tears were streaming, but I was grinning like a fool. Mmm. Loved that.

Yup. I love it when a work of fiction can do that (nobody said anything about "Out of Gas", move along). The last movie who did something similar to me (crying all the last half hour, yet leaving with a big smile) was "Big Fish". Hmm. Now that I mention it, there were actually a few more things similar between the two movies.

Allyson, I love your way with words.

ALong with Jessica, not coming in this morning and reading a thousand posts. But I love my DVR so much. Went out to a nice dinner last night at eight to a restaurant I can't normally get a table at-- we were one of three couples there. Started watching at ten and finished when the show did. So awesome! Though in racing through getting the show on time, it was basically a broadcast of a statue distribution program. Boring.

Fun watch and post. Rio's JF hatred was bracing.

Oh thank god, I thought I was the only person who doesn't love him to death.

You know what is really funny about these storms? The schools and whatnot make the call to close before a single flake has been seen.

I understand it (because who wants a zillion kids in buses right when the snowfall is supposed to peak) but it is funny to think of all these kids having snowdays when for half the time, there is no snow.

JF?

guessing Jaime Foxx.

From the Cintra Wilson recap:

The biggest argument I got in with my phone-support crew, most notably my dirty and scurrilous libel-meister "Wayne Brave," was whether or not that Catherine Zeta-Jones bit between Rock and Adam Sandler was an actual boner. I thought she actually failed to show up, because surely that ghastly, time-murdering disaster wasn't a planned comedy bit.

I thought it was definitely planned. The entire (weak, elderly) joke was that Sandler has all these "seductive" lines, but, ha ha, he has to say them to a dude instead of a chick. If he'd said them to Catherine Zeta-Jones, it would have been even lamer.

Anyone disagree?

JF = Jamie Foxx.

The last movie who did something similar to me (crying all the last half hour, yet leaving with a big smile) was "Big Fish".

Oh yeah. But Big Fish took a while to sneak up on me -- Finding Neverland I loved from the start. But I have Peter Pan issues.

Jamie Foxx

Ah, gotcha.

If he'd said them to Catherine Zeta-Jones, it would have been even lamer.

Yeah. The lines were really exaggerated even by Oscar pseudo-banter standards.

But I have Peter Pan issues.

Oh, I think I am you in that, as well.

I loved it that they remembered that the story wasn't just a happy shiny let's-fly-and-have-fun-all-is-great tale, but had its sadder emotional moments, as well. They had the spirit of the story (even if most of their facts regarding JMB and the family he met were different than t he actual meeting that took place), and that's what counted most, for me.
