Discoveries in 80s Movies

September 15th, 2006

I just made a startling discovery. Mostly startling because I guess everyone else in the world knew about it and I didn’t. Let’s see if you can follow.

Remember my favourite movie from when I was in brownies? That’s right, Troop Beverly Hills! Good. Stay with me. Think back to the Nintendo days. The Wizard was another good one. Okay, so you’re too young to remember those ones. Remember when me and all my high school friends fell in love with Angelina Jolie in the best movie she ever did? FOXFIRE? You’re with me now, right?

What do all those gems of my youth have in common? They all star the fabuloso Jenny Lewis, of course. Look at her there! Being all cute and reading Cosmo while she’s waiting for Fred Savage to realize he’s in love with her right before he plays Super Mario Bros 3 in the big competition! I don’t even want to go into what an awesome game Super Mario Bros 3 is.

So, you move on in life and grow up and start listening to indie rock, forgetting all about that cute kid from your favourite 80s movies. Rilo Kiley, for instance. And sadly, when RK takes a break from making the music that makes your world go round, you start listening to the awesome side projects — The Elected and of course, RK’s lead singers’ side project, Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins.

Then one day, you wake up and realize that it is the THE SAME JENNY LEWIS. And you’re so flabbergasted at the kid’s beauty and great songwriting skills, you just don’t know what to say. Kudos to you, Jenny Lewis! We love you.
