Thoughts on watching "The Pick-Up Artist"

[vr_trakowski]

Part of my general pattern of love a character, look up what else the actor has done.  Thank you, Netflix.


Oh, the eighties. 

She's a redhead, snerk.  Strawberry blonde at that.  And actually reasonably dressed, given the era. 

He does do well with kids! 

He's wearing his watch on the left wrist this time. 

Elvis?  He's singing Elvis?  I'm terrified.  

Good heavens, the man is hyper. 

Let's see, meaningless similarities--hair, classic car, womanizing...cheeseburgers... 

I love Ms. Ringwald's skin.  Luminous. 

"I'm the amateur."  Hee! 

I suppose this is one of the films during which Mr. Downey was high.  I can't really tell.  *eyeroll*  

Who was it said eyes like a Jersey cow?  So very true... 

This is one silly movie, and its attitudes about women are wince-making.  But it does have its moments. 

(My father has seen Ms. Ringwald's father perform a time or two.  Dad says he's quite good.)

He was! He bounces like a rubber ball.

After reading a couple of recent interviews, I wonder how much of that is true freakiness and how much is simply a mischievous desire to see how much he can get the interviewer to swallow.

I think HftH is on my list. I try not to look at Netflix too often, because then I start salivating and whimpering.

Yeah, a good percent of it must be a way to not be bored in ennnnndless boring press junkets.

I suspect he bores easily, too.
