oh my god, the color purple. i so gave yoda a lecture on that, like 5 years ago, i still don't think he's watched it!
ok, so i'm super weird about re-watching movies. notes:
- i don't like to buy movies unless they so moved me emotionally that i must add them to my collection.
- i AM a book collector, so generally a movie must hit me like a book, lingering and drawing on me. even then, a movie might do that to me and i won't actually buy it.
- so i own like, less than 5 movies. i know, i know.
- in order to re-watch a movie, it is not procured by me. ie, it must "cross my path" generally at someone else insisting, renting it, or it shows up, as this thread raised, on TV all on it's own and I HAPPEN to cross it's path. then, and only then, will i re-watch the movie, even if it's an absolute favorite.
- i don't know why i do this. it might be because i want to hold on to how most movies originally made me feel, like a blossoming love affair, and i fear going back to it again and again will ruin it/wear out the love. i dunno. i'm just ... weird.
ok, so ...
