one.

i know it's so 1990 and 1998, but tonight i watched 2 movies for the first time ever, flipping back and forth during commercials. i watched Pretty Woman, and City of Angels.
what fabulous movies, i'm telling you, i'm not much of a movie fan, because so many of the ones i end up seeing just suck, but these two were amazing, pretty woman was fabulous, but the one i was most fixated on was city of angels.

the story the music the words the imagery - absolutely amazing. i cried so hard and smoked so many cigarettes to calm down. i mean really he said all he needed was one touch to make becoming mortal worth it how serious is that?! my favorite scene from pretty woman was when he took his shoes and socks off and walked barefooted in the grass. just to feel it. my god. just to feel it, i love that i thought it was just a e3younalbak thing to do!

then seth jumps off a building in city of angels so he can become a human, and has one amazing night and when she gets in the accident the next morning, and dies, he was ok. god i would have been torn to shreds. ugh and then when he went to the store and buys the living shit out of pears because thats the first thing she discribed to him. heartwrenching. let me tell you what - that movie kicked my ass.

i have very strong emotions that i get overwhelmed with when i hear the goo goo dolls song that is a part of the city of angels soundtrack. it means so much to me and is one of those songs that discribes so well the feelings i once carried so strongly. i remember going to a street fair the goo goo dolls played at about 7 months ago, i pushed through the crowd to try to get close to the front praying that they would sing my song, when they played their last song, and i didnt hear it i was upset, as i turned to walk away they played it as their encore song. its so powerful to me, if played in full without interuption, i could cry for hours. ugh absolutely amazing. what a powerful night.

  • I get the same way with young frankenstein... when the doctor plays that sad doleful song on his violin, it chokes me up. Destiny destiny there's no escaping death for me, destiny destiny there's no escaping death for me...
