Okay. So, remember how I said that "The Legend of Zorro" felt like an episode of Alias?

me, Oct. 28th:

Today I saw "The Legend of Zorro," which was basically Alias in 1850s California with Catherine Zeta-Jones as Syd. And... Antonio Banderas as, like... okay, so not exactly Alias. But there were a lot of fun almost-Aliasness.

And the whole movie had this pervasive, whee, no plot, no problem! feel to it,.

Writing credits (WGA)
Roberto Orci (screenplay) &
Alex Kurtzman (screenplay)

ALIAS VETERANS WROTE IT. Wow. jetgirl78 turned me on to that. I feel so vindicated. I mean, Orci and Kurtzman produce Alias, or something. And wrote a whole bunch of really good Season 2 episodes like Salvation and Double Agent and The Abduction and even one of my favorites from Season Three, Succession. And Parity and Color-Blind and the Coup and Masquerade from Season One. These are quality episodes, yo.

Ooh, Madi, your Alias sense was tingling!

I think I have a Tom Cruise sense, which is far less impressive. Wyatt was trying to pick out monologues a few weeks ago and he showed me one from A Few Good Men, which I had never heard of. (Which I sense might be a bad thing because apparently it's this crazy-popular play and movie. But whatever.) And my immediate response was that it sounded like something that Tom would deliver impassionedly. And -- whaddya know? -- Tom stars in the movie! And he says that part!

I want an Alias sense instead, though. It would be cooler.

But it was really funny- honestly, it was like Alias in the 1850s! It made NO sense but it was so much fun and angsty and crazy and I loved it and I was like, Mommy, it's like ALIAS! YAY! And she thought I was crazy and lo and behold. The power of Alias compels me.

But having Tom Sense is cool.

And you should see A Few Good Men. I really like it. More specifically, I really like the little white suits Demi gets to wear because I imagine myself in them being all cool and poised and stuff.
