It's Monday morning technically (after a busy weekend) and I haven't much movie-related to post.
I'll let the images of two quintessential 80's movies recap the daily themes (well, and a caption per).
Since it's late, I'm going to break this down into Yay's and Boo's. Keep it moving.

Friday: Wife not home till after 8pm |
Saturday: Almost 4 hrs at the SC. |
Sunday was Father's Day, so I got to sleep in and sort of lounge around. Kim and Matty got me some sweet Grown Man Sandals, which after some hesitation, I was actually pretty stoked about. Apparently, mystery gift arrives tomorrow, as does week 2 of summer vacation/Daddy Day Care duties. Though reinforcements are arriving from Seattle in the form of my younger sister. Still working on her title. So far, it's AuntiTati.
Anyway, what I did manage to finish on Friday, was 1968's Bullitt. This is a flick I picked up on blu-ray for 5 bucks two Christmases ago. I think most people have heard about the ultimate car chase featured later in the movie, but I was more interested in the legend of Steve McQueen. I don't recall ever having seen him anything and knew that he was iconic. The verdict? Decent. But nothing in the ballpark of spectacular.
This is how I'm going to dress. Forever. |

Yaaaaaay!
- Jacqueline Bisset! She was super-hot. Late-60's fashion was exquisitely featured!
- Opening Title Sequence. Mysterious and funky and altogether badass.
- 90 seconds of Robert Duvall is 90 seconds you better shut-the-hell up.
- No music in the chase scene. Just engines roaring.
- The guy who played the doctor. Dude was hardcore, well, for a doctor.
- Violence. It's PG (yes, I know, no PG-13 back then) and it's not bad.
Boooo!
- Restaurant scene in the beginning? 5 minutes of hard core flute action! Wtf?
- 90 seconds of Duvall? That shit ain't right.
- Steve McQueen. Yeah, I said it. Dude needed to kick some ass. He just stared intently. In a sweater. Yes, he forced those two into the gasoline and match factory, but I wanted some fisticuffs.
- Nudity. I know you're PG, but where are you, random ass-shot? Was sideboob not invented in 1968?
