take my stuff - please!

That's what Christa El Dorado said! Really! It was even the title of the gathering at her place tonight!
But let's start with the rest of the story, shall we?
(smile)
Barbara and Sandy and I had decided to make a day of it there in Pooler.
First, we all went to see "Fan", which I had thought was Bollywood, but it wasn't. Even though it starred Shah Rukh Khan, who I dearly love, and who is most known for his romantic singing and dancing, it wasn't.
"Well, then," you ask, "just what was it?"

It was a thriller!
A possessed fan (Guarav)
of a mythical movie
sensation (Aryan Khanna)
sets out for vengeance
when his advances
are rebuffed by his idol.
The storyline wasn't new,
as elements of it echoed
from "Play Misty For Me",
just from another culture
and another milieu.
The truly incredible aspect
was that both men were
played by the same man:
Shah Rukh Khan.
Wow.
Our congratulations to the make-up folks for an incredible job of transforming the actor into a younger, softer man with definitely different facial features.
Our congratulations, also, for the actor, for imbuing each character with a unique essence and different mannerisms, from the sweet clutziness of the young man to the jaded choreography of the older star.

Afterward, we had a little time to kill before the party. Walking around the new mega-sized outlet mall is what the other two wanted.
I went, albeit reluctantly.
Surprisingly, I was the one who shopped!
I came away with a blouse, two sweaters, and a nightgown, and a bill less than twenty-five bucks.
Amazing!

Then it was party time!
Christa and Elise had plenty of snacking foods and adult beverages. I even indulged in one of the hard ciders - pretty tasty! We chatted and ate and chatted some more before the movie of the evening.
Now, you should recall that our squirrel mistress has a crazy thread loose when it comes to movies. When you come to her place for a movie, you should know two things: A) it will be one you've never seen before, and B) it will be one you will most likely never see again.
"Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus" was the sushi platter on the small screen tonight. Featuring pop's Debbie Gibson, thirty years later and all grown up and portraying a marine scientist, the whole thing was pretty laughable. Hooray for the lack of gore!
Our hostess sent us away with as much stuff as we could carry. I left with a basket (for nephew Michael), lots of superhero movies (and a few others), a Mr. Coffee machine, a very nice plastic storage bin, and two excellent glass jars. Oh, and some clothes hangers, too!
And guess what greeted me on the telly?
Try to guess, please!
Here's a clue: it was time for the Saturday late-night creature-feature fest with Svenghoulie.
Here's another one: the movie was set in 1960's Japan.

It was "Kingu Kongu tai Gojira"!!!
You may know it better as "King Kong vs. Godzilla".

Okay, gotta go! Commercial break is over!
