My daughter and I just watched "My Best Friend's Wedding." About ten years too late. I honestly don't even know when that movie came out. Suffice it to say that it's been awhile. At least ten years. But Maddy had never seen it. And so it was new to her. She just wanted to see the bridal gowns and fussy stuff--not that she'd ever admit that in person. She likes to remain aloof about these things. Act indifferent. But underneath much neutrality I know there lurks a little hardcore romantic.
The funny thing is this: we had it on VHS only. And after being spoiled by BlueRay and DVD it's hard to get used to tape again. It was horrible, I tell you. And despite the entertainment factor and the company and Julia's infamous winning laugh, it was really hard to watch. The company and popcorn were the best thing about the whole experience. But I remember loving that movie.
And now that I live in Utah, I can plan on spending a lot of time watching movies with my sister and my daughter.
I think it's high time I threw out all of my old VHS tapes. I would keep them for sentimental value alone and if it made any sense, but they don't keep well.
