it's playing at the egyptian theater along with paper moon on saturday, the 12th of september--a perfect double-feature if ever there was one.
soon as i find out, i ask v if he wants to go. seeing as how i know he knows it's one of my favorite movies of all goddam time, i'm quite frankly surprised by his mini-hesitation before he says, "yeah, sure--let's go."
later, i'm even more surprised at his somewhat-less-than-disappointment when i tell him it sold out before i could get tickets.
all becomes clear this past tuesday night when he hands me the dvd he'd ordered for me ages ago, smiles big and says, "happy anniversary, babe."
we met three years ago september 1--he remembered, i didn't.

if you haven't seen it lately (or ever), then for god's sake do it soon--and if you can't make the show at the egyptian, at least make sure you watch it curled up at home with a bowl of popcorn and someone you love and don't deserve.
trust me, it'll be just as good.
trust me, it'll be just as good.
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
[figuratively speaking, of course]

Schmaltz that would elicit groans in the Catskills if up on a stage.
But I loved it.
you're such a curmudgeonly joy-sucker sometimes, Oh Beastie One, and i think that's what i love about you.
mikey + v: happy third first-meeting anniversary? Something like that, at any rate.
i'm sure i've seen the movie since the egg donor of mine was a streisand fan, but i'll be damned if i can remember anything about it.
schmaltzy is right (based on that picture), but are you talking Catskills present or past?
You're making me swoon, baby..
God help me, but i'm crazy about you..
noblesavage: i can almost hear that nasal, high-pitched giggle now.
judi: these days it's best seen surrounded by a like-minded crowd--the laughter gets infectious. rent it, invite a bunch of people over, get everybody half-fucked-up and then hit "play."
yhm: temporary insanity, but i'll enjoy it while it lasts.
