I like to poke holes in the top of my water bottle cap so I can drink it in a peculiar way. (april.1)

Nice title right? I thought you'd think that. It's just a lot funner, and it makes it seem like the water is never ending! This blog, and possibly the next blog, are going to be summaries of movies I have seen recently. First off, let's start with the movie I saw today. Side note: You'll notice that a majority of the movies on here are old, I have quite the collection of VHS's at my house. I love old things, not saying they're that old but they're old enough to where I'd want them. Back to the point, I finished 'Better Off Dead' this afternoon. This was quite the incredible movie, I must admit. On my top 20 favorite movies, that's for sure. It was about this guy Lane Myer who really enjoyed to ski. The beginning of the show shows him trying out for the ski team at his high school, he would have made it if this Jock-butt face would've pressed the time down when Lane really did cross the finish line. He was '2 seconds off' when he really made it down the mountain just in time. One of the first things you learn about Lane, however, is his obsessive love for his girlfriend Beth Truss. He has these freaky neighbors, the mother is kind of milfy (kind of like a cougar if you for some reason don't know the definition of this it's a 40+ year old woman who prowls for younger men and attempts to look younger but completely fails.) but the son is just the chubbiest nerdiest kid you could possible think of. I thought this was going to be a waste of time, just a dumb movie from the eighties. I was wrong, this is a fantastic movie! As you continue watching a new, french foreign exchange student moves into the family he lives across from (the chubby family). They say she can't speak a single word of english, but about a little past half way through the movie we come to find that she only did that because "it's better to not talk at all, in a family such as theirs." (or something close to that) He was completely devastated when Beth broke up with him, she was his world, he attempted suicide many times. They were silly attempts because he'd realize shortly after he tried to kill himself that it's a bit dramatic and maybe he should reconsider what he's going to do to himself. Beth left Lane for the ski captain in the ski high school group. I believe she realizes her mistake later on in the movie with realizing how big of a jerk the guy is to everyone, especially Lane but the movie never verifies if that is true or not. Lane and the french foreign exchange student start to hang out a lot (especially after he finds out she speaks English) fall in love, just like all the viewers of this movie thought would happen. She's a very pretty girl, if you haven't seen this movie and would like to see how pretty she is her real name is Diane Franklin. Such a beautiful 80's woman!
