Not writing a review here, but I just saw the film Juno for the first time today, and now my mind feels like it's been racing a thousand miles per hour.
It's not just that I was once scared that I had gotten a girl pregnant, but it was the film's whole take on relationships, what it really means to love someone, etc. etc. For once, a love story in a movie REALLY got to me, and I felt like entire chapters of my life were forcibly being opened in the proverbial library of my mind for the reading.
Essentially, I felt like I was confronting a part of my past that is still an open book in some ways, something that will likely keep me awake in self-reflection for the next however many hours, and it's all because of a damn (admittedly very good) movie.
So, as to not simply make this a thread where HMark freaks over his world view and take on the dynamics of male/female relationships...has anyone else had similar experiences with any certain films/shows/etc.?

Chasing Amy had a good lesson for me.
The part about not holding someone's past against them, cause no matter what they wanted THEN, they want you NOW.
Not the part about having a threesome with your girlfriend and your best friend.

Juno was a cute little movie. The dialogue of witty comebacks every two seconds was alittle much though.

They've got the blunts! and .. Mooby's food makes fine looking honeys fart. |

Yeah when I watched Juno it was like my junior year in high school and all the nightmares I had back then had been blown up for the big screen.

I watched Just Like Heaven at my ex's house. We started watching it, and she got tired and went up to bed. I went with her, and was freaking out because I still completely and totally wanted her back... and she just wanted to be friends. Couldn't sleep, so I went down and finished the movie. It made me sit there and write a big dramatic letter about how much she meant to me and how I wanted to be her everything and all that happy horseshit... never did give it to her till way later. Till it was way too late.
That's okay, the bitch got Chlamydia a few weeks ago anyway.

Kicked in the Head taught me the hazards of being kicked in the head Edit: For the few people who know/saw that movie, you know it has nothing to do with getting kicked in the head  |

For once, a love story in a movie REALLY got to me, and I felt like entire chapters of my life were forcibly being opened in the proverbial library of my mind for the reading. See also me, and High Fidelity. That's always been one of my favorite movies, and I've seen it a million times. I remember watching it for the first time since the fiasco with my ex, and it made me sick to my stomach. |

But, speaking of Juno, on The Price is Right big million dollar thing on Friday, they had a hamburger phone and I marked. |

Elling and the other two movies of the Elling trilogy made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable, especially the final scene at the Hot-dog Girl's house in "Love me tomorrow" and the backyard scene with the married woman in "Mother's Elling".
Probably because, with all the due differences and proportions, I've been in some similar situations. And for those wondering, no, I'm not some sort of Elling...
For some reasons, many endings of Scrubs episodes make me very sad.

It makes me glad to think there's somebody out there on my level of thinking like Hornby. |

The movie Wimbeldon. Not because of the movie, but moreso because everytime I get stood up by someone, that movie seems to be on.
