Special moments

I've been under the weather this week. I have a cold and I've not been doing much after work each day. I pick up something fast food for dinner, like I need that lol, and try to get in bed early. Then for the congestion I can't sleep.

I've been flipping through channels on our satellite service where normally I don't watch t.v. often. I saw several movies over the last several nights that I haven't seen in the longest time. You know those moments in the movie where you're glued to the screen wanting that moment that makes you laugh, cry, hope...

Remember The Man in the Iron Mask? The one from the 90's with Leonardo DiCaprio? I know. Lots of people didn't like that movie but I'll watch it when the opportunity presents itself. I love when Philipe, masquerading as his evil king brother, tries to comfort Christine when she comes to confront "Louis" about the murder of her true love. I love when D'Artagnan tells his son the truth about his lineage and how proud he is of him. I love the ending when they explain that the king known as Louis IX was remembered as the greater ruler of his nation. (happy sigh)

Ever feel like that?

Independence Day has come on every day this week. lol I love when Will Smith's character marries his girlfriend while David and Constance join hands, remembering they once loved each other. David still wears his wedding ring though they divorced years before.

I'd never seen Eight Below before and almost didn't watch it because I just knew there would be an animal death(s) and I don't handle that well. While I was right, oh what a wonderful movie. (Paul Walker is fun to look at too lol) I love the moment when the dog came running to him. I loved Max's devotion to Maya at the end. (eyes getting moist)

You may not like the entire movie but there are those special moments that make it all worth it. That make you watch the movie 200 times before you die. That's why I'm a writer. I just want to hit that note once in a while. Not always. Just some of the time.

Buenos Noches!
