Monday Movie Moment

Okay, I have a lot to blog about this week, but I have been slack in some of my other duties (Lula can attest). Laundry is piling up and children are missing mommy time. It's Labor Day and we are headed to the beach, so the laundry part will have to wait. I just don't have time right now to sit and pour my heart out about maxi-pads, singing bird clocks, and Edward (oh Edward). That will have to wait until my kids are tightly tucked into bed. I'm trying to give you a small, very ambiguous preview of what's to come this week.

Until then, I want to share a short montage of one of my all time favorite tragedies. No, it's not Romeo and Juliet. It's not Edward and Bella (I'm not done with this one and I don't want to know if it's a tragedy, so don't spoil it). It's Tristan and ............the women he loved in one of the best movies Brad Pitt (who I really don't think is all that) has ever done. I have to watch this movie at least once or twice a year. It moves me. I picked this featurette because it was short. Just Netflix it if you haven't had the pleasure. You won't be sorry.......

Yeah, I liked that movie too. Although it was a little depressing and doesn't end the way you think it might. But I have to tell you that the soundtrack that clip is put to doesn't really make sense, at least not to me. I'm just sayin'.

And did you and Lula go to school together or something? Did you know her before blog world?

I'm laughing at Caroline's comment--we need to start 3-waying her and pretend like we're in high school all over again! Ha.

I LOVE Legends of the Fall...love, love, love it. It's one of Brad Pitt's best roles ever.

But truly...Tristan & Susannah or Tristan & Isabel Too (ah, romantic!)...good stuff, but NOT Edward and Bella. You'll see...you'll see...

i can't imagine going through the torture emotionally 2 times a year! don't you have enough drama? however, i do agree, i love this movie.

Wait...I'm just now finding this post. Do you think Tristan really ever loved her? I'm not so sure. I don't really care because didn't we get to see his tush in this movie??? Is that just wishful thinking or did it really happen?
