Sleep With Me.

Has anyone seen the movie sleep with me?

It starred Craig Sheffer, Eric Stoltz and, I think, Meg Tilly.  Hang on, I'm going to check on IMDB....

....Yeah it was Meg Tilly.  Anyway, the premise of the film is Eric Stoltz and Meg Tilly are married and Eric's best mate, Craig, falls in love with Meg.  I'm not sure if they go anywhere with it in the end but Craig basically loses his mind a bit over the whole thing and it all becomes a bit uncomfortable.  They patch it all up in the end but it's the final scene which interests me today.  The movie ends with Craig Sheffer standing in the street in LA at night as a big house party goes on around him.  An LAPD helicopter is in the sky and its search light illuminates him briefly which has the most bizzare effect - he seems to waken from a dream like state and goes running off down the road.  Roll credits.  The effect is to make you think he's been acting under some weird spell for the last two hours.

We'll that's kind of how I felt last night.  I realised that it was me who decided to do this program - nobody's forced me into it - and I realised that only I can make it work.  I've been living in a dream state for the last three weeks.  I haven't been exercising, I haven't been sticking to the diet and I've been drinking FAR too much.  Last night I came to the decision that I just need to simplify and get on with it.

Incidentally, there's an excellent cameo in this movie by Quentin Tarantino.  He plays a guy at the party and has this long monologue/rant about how Top Gun is one of the most subversive movies ever made and how it's all about Maverick's struggle with his own latent homosexuality.  We'll worth checking out.
