It's Morgan Freeman's Birthday everyone!!!
Break out your exclamation points and get ready to par-taaay!!!!!!!! WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, I just can't help it. It's MORGAN FREEMAN. And he's still alive! Yay!!! I mean, he's not terribly old (75) but he's not getting any younger and that makes me seriously dread the day when he won't be alive any more. I know--too morbid--but if celebrating your birthday is about anything then it's about having been born on this day once upon a time--and still being alive on this day right now. :) This is a reason for happiness!
So we should all celebrate Morgan Freeman's utter awesomeness and go to Clarksdale, Mississippi and hang out at his blues club. (Morgan Freeman owns a blues club! See?!)
Or, y'know, for those of us not within easy driving distance of his blues club (sad day :( ) we should just have Morgan Freeman parties and talk about how awesome this man is.
We can break out our worst/best Morgan Freeman impressions!
We can watch our favorite Morgan Freeman movies!
We can get into fights about who's allowed to kidnap Morgan Freeman and force him to legally adopt them!
Yay!! This is turning out to be a great party, guys.
But seriously, dibs on the legal adoption thing. Don't make me come after you.
:D
What is, in your opinion, the best Morgan Freeman movie?
ReplyDeleteBecause if I haven't seen it, I will need to.
Driving Miss Daisy, Glory, Shawshank Redemption, Amistad--all these are classics and wonderful. But if you want fun/weird/crazy/creepy Morgan Freeman movies, you could always look at Lucky Number Slevin (he's a bad guy!), Se7en (yes, I spelled that right), and of course all the Batman movies. Morgan Freeman does an amazing job in any movie he does so I can't really say which is my favorite.
DeleteI think I want a white noise machine that has Morgan Freeman's voice all rumbly and low like it's coming from another room: you can't hear what he's saying but it's soooo wonderful.... :)
And for a bit of oddity, I remember the oldest movie I've ever seen Morgan Freeman in: Brubaker. He's only got a bit part but it's a prison movie! With Robert Redford! Always fun.
Oof. You wanted my especial favorite. Maybe Shawshank. Just 'cause he narrates the whole thing. :)
