What movies or books have you re-watched where your life experience altered your opinion on a character's choices?
Sondheim's Company.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I'm going to see Company for the first time next week, at the movie theater!
And I was always a Han girl, and totally agree on Liesl. Ugh!

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, Dana, in what way? I'd love to know.
(Weirdly, a guy I was involved with in the mid-90's was obsessed with Sondheim and especially Johanna in Sweeney Todd. He eventually married a Johanna and I think half the reason was due to her name.)

I just rewatched ET, and now I totally understand why the mother freaked right the fuck out. I remember being very frustrated and angry with her when i was a little kid.

The various marriages hit me in different ways the longer I'm married. It's different every time I see it. So I guess we'll see what happens next week.

TOTALLY! I remember, at the time, thinking how overeacting she was. Heh.

And I've only ever watched it as a singleton. And that's not likely to change anytime soon. I find the longer I am single, the more if hurts to watch any films about relationships. They just make me feel lonely.

Just got back from pre-80s prom drinks at my neighbor's. OMG, bubble dresses! Jellie bracelets! BIG HAIR! Popped collars and white jeans on guys and board shorts. (It's a yearly thing. I'm clearly not going, but enjoy their outfits and company and provide photographer duty.)
And I did something never accomplished before: Kittyboy got out and I chased him down and scooped him up. No one not Sarah has accomplished this. Hell, she rarely can manage it. And no blood was drawn. Everyone was in shock. I think Kittyboy most of all. He looked totally stunned. He didn't even hiss until I'd dropped him on his livingroom floor. Ahahah.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That cast for Company looks terrific.
