Sammy Maudlin in the House
Well a little bit anyhow. See the other blog for an update on today. Decided to post THIS entry here because well...you're my girls.
I'm blogging in the other location...surfing channels. And I happy on a movie that is GUARANTEED to make me cry. I want to share with you why.
It's "Field of Dreams". A baseball movie, a movie basically for guys--although I find the fantasy of it quite beautiful. It's the last ten minutes of the movie that are guaranteed to make me cry.
Kevin Costner plays catch with his dead father. A father he kind of pissed off in life, a father he left (instead of one who left him) but who comes back as a young man at the end, and they play catch.
As someone who never got to resolve things with her own father, I can't even begin to explain how I WEEP when this scene is playing. I was just doing it, I have a headache. If I had one wish, it would be to be able to talk to my dad in some way. Tell him I love him. Have him hug me.
Of course Lois thinks this is the key clue to everything about me. Fuck you Lois.
All I know is, other than a baby--and maybe more-- the thing I want most desperately is to be hugged by my father. Of course that can't happen because this isn't the movies.
Oh shit. Gotta go cry. FUCK! I'm so sorry.

speaking of crying. just finished downloading CONSTANT GARDENER and wow, man....i cannot wait to watch it with oats. am pretty sure i'll cry as much as i did on that drunk flight home from babylon
Baby. One of my fondest memories, you sobbing as we sped toward Paris...not knowing whether to feel sorrier about the movie or about knowing that we'd have to say goodbye.
That movie was a total surprise. I didn't expect to have such a violent reaction to it.
