The World Beyond BetterMost > The Culture Tent
"Somewhere in Time" 1980 film with parallels to BBM?
Front-Ranger:
So, how did the double feature go? I'd love to hear about your viewing.
Mandy21:
SIT in late morning, and I've just paused at the 11/7 postcard moment in BBM. All is well, my friend.
After that, I've got the 2010 version of Nightmare on Elm Street lined up, now that it gets so dark so early:)
Thanks for asking, Lee!

I thought that this, like all other topics on BetterMost, were brought forward so that we could try to understand each other better. You shared your experience and perspective, and I thank you for that. I was just hoping to extend the discussion about this great film amongst others who might have different experiences and perspectives, including myself.
Sorry my questions don't "interest" you. My bad...

Please don't worry that I was offended because I sure enough wasn't. You weren't "bad" about anything, as far as I'm concerned. But you were asking questions that I'm just not interested in talking about--maybe I should apologize for my lack of interest. :-\ I probably came off sharper than I should have, too, and I'm sorry about that. :(
Memo to self: In future, don't write Bettermost posts after you've spent an entire day cleaning house. :P
I'm not sure where you get your assurance that Jack had sex with whoever he worked with the previous summer. Since Jack took the initiative with Ennis, I'm pretty sure myself that he was no virgin. It's a logical assumption that he had sex with his coworker the previous summer--but in the end, isn't that really still just an assumption? If he'd already been doing some rodeoing before he met Ennis, mightn't he have had his introduction to gay sex somewhere "out on the road" while he was rodeoing? That's just an assumption, too, of course, but you see where I'm going here? I can't recall anything in the movie or any text to allow a conclusive conclusion that Jack had sex with his coworker the previous summer. It's logical to think that might have happened, but we can't really prove it, can we?
Ellemeno:
I'm just finding this thread. I remember a few years back, someone comparing Somewhere In Time with Brokeback Mountain, in terms of their fanbase, and the love affair. Now I (kind of) want to see it.
I just looked up Jane Seymour on Wikipedia. She's married to James Keach, and they have 5 year old twins:
"1993 to present: James Keach (with whom she had twins, Johnny and Kris, born November 30, 1995, and named after family friends, Johnny Cash and Christopher Reeve)"
She herself is nearly 60, how can she have 5 year old twins? I think there's more time traveling here than meets the eye. James Keach played the prison warden in Walk The Line, I'm pretty sure, the movie about their friend Johnny Cash.
southendmd:
Hmm, not time travel, just plain old math.
If the twins were born in 1995, then they're almost 15, and Jane had them when she was about 45.
