Back to where are you now ... here's another thing I noticed. I can enjoy lots of other films now. Like, today I saw "The Illusionist" and liked it a lot. But I STILL never see a movie without, at some point, if only for the tiniest moment, thinking, "This is good, but it's no Brokeback Mountain."
Someone sent me one of those emailed questionnaires yesterday. For each question, you're supposed to provide four answers (like, for "four jobs you've held," mine would be: cocktail waitress, newspaper reporter, telemarketer, Kmart cashier). Anyway, I never filled it out because one of the questions was "four movies you could watch over and over."
And I could only think of one.
All the other movies I like, I could maybe see two or three times. If I really, really, really love them, maybe five times. But 15 times and counting? No way.
If I ever get around to filling it out, the other three will all have to be movies I watched with my kids ("The Iron Giant," "The Lion King," "Babe"). I probably wouldn't have elected to see them 30 times apiece on my own, but when you've got 4- and 5-year-old boys ...
