Ok, let me explain. This post might seem a little odd because there are going to be a lot of references to TV shows a movies and it might seem all over the place but in reality my Best Friend Alaina will get a kick out of it.
Anyways, now that your fair warning is out of the way let me explain a few things. I love Alaina, I have mentioned her several times on this blog. I love her SO FREAKING MUCH! However, Alaina and I are very opposite. Yes, we are both loud. Yes, we are both slightly crazy. Yes, we are both nerds. No, we do not like everything the same. We do a few things. Like our love for the movie Tangled.
Our other love for the movie The Princess Bride.
and our love for TV shows such a "Friends" or "Psych". We both love to travel and see new places and we are both homebodies at the same time. We love doing our own thing and love doing stuff together. As much as we are similar we are also VERY DIFFERENT!
I seem to think of something new every day! Fashion, I am a little out there. I have big crazy sparkley jewelry, and her is more subtle and sophisticated. I love sunsets and she loves sunrises. I am more of a night person she is more of a day person.
I have known this girl fro 11 years now and let me tell you we do everything differently! Even of the things we love we love differently. I will give you "Psych" as an example.
If anyone has ever seen this show it is generally a really light hearted show. It's funny, well written, smartly written actually, and the characters are genuine enough to relate to but zany enough to love their antics. Now, with every great TV show you have to have the general format of the show and expand a little past that to keeps things interesting. So, something they might do is get awesome guest stars and sometimes you take the show in a little bit different of a direction for a few episodes to add depth to the characters that you would not be able to get any ways else. Sometimes the guest star and the different turn happen on the same time...
For "Psych" it does not. Alaina's favorite episodes of "Psych" are the ones that have the Sauvé guest star of Cary Elwes playing the role of Despereaux.
As for me...
I am a sunshiny girl who has a very weird fascination of the dark side. That was one of the things I love about when "Psych" did episodes with a huge arch rivals Yin and Yang. Those episodes get very dark and had to push characters to points were they thought they could no longer take it. It gets drastically dark compared to the normal light heartiness of show. I love it because it's so much like real life. Everyone gets to a point where everything is tested at once and you can see how much strength you really have and how much you can really put you faith in something. It also makes you question the character that you think you know. It questions their morals and what they really believe and you can't do that if you have the same thing in your shows and movies all the time... I think that is why I have become entranced with Loki in the Marvel movies lately because you can't figure him out.....
I totally got off course... However, I don't care because I know Alaina will love it when she sees it ONE OF THESE DAYS!!
Any who, so Alaina and I are different. One of the biggest differences is what we prefer in our forms entertainment. This girl loves, and I mean loves music. She is someone who can have it on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year and not get tired of it. Me.... I listen to music in my car and rarely anywhere else. I am just not in love with it how she is. However, movies are my love.
A few years ago when I was living with my parents my bedroom was covered in all things classic movies. I had posters of classic films and pictures of classic actors on my wall. One day Alaina was hanging out with me and I was talking about some movie, like normal. She said it sounded interesting and she said she would like to do watch it sometime.
I came up with this idea to give her a movie education. I had 19 classic Hollywood stars in my room and I told her that I was going to make her watch a least one movie from every actor on my wall! She liked the idea and I loved it.
Well, here it is 2018 and it's been a least 3 years since we made this plan and how many have we done in that time? Two.
That's right two. Life kinda got in the way. She went off to do a missions tour, came home after two years away and then got married. There have been lots of changes and things are finally seeming to be a little less crazy and her and I are getting back into a groove. So, we decided that we are going to finally tackle this list but we are going to start all over again. Because since it's been so long I remember what actors we did but not what movies.
I have also added a few actors to the list that she needs to experience.
So, Along with my Tom Hanks Hustle and my Year of Courage I will also be adding this list to the mix!
So, with that being said...
22 actors, 22 movies, in about 12 months time, we will show 1 girl a whole new world of movies. I dub this year Alaina's Trial by Movies!!!!
This is gonna be so much fun!
