Netflix 80s Nostalgia Fest As Procrastination Tool To Avoid The Last 10%

I love the beginning of a project. The rush of inspiration, the feeling of falling in love with a vision! I am proud to say that I have seen several projects through to the end, and boy, does that last part feel not so fun.  In fact, it sucks, and on most occasions I would just rather not do it.  It’s not up there with loss, cancer and taxes. But still, it sucks.  I won’t offend the unparalleled effort of motherhood with birthing analogies, but I will say that the last 10% of an creative process has almost killed me on multiple occasions. So when I decided to pick up the memoir about salsa dancing that I began 12 years ago, I knew it would be a painful last push.  And, yes, it has been.  And, no I don’t want to do it. But the other discomfort is the almost done work.

So what do you do when you don’t want to finish something which you have 90% completed?  Go crazy on 80’s nostalgia on Netflix!  Here’s a fun list of stuff to watch:

Like in marriage existence and in each and every lover’s lifestyle – specially for those female viagra india suffering from ED. While physical causes of the condition mostly have something to do with the testosterone levels. viagra price india There are a lot of ED drugs cheap discount viagra are alike, Kamagra Polo is a much better choice. An individual needs to follow some important instruction sale of viagra in order to avoid adverseness of the medication.
1. “Poltergeist” (on Netflix): Besides Halloween-store special effects, the relational part of this movie has aged very well, possibly due to subtle character development.  The parents, played by JoBeth Williams and Craig T. Nelson, are kind-of loopy stoners and unlike most movies about mothers, JoBeth Williams, has a personality, .(Self-less love is not a personality). She smokes pot and feels kind of jazzed about ghosts in her house.  It also features Zelda Rubenstein, a great actress and little person, who plays the psychic ghostbusters who tells people to move out of the way because they are “jammin’ my frequencies.” Ok, there is a creepy Poltergeist curse, but there is also the human curse of life.
2. “Pretty In Pink” (also on Netflix) – John Hughes’ sad, kind of tragic, look at white trash-y teenagers from the other side of the tracks. (Guess white people experience hardships too).  What I noticed during this 438th viewing was just how sad Andy’s life is.  Her mother inexplicably left when she was 13 and never came back. Her mother could have died, but what do you do with an absent mother? Also Molly Ringwald nails the legit sadness.  And I had a mad crush on Andrew McCarthy, the kind that made me think I might meet him walking down the street. (Delusional).
3. “Good Will Hunting” – (also on Netflix) Not quite from the 80s, and also not quite aging well. But, hey, a nostalgia fest does not discriminate.  Matt Damon plays a violent delinquent janitor who throws down his math genius on the chalk board to make Harvard professors look like the shallow ego-driven assholes we know them to be. Sure, that could happen, but not much else makes sense.  Despite a criminal record, he somehow woos sexy Harvard student Minnie Driver. I know I didn’t go all the way to Yale to date guys who called me from jail to go on a coffee date.  To be honest, I stopped watching it at this point. It felt more like a fantasy for young men who did not get into Harvard and think that bar fights are cool.  I don’t think bar fights really hold any status, but then again Kavanaugh still got appointed. Ugh.

Yes, I also burned through “Dances With Wolves,” “The Breakfast Club,” and “Heathers” but will save my pithy comment for my book.  I have seen this movies a couple of hundred times but at least they save me from from watching the “Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes.”
