Day 569 - Movie Days

For the past few days David and I have debated over whether we have watched Three Men and a Little Lady so today I got up before David and skimmed through it. Right up until 30 minutes in I was sure I had never seen it. At 30 minutes in it hit me like your life supposedly flashes in front of your eyes. I knew how the movie ended. Not just how it ended in a prediction kind of way, but the last 20 minutes of the movie were clear in my mind. I spent the next 10 minutes skimming through the rest of the movie. Skipping ahead 5 minutes at a time to fill in the void that should have been the movie in my subconscious. Turns out that the ending is the only memorable part of the movie. The original was definitely far better than the sequel. Guess that is what it means for a movie to suffer a severe case of sequelitis.

Tonight's movie was to be Only You a movie in which the lead actress was told by both a Ouiji board and a fortune teller that she would marry a Damon Bradley as a child. Later, shortly after she is engaged to marry a man of a different name she receives a phone call from a former classmate of her husband who regrets he can not attend. What is his name? Damon Bradley. Of course she flies off in hot persuit of this Mr. Bradley and chaos ensues. It sounds interesting in a "meant to be" kind of way however even as I sit here watching Bonnie Hunt (or as I remember her from childhood Alice Newton from Beethoven) help search for Damon Bradley I can't help but think I have seen this movie before too.

David, in the meantime, has ventured off to play video games leaving me to tidy up while watching Only You convinced this is another movie that has left my mind with only patches. It looks like tonights movie will end up being In & Out afterall.

This wedding movie countdown turned out to be a good idea, as much as it's not uber romantic and even sometimes gory, as last nights Very Bad Things would prove. It still has gotten my mind off just how close the wedding is coming. With the exception of our hotel we have paid off all our wedding with only $104 left to pay. This is a reason to celebrate if you ask me! The additional good news is that we managed to pull this off *knock on wood* for just $5000, our original budget. We went over by a few hundred but all things considered I call that a win.

Now to finish folding the laundry while watching a movie I'm sure I've seen before. *sigh* I wonder if it was and will be again a moderately good movie.

<3 your hippie bride
