Blog out the Noise
Before having a baby, I was a part of the film world,a sundance regular, a self named ‘indi-wood princess, essentially a film snob. I would watch not only foreign movies but only foreign movies such as ‘italian-fifties only’ or ‘scandinavia-only if it’s new Denmark, old Sweden and those two Finnish brother’. I would rather have chewed my own liver out of my body than watch anything with the initials J.Lo in it and the thought of paying for any movie much less one with Jim Carry –chinese water torture first please…

HOWEVER, now that I have a baby and the attention span of flea (ADD is nothing compared to mommy amnesia), I am not only in desperate need of cheap light hearted entertainment…I find I will not only watch, but love anything which anyone might refer to as ‘retarded’. Formulaic Romance story, light hearted yet completely contrived comedies where I already know what all the jokes will be before the roll of the intro credits – FANTASTIC! The more the merrier. Yesterday, I PAID to watch a film with Queen Latifa! Not to dis’ the Queen, because I like her but not as much as say Bette Davis or Liv Ullmann! But IN MOMMYVISION….She gets my Oscar vote! Recently, I even watched the entirety of Sara Jessica Parkers films…and I’d highly recommend them to anyone with an under 2.
