I have only watched the film once with one other person and that was Sheyne and we didn't need to say anything. We just curled our bottom lips and blinked at each other through red eyes all Alice Faye like and picked up the gold fish and waited for Pierre Tremblay to roll along the credits and we left. Then we said in unison, "God I need a pee!"
Ha ha!! That's right. We HAD to wait until we saw Pierre's name. For unashamed sentimentality (his board on IMDb was how we met). Goddamn softies we are...
For the record, Hippo loved the film too - not that he could see much in his baggie on the floor between Ray's feet. Oohhh but he's watched it plenty of times since from his tank!
Actually the first time I saw it, I was with about 6 people, including my mum. I couldn't speak, I was sobbing unlike I have ever sobbed in a movie before in my LIFE. I just gestured for tissues..
