What made you happy today? (New)

[Gravy]

So...the package was one of my very favorite movies. Used, as that's the only way you can get it, and it is usually unbelievably expensive (upward of 70$ is typical, and again, for a used dvd).

About a week ago, something made me look at it, and it was so much cheaper, and I happened to have almost the perfect amount in gift card balance.

It came in Wednesday, I got to check it today. It works! I have it, and it works! It's pristine!

I last watched this movie nearly a decade ago (which should provide a clue as to exactly how much I love this movie...I do not typically keep track of how long ago I watched something). Prior to that, I am not sure when I last got to watch it. I have kept watch on the price (consistantly more than I could excuse paying), and I fully believed I would never see it again.

And now, it's mine.


I know this probably seems like I'm way overreacting, but I don't even care.
I can watch one of my very favorite movies, that I was convinced would forever be out of my reach, whenever I want!

Your joke falls on deaf ears.

[rssllue]

Good thing you read it then.

[Gravy]

Blind eyes then.


Anyway, you can't spoil my mood.

[rssllue]

I wasn't trying to. I was trying to share in your joy of animated glory.

[Gravy]

I know. I was giving you a bad time.

[rssllue]

So, what movie is it?

Or is it a big secret?

[Gravy]

Truly, Madly, Deeply



(And if you'd like to know exactly how important it is to me, try searching that term in my post history! )

[Gravy]

Spoiler...8 posts, and only three of them are in a movie game thread.

[rssllue]

You can't summarize here?

Cliff notes?

[Gravy]

What do you mean?


Like, what it's about?

[rssllue]

I mean your thoughts on it.

[Gravy]

It is a story of realistic love (the good, the bad, and the ugly ), told through a fantasy.
It's about love, but it's so much more about what love makes you sacrifice for the other.

And I love it.

[rssllue]

I see.
