Also, the worry that someone won't enjoy your favourite film of all time. I went through this particular emotion with my Almodovar collection. I'm still allowed to watch them.

There's a decent guy here. His instincts are good, but he's absorbed so much of this stuff about how life (his in particular) should be that he's having trouble just being.<br /><br />I don't know if he's ever going to be able to handle (deal with, as Christopher would correct himself) Candice.KjMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691028465137798738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-38776068458946348682011-05-15T11:10:47.040-04:002011-05-15T11:10:47.040-04:00I'm so glad you continued this one.

It'd be a little flimsy for anyone who wasn't a romantic, but screw people who aren't romantics. I'm a softy. The mix of her actually liking this movie and his sundered infatuation is highly winning.

However in the context of the original story it seems a bit disconnected or maybe it's just mixed signals on my part.<br /><br />In regards to Jason's comment it seems even worse if you consider the possibility that she was perhaps too young to appreciate it "back in the day."
