The
Movielie
The Film Cynic's attempt to relate his
life to the movies.
9/15/05: 
As I travel this weekend to
Rhode Island, birthplace of the Farrelly brothers, I can only wonder if
my older brother's wedding will be filled with any gross-out gags.
Maybe there'll be some pubes in the cake (the non-Farrelly-directed American
Wedding) or the bride will run off with a midget limo driver (Me,
Myself and Irene). Perhaps the filmmaking duo will crash the
reception and display their usual behavior at such events (Anecdotage.com).
Here are some things that I know will not take
place: The lack of a band will prohibit any questionable lyrics
added to cover songs (Old School) and the cash bar should deter
anyone from getting drunk enough to fall into the food (28 Days).
I pray that nobody gets punched (Wedding Crashers), shot (Kill
Bill) or crashes into the building (The Royal Tenenbaums).
Unlike the movies, most weddings are
actually pretty routine. I'm not saying that they're boring -I'm
sure to have a lot of fun saturday -just that nothing as amazing or embarrassing
as you'd see on film. Nevertheless, I do hope to get everyone together
for a huge singalong of "Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In"
(The 40-Year-Old Virgin).
In honor of the special occasion,
here is link to my list of my wedding movie piece for READ: Cinematrimony:
