Best. Movie. Ever.

HOTTTTT.

"This was never about the money, this was about us against the system. That system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. We are here to show those guys that are inching their way on the freeways in their metal coffins that the human sprit is still alive."- Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) in "Point Break."

Last night I was flipping through stations, trying to figure out what I could watch to distract myself from the fact that I really really need to get laid... and soon. I was quite disappointed with the selection: "24: Redemption" was rerunning and I had already seen it, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" was also on- and I decided I would rather bang my head against the wall then watch the insipid goings-on of spoiled 40 something women, there was sports (blah), and other stuff...

... and then I came across this gem playing on our local crap station. "Point Break" is a 1991 movie about an F!B!I! agent named Johnny Utah (I'm so naming my first born son that) played by Keanu Reeves. He goes undercover to catch a band of bankrobbers known as the "Ex- Presidents" because they wear, you guessed it, masks of the ex-presidents. Lead by free spirit Bodhi (played by a buff Patrick Swayze), they are the extreme of extreme and do anything (like rob banks) to support their crazay lifestyle. Gary Busey and John C. McGinley (Perry Cox, MD from "Scrubs") also star. AND there's this awesome scene with a lawnmower.

Needless to say.... it was magnificent.

See, the "point break" is where a wave breaks on a rocky point and is therefore somehow a metaphor for life and robbing banks, I guess.

I don't care what it means, I still cry at the end when they're on the beach... in Austrailia... and Reeves just lets him go out there. Because you have to pay the ultimate price to do that. Or something.

Check it out, it is the most awesomest movie EVER MADE. I shit you not.

Also, check out "Hot Fuzz." Which just adds to the awesomeness because it is one of Danny's (played by Nick Frost) favorite cop movies ("You ever shoot your gun up in the air and gone 'ahhhhh'?") as he explains to Nick Angel (played by the love of my life, Simon Pegg). He is referring to a key scene when Utah chases Bodhi after robbing a bank and has a clear shot at him and doesn't take it... "because he loves him SOOOO much." Of course, later in "Hot Fuzz," this scene is mimiced with hilarious results. Oh those sassy Brits.



(You should watch all of it, but if you are pressed for time then fast forward to 2:03 so you can see what I mean...)

Sorry if this post seems schizophrenic. But that's how I'm feeling going on day 23 of no sex. Like a Schizo off meds.
