I sit here in the thunder, the green on the grey

Me: I should rewatch Sense and Sensibility (1995). It might pair illuminatingly with Persuasion (1995); I haven't seen it in nine years and I've never written about it; I saw it for the first time in 1996 with someone who didn't like it. That was a point in my life when I saw very few movies and did not think critically about them if I did. Those can be interesting to revisit.

My critical faculties: FUCK, Alan Rickman is BEAUTIFUL.

Ladies and gentlepeople, that may be the review.

Yeah, I back this.

That's the part I do find hard to believe!

I think it's hard to disagree with, although I've met people who have.

I really didn't watch many movies growing up! I can date precisely when I started going to see movies in theaters because I wanted to see them, not because my family was going or my friends were going, to my senior year of high school in 1999. I didn't start writing about movies until sometime in the middle of grad school and I didn't start watching movies at my current frequency until afterward. I have probably still read more books than I've seen movies just because I read so much, more than I did anything else. Movies just weren't a thing that interested me more than reading or singing or archery or writing.
