Destiny


So I have decided that it is Sam and I's destiny to watch sad movies, we ALWAYS pick horrendously sad movies. Most of them are good but there are very few that are not sad. I have enjoyed most don't get me wrong but I need something uplifting now. We have been switching off from the movies we pick that we haven't seen which will inevitably be sad and Disney movies that I own. You have to have a little pick me up after you watch a cripple who helped another cripple find his "voice" die and then watch Charlize Theron abandon her child. It is nice to have a little Ella Enchanted or Shark's Tale after morning the loss of the other characters.


I don't know where this comes from our inherent need to watch heart wrenching tragedy but it is few and far between that we find something that doesn't have the general theme of overwhelming sadness, apathy, and death. To the point that I don't let her pick movies anymore and I will pick ones that I have already seen. Sometimes you need a good cry but not two or three times in a weekend.... It goes a little overboard. But oh well, we have another sad movie to watch, Donnie Darko, not just sad but weird that is another underlying theme WEIRD! I am not going to even talk about the other movie we got, it was more than weird. The damn thing was porn, straight up porn and not straight porn mostly gay porn. More than I could take, I sent it back before we even got a half an hour into it. TOO WEIRD! Don't get Shortbus! It is not about tards!! It is porn!! Now I am going to watch Children of Men I am sure that it is sad or weird but I am going to see how it goes.


I did also finish the first season of Six Feet Under, I love that show. Also sad and weird but great, the second season is coming soon. I wanted to let Sam see some movies first but next week when she goes home then I will start season two. I think I might mix it up a little bit after season two with some Dexter season one so Sam and I can watch season two over thanksgiving or christmas.
