Now that I have an HD DVR I am now able to record classic movies and watch them later at my leisure. First up is American Beauty. I just IMDBed Kevin Spacey to see just how many great movies he's been in: Se7en, Swimming with Sharks, Glengary Glen Ross, LA Confidential, The Usual Suspects. He's greatness and Lester Burnham may be his finest role. Lester is a typical frustrated middle-class dude in a sexless marriage. Both his wife and daughter think he's a loser because, well, he is. He becomes resurrected, however, thanks to two of his daughter's friends. Her boyfriend reawakens his confidence through cannabis while her friend Angela reawakens his pants well, through being Mena Suvari.
There really are only two problems with this movie. The crazy Chris Cooper character is just too way over the top. Why does everyone in the military in movies have to be crazy homophobes? The other problem is that the Thora Birch character thinks she has small breasts and is saving for an augmentation surgery. Well she clearly has D-cups. What does she want Qs????
- 4 breasts
- 1 gunshot to the head
- 2 acts of self love
- 1 crazy next door family
- 1 gay next door couple
- Academy Award Nomination to Thora Birch for Best Lopsided Breasts
- Academy Award Nomination to Kevin Spacey cause he's so fucking awesome.

Now that I think all movie characters in the millitary ARE raging homophobes. Except for Matthew Broderick's character in Biloxi Blues...and the two guys who got kicked out for doing each other.
Sometimes I think about those two and wonder if they hooked back up after they were discharged. Probably not because I think they lived really far away from each other.
What about that tender love scene in "Full Metal Brokeback"?
sounds like Kevin Spacey is your biggest man crush since George Clooney
