I think in addition to my bullet point posts, every so often I'm going to take a certain topic, or person, and write about my opinion of said topic or person.
And because the Oscars are coming up this weekend, I think I'll go ahead and begin with the lovely Billy Crystal.
For the love of all things Crystal, I have to say, I absolutely adore Billy Crystal. I think he is timeless. He is hysterical. He just slides into whatever character suit he has to, and you still see a button or two of Billy, but really, he wears his suits so well.
Of course, the first movie I ever saw Billy Crystal in was The Princess Bride, 1987 which has been my favorite movie since I could open my sweet little baby eyes, so that's a plus for Billy. Miracle Max is one of the best characters from any movie. "Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world! Except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They're so perky, I love that."
The way he speaks with such a lazy tongue, it's so pleasing for some reason.
And of course, another absolute favorite of mine When Harry Met Sally. 1989. "Waiter, there's too much pepper in my paprikash. But I would be proud to partake of your pecan pie." Of course, both of these movies are the amazing works of Rob Reiner, which helps. But Billy is wonderful and endearing. And he makes me laugh without resorting to stupid tricks or voices, like popular comedians today (Will Ferrell), (even though I like Will Ferrell) (about 90% of the time), (maybe 85%).
Also, he has been married to his wife (FIRST wife) since 1970.
I JUST LOVE BILLY CRYSTAL.
I think if I had to put him in the order of random things that I enjoy, it would be:
1. The Geico Pig
2. Billy Crystal
3. Pita chips.
I'm so glad he's hosting the Oscars this weekend. I might even watch them. I haven't really watched award shows in the past, but I feel like I should keep updated on this stuff, and maybe write about it? Maybe I'll live blog it.
