumatized us for life for at least tonight and pretend that he did fall in love with us. Did you fall in love right back or break his heart?

Finding the village barn may not have been much of a challenge for my German removal firm, but carting my awkwardly shaped belongings up the narrow staircase in the barn certainly was! For long term storage it is important to take up very little space as you possibly can by stacking items upwards and also to keep belonging safe and dry. The next time I shall certainly invest in green, recyclable boxes when moving house again.
Good weblog. All posts have a process to learn. Your hard work is very good and i enjoy you and wanting for some more informative posts.
Your website certainly isnt boring! Look at incredible amount comments you’re getting.
Thanks for your thoughts. One thing we’ve noticed is that banks as well as financial institutions have in mind the spending routines of consumers and understand that a lot of people max out and about their credit cards around the holiday seasons. They smartly take advantage of this real fact and then start flooding your own inbox as well as snail-mail box by using hundreds of no interest APR credit cards offers immediately after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that should you be like 98% of the American open public, you’ll rush at the possible opportunity to consolidate credit card debt and transfer balances to 0 APR credit cards.
Woah this weblog is wonderful i like studying your articles. Keep up the great paintings! You already know, many persons are hunting round for this info, you can aid them greatly.
Moving home in Germany is extremely expensive, indeed the few miles from my little village to the barn cost me 2000.00 Euros, as much as it might have cost me with a UK removal firm to transport my household goods completely from Wales to southern Germany. Labour costs in Germany make moving house very expensive, perhaps one of the reasons why the labour marketplace is stiffer – people would rather stay there once they’ve gone to live in a place.
Hello, Nice job! I saw this really great post today.
