OT - Movies

[Kitsune06]

I was 'meh' about Sleepy Hollow, because though I love Johnny Depp, I'm picky about my movies.

Now Big Fish...

My husband and I both cried because he related to the dad in the film so much, and I cried because he *is* so much like that character. It was a happy cry for both of us, but it wasn't until recently (a year or two later!) that he admitted that he can now watch it without crying. It's sweet and very touching. I liked it a lot.

Nanci-
My dad lost both his parents in a car accident when he was 18, and despite how he never talked about it, it was always something that was sort of 'there'... but not something I could hope to understand or empathize with. I'm glad to have my parents, but I wish I could've understood his loss more as I was growing up. Maybe kids just aren't meant to be a big comforting force- they just happen to say/ask too many awkward things without meaning to

Big Fish is starting now. We'll see. I have a very complicated relationship with both my parents. A lot of regrets about what could be. Multiple generations of damage and now dementia or something is setting in.

Bill watched the end of Sleepy Hollow and thought it would be too gruesome for me.

Emily,

I'm so sorry that your dad's accident still haunts you. I remember when it happened and you said that you couldn't ride, but I assumed you had gotten over it. Recently you had said that you were mtb'ing, so I'm glad you got back on some kind of bike. You'll be back on the road as soon as you're ready to get back out there.
