Katie and I went to a ward party tonight (free dinner). Then we came home and watched an amazing movie on public television called "Eegah". Made in 1962 and directed by Arch Hall Sr. and starring his son Arch Hall Jr., Marylin Manning and the indefatigable Richard Kiel, Eegah is a timeless classic about "the crazed love of a prehistoric giant for a ravishing teenage girl!" I could write pages upon pages of praise for this movie but I think the movie poster says it better than I can:
This is Eegah.
Eegah falls in love with Roxy when he finds her lost in the desert:
But Roxy already loves this dude (personally my favorite character in the film):
It's a love triangle Shakespeare would be proud of. I won't ruin the ending for you but I will say that any film with a scene like this is movie magic:
You might also recognize Eegah as the psycho nail-in-the-head guy from "Happy Gilmore":
Truly one of the great actors of our generation.

I could probably spend 3 weeks in Blockbuster and not come anywhere near finding treasures such as "EEGAH!!" Please tell me your searching secrets.

Wow Mom I didn't know you gave birth to Bennett too! Doesn't that make Katie and Bennett brother and sister? Maybe you guys should think twice before you have children--they might have a lot of genetic problems. You know incest is never good for the gene pool. I mean look at inbread dogs, they always have problems.
