Documentaries.

I feel that watching documentaries makes me smarter- and I love documentaries and getting smarter, {win/win}. Here is what I have been watching.

Spellbound- I pride myself with being a pretty decent speller. Could any of you spell leprechaun before I just typed it out for you? I spelled that in 1st grade- that is the basis of my spelling pride. After watching this documentary I realized my spelling is not quite up to par. The kids in this movie were cracking Tyler and I up. The parents were also hilarious. It was painful to watch the kids get a word wrong. It was produced in 2002 so most of those kids would be in college by now- I wonder what they are up to.


Best quote from the movie:

Spelling Judge {not sure the exact term for this person} : "Mayonnaise"
Random speller: "A"
We kept quoting that for the rest of the night. Maybe you need to watch it to see the humor.


Every Little Step- this follows a bunch of people trying out for "A Chorus Line"- which is funny because that is what the musical basically is. I learned that "A Chorus Line" is all true stories-- very interesting. It was neat because some of the original cast members were helping to produce the show again. I saw "A Chorus line" three years ago in NYC- I wonder if it could have been any of the same cast. There were some intense parts- and one part had everyone in tears. {By everyone I mean- myself and the people doing the casting.}
