Being the true Americans we are, we went out to the movies over Memorial Day weekend. We saw the new Terminator movie, but sadly were pretty disappointed. I won't bore you with why or ruin it with any spoilers but just say that it was pretty unmemorable. In fact, we were so un-satiated by it that we walked over to the local Blockbuster and bought a bunch of used DVDs (4 for $20!).
Scott picked out "Tank Girl" for $3.99 and I totally forgot how fun that movie is. First off, I've always had a place in my heart for Lori Petty since she's petite (which I appreciated in my awkward adolescence since I was a late bloomer) and has a cool voice and was in "Point Break" with my beloved. There's also a ton of grunge-tastic music throughout the movie including hits from L7, Bjork (a lot in fact), Veruca Salt, Belly, Portishead, Bush, Hole... (ok, some are better than others), now that I'm listing them, a ton of women rock which makes sense with the whole theme of the movie. Man, I miss good, hard, lady rock. Belly, L7, and Veruca Salt were so good! Damn. Total nostalgia. It also features a young Naomi Watts and Ice-T as the leader of a gang of crazy underground creatures. It will take you back!
