Remember this awesome thing? (AM)

Miss Soft Crab works hard to deliver you, the readers, fresh and exciting content two times a day, five days a week (except on public holidays, that would be crazy!).
Don't worry guys, we're not about to stop.
But, as we've said before, mostly we just want everyone to have a good time, and sometimes the best way of doing that is to tap in to the existing pool of super great stuff out there.

So, it's time to revisit the popular Miss Soft Crab segment Remember this awesome thing? !

And readers, we have a particularly awesome thing for you to remember today. It's the movie Parenthood.

You've seen it, right? It is such a great movie.
I think.
Truth be told, I haven't seen it in about 10 years, so I'm working from my memory of it here. There is a chance that it hasn't stood the test of time (see: Fight Club; the work of Ben Stiller, not including The Royal Tenenbaums).  But I'm pretty sure it is an awesome movie. Lets list its attributes!
  • Pretty much everyone from the late 1980s is in it. Steve Martin. Dianne Weist. Mary Steenburgen. Tom Hulce. Rick Moranis.  Jason Robards. Martha Plimpton. Keanu. Baby Joaquin Phoenix. If Bill Murray was involved it would seriously be everyone.
  • Its really funny. Steve Martin!
  • Its really moving. Steve Martin! I mean, baby Joaquin Phoenix!Actually, heaps of it, but the story that pertains to Dianne Wiest and her kids is may favourite bit of movingness I think.
  • It will make you laugh/cry/fall in love all over again. Like LIFE guys. Just like life.
Plus, everyone in it is so young and beautiful. Mary Steenburgen looks so fresh faced and adorable, unlike these days where she looks like Joan Rivers.

Joaquin Phoenix looks all baby faced and adorable, unlike these days where he looks a little, you know, sad.

Then
Phwoar. I mean, Now
























And , Steve Martin looks exactly the same.

But its not about how young they looked. It's basically just an awesome movie. Watch it, it's an awesome thing!

  1. I recently re-watched Beetlejuice, thinking it would be a wonderful trip down memory lane.

    It wasn't.

    1. Oh, what a shame.
      I would expect more endurance from a young Alec Baldwin/Geena Davis/Winona Ryder movie. Micheal Keaton I expect nothing from.
