Coincidence? I think not

First things first. Sorry for the long absence. I've had stuff going on, sort of...

On the way home from XStream tonight I asked my friend Kimmy to name her favorite movie. She replied without hesitation: "Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility." Then she launched into favorites by category.

I don't know if it's a genetic defect, or if it's just me, but I have a hard time choosing one favorite. I know that by strict definition, a person can truly have but one favorite. There are so many options that play into the mix. Plot, actors, genre, people I watched the movie with...my brother-in-law and I watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure every day one summer...

But tonight, as I turned on the tube to relax, I heard the line: "His brain, your strength, my steel..." Yep, The Princess Bride--one of my favorite movies.

"Has it got any sports in it?"
"Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... "

And Billy Crystal is hilarious. I hate the fact that I missed the swordfight scene.

Good stuff.

That's a movie that say they love or hate...I love it. I think it's one of those movies that's so popular - that people who don't absolutely love it, end up saying they hate it...just to be contrary.
Whatever...and I suppose you don't love Mariah Carey either...
