Movie night

These last few weeks I’ve been on a mission.

I can’t remember what actually prompted this seemingly fruitless search, but all I do know is that I’m not alone. There are other’s ‘out there’ who shared in my quest, who recognized truth and beauty when they saw it, and encouraged me to not give up my pursuit.

Still, there was a tragic lack of awareness. After innumerable phone calls and web searches, I finally tracked down my quarry. Sometime between Aug. 31 and Sept. 16, I will be in possession of…

Tank Girl

…a live-action/animated take on the British punk art comics by Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin, starring Lori Petty, Ice-T, Naomi Watts and Malcolm McDowell. I. CANNOT. WAIT!

I’ll confess too that I have sort of a girl crush on Petty. How cute is she?

You’d have to love scifi and graphic novels to appreciate this movie. You’ve got a post-apocalyptic planet, kangaroo-human mutants, an evil corporate mogul who controls the last of the world’s merger water supply, a couple of hot, kick-ass chicks and a tank.

Throw in a few animated scenes, a rocking soundtrack, and you’ve got a cult classic. What’s not to love?

As soon as my package from Amazon arrives, I’m having me a movie night. Anyone who wants to join me for the showing is welcome to bring their own popcorn and beer.
