The movie that we watched is Pillow Talk starring Doris Day.
Pillow Talk is about a boy and a girl who share a party line (if you don't know what that is PLEASE start watching old movies and educate yourself!) and can not stand each other. Brad is a single man who loves the ladies and does everything he can to woo them. However, in order to do this he is constantly on the phone. This drives the other half of the party line, Jan, crazy! She is trying very hard to get who own line so she doesn't have to listen to him anymore. But because this is a romantic comedy, they end up meeting and craziness ensues.
The reason that this is a big movie is because this is the first movie that Clark, Alaina's new born baby, got to watch with his Aunt Daisy!!!!!
He is my dashing boy and I love him! Actually, this challenge and him have a history this year. When Alaina came over to watch the Ginger Rogers film The Gay Divorcee she told me she was pregnant with him. When we watched the Sammy Davis Jr. movie Robin and the 7 Hoods was the first time I got to feel him movie. So, I am very happy that we got to have this movie too!
Anyways, we are going to say that Clark loved it, cause let's face it he can't talk yet to have a say, and let's see what his parents thought shall we?
1. What were your thoughts going into this movie? I didn't know what to think. I didn't think it was going to be funny.
2. What was your favorite part of the movie? Luke interjects "It had a good ending with the running joke of Brad going to the OB's office". Alaina says "Where Jon goes to Connecticut to stop Brad from wooing Jan".
3. Favorite Character? Brad... no wait Rex (if you watch the movie you will understand)
4. Why? Cause he is a hilariously dumb genius.
5. What did you not like about the movie? Luke: MEN ARE SCUM! Alaina: Same...
6. What did you think of Doris Day? I enjoyed her! She was excellent. Luke: I like that she enjoyed being herself. That she was a professional women and liked being herself. She was a "complete women".
7. What do you think of the movie after we have watched it? I really enjoyed it. I would have to say that this is my favorite that we have watched so far. Luke: I give it a 0 out of 10 because were no talking pillows.
8. Would you watch this movie again? Oh yeah! For sure!
9. Would you recommend? Yes.
10. What relevance does this movie have today? Alaina: "Never trust men". Luke from Upstairs: "OI!!!!" Luke comes down stairs to put in his two cents: It dated itself in a bitter sweet way. "I will make you love me" and stuff from the guy. The one part were the guy tries to take advantage of her in the car would be considered more "rape-y" than funny today. However, it was over all a funny film
Well, that was not a bad pick at all film with my dashing boy Clark! I am sure we will be watching many more movies together. If all goes well we will be watching another film next week!
