I love movie soundtracks. All kinds of movie soundtracks.

I love the combination of original music and songs from different decades that comprise a movie soundtrack.

I love that which is the movie soundtrack.

It floats my boat.

So…

I was home alone last night and decided to pull up It’s Complicated on Netflix. I tried to watch the new The X-Files series, but it was an eye-popping horror. Literally. I squeaked through the original series (1993-2002) because — Hello! — CGB Spender, aka Smoking Man, Cancer Man, Cigarette-Smoking Man… and I was much younger then.

So…

It’s Complicated – 1) Because Meryl Streep.  2) Because Baldwin Blue Eyes. ‘Nuff said. 3) Because watching Steve Martin play a subdued character. 4) Because Nancy Meyer.

And the expression on Jane Adler’s (Meryl Streep) face when she looks in the mirror flying high and happy on dandelions, I mean Weed.

Is that what I look like?

And Jane Adler’s trip to the plastic surgeon over her droopy eyelid. Dodged a bullet there, Jane.

So…

Let’s just fly high and happy on some It’s Complicated movie soundtrack.

Leo Sayer’s You Make Me Feel Like Dancing — but It’s Complicated. (1976)

Fine Young Cannibals’ Good Thing — but It’s Complicated. (1988)

The Beach Boys’ Wouldn’t It Be Nice — but It’s Complicated. (1966)

Leo and I might have the same dance moves.

Mebbe.

Tuesday, y’all.
