Whoo. I feel better now. Just had to get that out.

I watched "To Kill A Mockingbird" today.

I am ashamed that I had not watched it before. I read the book a long time ago and absolutely adore it, but I had not watched the movie. Let me just say, I love that film. I love everything about it. When the Reverend said, "Stand up Jean Louise, your father's passing." I lost it. It hit me like a sledgehammer in the chest. I don't know why. Maybe because I love my father so dearly and look at him like Gregory Peck's character. It was that goodness and reverence that got to me. Such a great film. The opening titles were so well done, so thought out. The music, the acting, the fact that they actually did the book justice in interpretation and style. I love that movie.

Hey, Dan Vado posted on my board. That's funny. :)

Normally I don't comment on other people's journals but, dammit, that is both one of my favorite books & movies of all time. I know it seems dull being that anyone who reads books is SUPPOSED to like that book. But what a great book!

I could watch the movie over and over again, too. Everytime I see Scout in her ham costume I laugh uncontrollably.

Nice day for a...white wedding. (damn, now that song's in my head)

Heee, I watched it again before I had to take it back to Blockbuster. Then, while I was watching it, I realized I had to "fulfill my obligation" to Columbia House Video Club...so I ordered it as well. (I also ordered The Mummy, the original Boris Karloff version. Yay for black and white movies).

I could definitely watch it over and over again. I think it would usurp Labyrinth as my all-time favorite movie were it not for my blind devotion. Eh, maybe it's a tie.

I started crying again at the part where the Reverend tells Scout to stand up. Then that whole scene afterwards on the porch. The children in that movie were phenomenal. And they weren't actors. That's what I don't like about child actors today, or adult actors for that matter.
They're too into being an "actor". That Pepsi girl scares me.

*sigh* Such a timeless film.

p.s. I ordered more button supplies today. I'm gonna make me some buttons.

I hate Billy Idol's lips

A fellow victim of Columbia House obligation!
You would've thought I'd learn after the CD club, then the Video club...but alas I am a member of the DVD club. It's sad, really. I haven't bought any in a while because I'm po'. :(

Gregory Peck is a good actor. I liked that the kids were just normal crackbabies that were essentially asked to be in the movie, too. Okay, maybe they weren't crackbabies.

If they ever remake that movie I will bash my head against the wall. Imagine, Haley Joel Osment as the newer, maler, Scout. *shudder*

There's just something demonic in that Pepsi girl's eyes. She reminds me of Linda Blair in that classic strapped-to-the-bed Exorcist scene, with less makeup.

PS: You should make a white button that says "button" in black, lowercase letters.

I hate Gina Gershon's lips...looks like someone stapled her upper lip to her nose.

*shudder* Now I will have nightmares filled with Haley Joel Osment and that Pepsi girl as Scout and Jem. Imagine if one day...they.....bred! ACK!

Hmmm, a button that says, "button"? Ingenious! I will! I'll make one just for you boddah.
