Swede!!

I just finished watching Be Kind Rewind, which didn't have much fanfare when it hit theaters early this year but it's been getting a lot of buzz (at least around home) lately. The plot of the story is that Mos Def's character works in a VHS rental store owned by Danny Glover. Glover goes on away on a sabbatical trying to figure a way to save his store from demolition and leaves Def in charge. Unfortunately Def's best friend, played by Jack Black gets magnetized and erases all the tapes. So for most of the movie they remake movies that people request in their own way. It's called sweding, because they are from Sweden (they take a long time to make and are expensive). Well apparently the concept of sweding is catching on and even one of my co-workers has been in one.

I mentioned this to my sister and of course she was gung ho to do one. We want to do Lord of the Rings, but that's too much for a first time. We thought about doing Breakfast at Tiffany's as we both love the movie, and she has a dress similar to Audrey's famous little black one. We decided to do X-Men as it's a movie we both love and feel it would be a good first time one. Now I have to watch the movie a few times and try to block out the thing. Hopefully it won't take to long.
