Oh how I miss George St. Pierre's movie reviews!

When I started following George St. Pierre as he began to fight in the UFC, I read every interview I could find; well that hasn't changed any, has it?

What has changed is that so many people have an interest in interviewing him now, that a charming custom one of his first and most frequent interviewers established is now missing. The young man always ended each session by asking Georges what movies he had seen and having him give a brief review for his fans.

Knowing that your favorite sports star shares an interest similar to your own bestows upon the person an endearing quality and gives you a sense of familiarity with him.  At least it does in my opinion.

Although you realise that you will never meet him (unless you are a stalker), you have the sense of sharing something dear in common with him.

Well, I love movies, and when I was able I would go to a theater and watch up to three movies on my day off work.

Apparently Georges spends his spare time from training, at the movie theater too.

From reading these past reviews I know that he enjoyed the "Star Wars" movies, action movies and the horror movies, my least favorite genre.

One of the strangest things I have done in my adult life was to purchase "Hostel I and II" because Georges had seen them and professed to "love" them.

Consequently, I viewed the dvds I had purchased and began to: first doubt my sanity in having done such a juvenile thing; and then I began to worry about the state of Georges' mind.  And no, this was before his lost to Matt Serra.

Now, I am either a very naive old American woman who should either thank GSP for his warning about the existenceof these "clubs for millionaires who want to experience the thrill of torturing and killing Americans by kidnapping them" (when they visit certain foreign countries), or I should find him and sit him down and have a talk about reality versus fiction.

Of course I have no room to talk, since I have never, and will never cross the ocean to visit any country, and I know that Georges has.  Still the Hostel I and II concepts are very hard for me to imagine as being true.

Fortunately, I ran across a dvd with a movie titled "The Feast" that was made by a bunch of students from a university in Macomb, Illinois.  It won an award at a film festival and got a lot of attention in our local newspaper "The Peoria Journal Star" when it was released.

The film is a horror film which I am sure Georges would appreciate since he does enjoy the genre, but I am very wary of sending it to him.

It depicts an incident that occurs at a small tavern far out of town (as are many little watering holes in Illinois' less populated areas) and a bunch of people find themselves in a very dangerous, unbelievably gruesome situation.

I have already acknowledged that I never will meet my favorite sports hero. So I ask you--should I send him this movie that may make my chances of meeting him even less likely by convincing him that traveling in the Heartland of the Midwest is more dangerous than staying in a hostel in a foreign country?

Not a very good idea, huh?
