Still recovering, I decided to just watch movies today. I'm already over hearing about all the Roayl Wedding stuff and found the best way to avoid it is to watch movies. I had the movie The Ghost and The Darkness on my DVR. It's one of my favorite movies and so I decided to watch it. While watching it, I thought of another Val Kilmer movie I loved - The Saint. Once The Ghost and The Darkness was over I found my DVD copy of The Saint and I watched it. When it was over I browsed my DVDs to find something else to watch. I grabbed Willow* because I realized it had been years since I had sat down and watched it the whole way through. I started laughing as I put the DVD in as it occurred to me that Val Kilmer was also in Willow. I watched it once through and then turned off my telly to read. My roommate had friends over and they were being quite loud, so it was hard for me to concentrate. I turned on my telly again and watched the special features on the DVD, and then decided to watch it again with commentary. I can hear you laughing. Stop! It was a really entertaining commentary! Anyhow, I thought there was no better way to remember this day than to capture the once-hot Val Kilmer on screen.
*- Side note: James Horner wrote the score to Willow and it is still to this day one of my favorite movie scores of all time. It's pretty brilliant.
