Fantastic post, WD. I’ve blogged on this subject several times as, like you, I am a certified cinemaphile. I teethed on movies and still go all goose-bumpy at the thought of a good flick. I saw Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet with my sister the very week it came out in theaters. Our parents let us go by ourselves; it was incredibly exciting. I was eleven years old and she was twelve!

I told my daughter only yesterday as we drove home from Charlotte: I am continually astounded by the extent to which my enduring paradigm has been shaped by popular culture in the form of movies and music. In a good way, I believe … and I was allowed to watch pretty much everything too.

Bamboo: I like all my emotions, and I like them all to be pet. I’m a pretty happy guy, so seeing a movie that’s depressing is often the only way I can tap into that part of my conscious. But I totally see what you mean. Why open the door, if you don’t like who’s knocking, right? Thanks for the compliment. It was the last line added; sometimes those are the best.

Beth: I’m very glad to have you. My lady’s from Colorado, or at least she spent a lot of time there. She always tells me how much I’ll love it. Maybe someday.

J.D. Meier: That made me laugh. Thanks, and you’re right.

Writer Dad – And what would he have done? … Have a bite of carrot, chew on the problem, then think his way out. Bugs was a master of the gap between stimulus and response, and a leader in emotional intelligence.
