Apollo 13 is probably my favorite Serious Tom Hanks movie.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I LOVE Apollo 13.
Also have to mention That Thing You Do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just realized that the voiceover on Burn Notice reminds me of my current favorite HGTV show, Income Property.

Yay ita.
The good news, I most likely have a virus, not strep. The bad news, the doctor thinks I am going to feel worse before I feel better. He said this virus is a lot like mono and lasts about a week.
He didn't swab me for strep, but he did say that if I spiked a fever or my tonsils swelled up even more, that there is a doctor on call all weekend and I should come in.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Exactly, ita. I've never even seen all of it and I hate it with the fiery passions of a thousand burning suns.
SpeakIng of such things, for those who've seen LOM UK, would you consider Nelson a Magical Negro? I'm inclined to say no, perhaps because bartender-as-confidant is such a time-honored role. Also, the fact that he acknowledges his persona and its impetus to Sam gives him a dimension beyond caricature.
Anyway.

Half of those shows are Canadian! I swear, I'm about ready to get a place in Toronto myself!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The only Tom Hanks movie I still like is Big. The one I can't forgive that comes to mind is The Green Mile, even more than Forest Gump.
He just strikes me as so smugly self-satisfied that I can't stand him. Also his crusade to fuck up the Washington Mall and the cult of the "Greatest Generation." It stikes me that there's more than a whiff of Mary Sue in how he sees himself and his vision, and it comes off in his films.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not sure Nelson helps Sam at all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's snowing outside. I'm a little alarmed.
Better than snowing inside.
Yay for no strep! Boo for the virus!
I am home, and in my inside pants, and waiting for Suzi to get here so we can slounge together.
There will be bubbly of course, but mostly slounging.
