Fuckin They Nose

You know, when you listen to a song, a song you've listened to a hundred times before, and suddenly you have an epiphany? This song describes me, perfect, you think. And you listen to it over and over till it means nothing again. Becomes an overplayed song with a ghost image of something you thought was acroamatic.

It also happens with movies. It happens with anything, I guess. Anything that strikes the right chord. But you watch that movie, and all of a sudden it is your favorite movie. Maybe you don't watch it again right away, but you advertise it to everyone. And they watch it and fail to see what you were so excited about. “I watched it. It was OK...” But but, you persist. That movie made me THINK! I relate to it like nothing else! It's me, all me, perfect.

And today I watched a movie. I've seen it maybe a hundred times. It was Donnie Darko. And I got that same feeling. The feeling I got when I watched it the first time. The feeling I got when I watched it every subsequent time. I love this movie!

Anyway. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is still my favorite movie. But Donnie Darko is in my top ten.
