Olde Living
1) The Boss’ Cameo in High Fidelity - You wouldn’t believe how excited I was when the Boss showed up in this flick. Sometimes when I have a problem I like to ask the Boss for advice. He never steers me wrong. How’s the tone coming out of that tele and fender twin!?
2) Counting with Bruce Springsteen from the Ben Stiller Show - I know, more Boss. I could easily fill up an Olde Living with all Boss entries. Ben came through in Tropic Thunder and his part on Extras, but he had been hit or miss for a couple years. This is a throwback to when he was young and going for it.
3) Nicholas Cage’s Monologue in Moonstruck - The scene where Cher and Nicholas Cage meet for the first time is cinematic gold. 23 year old Nick Cage going off about how his fiance left him after he was maimed. Dude hates life in the most hilarious way. Before he started doing all these weird action adventure flicks remember he was in films like Raising Arizona. To this day that bakery scene still cracks me up.
4) Sucking at Pool - I know its pretty slick to walk into a bar or pool hall and destroy everybody, but what about sucking so bad your game takes 2 hours and the people waiting give up and leave the joint? I wanna say that I am the worst pool player I know. Ask my friends its ridiculous. I make sucking at pool look like an art form. I get a kick out of people rolling their eyes over and over again. Every once in a while I’ll get the “Are you serious?” That’s the best. Sucking at Pool; that’s Olde Living at its finest baby. Oh, being pretty bad at parallel parking and taking terrible pictures of people and uploading them so they get embarrassed is Olde Living too. Save a few entries and throw those in there.
5) Buying your friends Wu-tang Action Figures for Christmas - Do I need to explain this? They can thank me later.
