Talkin ‘bout My Girl

Saw this hit Netflix today.

When I went to see it (maybe 13?) my mom spoiled it and told me the ending because she didn’t want me to feel too sad at the end.

Any other good movies spoiled for anyone out there?

Ugh the bee swarm death. I never watched that again.

When I went to see The Sixth Sense, I had vaguely heard a spoiler…so vague that I thought it was the kid who was dead. I was extremely confused the entire time shall we say

This one was a big "meh" but Bridge to Teribithia got me.

What got me about Bridge to Terebithia was the Narnia-like ads they put out for it. I remember having to quickly explain to people with kids what it was really about so they didn’t get a shock

Bridges of Teribithia made me sob, and I was watching it with two of my kids. Kind of my own Watership Down moment (when my mom thought that was an appropriate movie, lol) 🤦🏽‍♀️

I haven't watched the movie in probably thirty years. But some things stick with you forever.

Allot of this movie was filmed in my hometown in FL growing up. Several of my friends got parts as background extras and we would watch them film after school.

Loved her character in Veep

As a 50-something male gen-xer, I had to watch it with my daughters when they were high school. I was the only one that cried. My girls are heartless.
