I think I’ve done it. Honestly. It’s 9:15 PM ET. I’m sitting at home in front of the computer. I’m watching a Chevy Chase movie. “Funny Farm.”
I’ve always loved Chevy Chase movies. I don’t understand why. When I was briefly engaged in the mid-90’s that ex and I had this weird fantasy of being like the Griswald family from the “Vacation” movies. Honestly, I’m glad that relationship didn’t end in marriage. Though I’d probably be divorced by now and in a different place than I am now …
Anyway, I’ve seen this movie about a hundred times. At the end, when the whole town is attempting to be something out of a Norman Rockwell painting at Xmastime, it’s beautiful and I love it. The rest of the movie?
I always thought that Bruce Springsteen’s ex-wife plays the wife in this movie. Looking now on IMDB.com, it seems that I’m wrong. Wow. It was Madolyn Smith. That’s a trip. I always assumed she was Julianne Phillips. I remember seeing this movie on TV in the early 90’s (it came out in 1988) and thinking how lucky Springsteen was before he divorced her. I’m not normally wrong about these things. I have a great memory, but lol, I DO know that Madolyn Smith was Roy Schieder’s young bride in “2010.” There, that’s it, the insanity didn’t take hold. Yet.
Spoiler warning … not that anyone cares.
What’s weird is that I’m looking at this movie and I can see how much the world has changed since 1988. Everyone has cel phones now. You can download directions on the Internet now to just about any address in the world. Most people who are writing books do it by computer and are in constant touch with their editors. Even way out in the country like I am. So there goes 2/3rds of this movie.
Oh well. I’m back to going insane. If I’m already nuts, please tell me.
