I go weeks without partaking of the yummy, yummy yumminess in the Open Forum analysis threads.  I visit the list of them nearly every day, and look to see which ones are growing, but don't dive in.  And then one day, I'm ready for a BBMfest, and I read 4 or 5 long threads full of insight all the way through.  By the time I get to them, so much has been said that there isn't usually too much for me to add except to express my praise and gratitude for the wisdom and humor therein.

So I thank you stolid hardworking, industrious ants who trudge on through the observation and analysis day after day, so that I, a silly grasshopper, can infrequently savor and chow down on your glorious, impressive gleanings.

My theater viewings are at about 18 or so-I'd have to check with Nipith  ;D and my home viewings no more than 3 from beginning to end. I feel "guilty" just watching the first half hour but I confess to doing just that. I loved the theater experience-the anticipation was just plain joyful. Somewhere along the line, though, the movie became too emeshed with the stressful time taking care of my father and it just made me sad.

I got home, got the DVD-okay, the DVDs, watched a couple of times and got incredibly sad about a week later. Lately I've felt the fellas calling (could be all the anniversary celebrating) so took a chance and watched the first half hour. Yep, I got sad about a week later but I'm now okay with that.

The excitement has certainly mellowed but my connection has not. I have never felt this way about a movie for Pete Tannen's sake! Nor have I ever fallen in love with fictional characters! I watch and am just transported by the beauty of the cinematography, the perfection of Gustavo's score and the melancholy of the boy's relationship. It still fills me with wonder-every time.
