Oh, that's funny. (Er, it was funny by then, right?)
Oh, it was funny at the time. They had been playing all Spanish music, and we were the only people in the restaurant, AND I could tell I was insane.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think this is how I'm going to refer to Brokeback Mountain forever.
I might wait to see it on DVD because that's how I most enjoy movies.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't worry about crying or laughing or swooning in front of strangers, but I do pick and choose which friends I go to certain kinds of movies with to avoid them harshing my mellow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
it's not a worry about what other people think for me, and in fact I've had people tease me for not crying. I just don't cry in movies. Don't know why.

That's why I prefer going to movies by myself. When I go with someone, I'm always peripherally aware of them, and it keeps me from getting totally absorbed in the movie.

I am also a total insane movie loving freak, so I realize that it is possible that other folks might not make it their number one priority to work hard to retrain their emotions merely so they can go to more movies.
Although it sounds like a darn good idea to me.

Actually, this reminds me of a movie-going question I have: I still haven't seen The 40 Year Old Virgin. So I was thinking about going to a matinee by myself, now that it's school time again. Is seeing it alone in a mostly-empty theater a bad idea?

Only if you're embarrassed about laughing out loud without a crowd of people around doing the same. (Which I probably would be. Well, not embarrassed, exactly, but I'd have less fun seeing it alone. But then, I don't do movies alone because at least half the fun is having someone to share the experience with and talk about it right afterwards.)
