That Movie Meme

Posted on March 22, 2007 by sheila

A couple more folks have done it.

I’m reading this one and I am laughing out loud. (the blog is not familiar to me – but I already have a big crush on the writer – she’s so funny!!)

First of all:
1. YES for praise of While You Were Sleeping. HIGHLY under-rated movie. Ahem.

And second of all, this quote of hers made me laugh out loud:
2. I still view robins with deep suspicion.

And then here is Alex’s. I love how HARD it was for her to complete it … because it’s so wrenching to have to make CHOICES. I totally relate to that. And she says, in response to the question: What is your preferred genre of movie:

“I love anything that has a great story, good, solid characters, or in some cases, just catchy songs. Or a knife wielding, brain splattering psychotic maniac with a penchant for virgins. Either way, I’m good.”

    Oh, I forgot about The Green Mile! D and I went to see that one New Year’s Eve and I was crying so hard at the end that he moved two seats down from me. And the lady in front turned around and gave me a stack of napkins. Good lord.

    Dude, Where the Red Fern Grows is BRUTAL, movie AND book. I haven’t seen that movie in at least 30 years, but I still tear up thinking about it.

    Wow. I just finished reading your piece on “While You Were Sleeping”. I was prepared after reading your piece on “Don’t Look Now” (which will arrive at my house tomorrow for weekend viewing, a choice arrived at by reading your post)for insightful commentary, thoughtful attention to detail and interesting tidbits of information, but because this was far beyond that. For someone who loves the film as much as I do, it was a total pleasure to read.

    Thanks so much for the kind comments! I just found your blog a bit ago and am greatly enjoying it.

    Looking forward to reading many more posts!

    Mary
