Went to go see The Fog last night-- immediately afterwards, I turned to Chris and said, "Now I feel like watching the original." He did, too, so we stopped by my parents' house and picked up the DVD.
I hadn't seen the original in a while, so it was fun to sit there and say, "Oh, that's where they got that" or "yeah, they changed that *quite* a bit..."
Also, it amused me that Jamie Lee Curtis was the real-life daughter of the councilwoman character, and in the sequel the actresses weren't related (that I know of), but their characters were mother-daughter. :-)
It was neat to see Maggie Grace playing a character other than Shannon-- other than this, Lost is the only thing I've seen her in. Have also seen a few episodes of Smallville recently, so I recognized Tom Welling. Of the cast, Selma Blair was the one I've seen the most of, and she's always cool. Another person I need to cybercast sometime soon.
But what *really* made me happy was that they played an ad for Rent. I just about shrieked, and tapped Chris's arm quickly the instant I recognized the music, and a minute later he goes, "Ohhhh." lol ((I've basically memorized the soundtrack; he's heard it a couple of times))
At the end of the ad, he said, "Well, it looks like it's got pole dancing in it, so yeah, we can go see it." Me-- *SWAT*
