Four and counting

Four times to see the film, that is. And new things come to light each and every time. After a very quiet viewing in my own town the other night (I think lighting a fire under some of these people might have been the only means to a reaction), I went with Mya. 

Let me tell you, it's much more fun having someone who gets as excited as you seeing [John] Shiban's name on Mulder's cell phone. 

Even if we did 'bonk' heads. 

This time I saw Frankie, and some things make more sense to me now. I want all of you dog/cat/pet owners to go hug your animals. 

Right now. 

Phil had mentioned feeling deflated or down after the big build up. Yes. She is spot on. After getting up anywhere from 4:00 am to 6:00 am, I am sleeping in. 

I haven't slept in past 7:00 in years. The weather does not help. I am a creature of sun, and we've had a return of the liquid sunshine. 

Ugh! Sometimes I wonder why I chose to live in a rain forest. 

Not even the exotic kind! Unless you count Stellar Jays and Bears as exotic. Actually, it really is beautiful, I just prefer to see it dry and in the light of the bright sunshine. 

But, I digress. 

The film. 

I will forever have Kim Manner's words/voice in my head during the last scene. And it will always make me chuckle. Don't worry -- this blog is SPOILER FREE -- so no details will be shared. 

I am dying to pick up Dori Carter's book now that I've read the editorial reviews. She also has a novel called 'We Are Rich' on pre-order that looks equally enticing. I'm going to have to pick these up before I'm immersed in course work once again. You know, people my age are retiring, not doing new degrees, aren't they? 

So, for those of you who have been waiting to see the film..... what are you waiting for? And for those who've already been, go again! It gets better each time, and I guarantee you will notice thing you hadn't before!

Some questions I have about the film so far: 

• The significance of the art work - who's is it? (and the names of the pieces.) 
  
• Which book of the bible is displayed on Father Joe's dresser?
  
• I want to freeze frame several spots so I can read the names/titles of the articles/papers on the boards.
  
• And which casino did Cassandra's Casino Bus end up at? (lol - that note made me laugh - loudly)
  
• Did Larry like his two seconds of fame? He moved awfully fast. 

And just one more comment showing time has passed for our two agents. Mulder now opts for more coverage; red board shorts in lieu of a red Speedo, even as Scully trades in her usual severe suits for a lovely bikini. 

Gotta love it. 

And Hawaii - scene of the next film rather than one teensy cut? Now that would be a enticing fan trip to search out locations.
