The concert photos below made me think of 10 Things I Hate About You, for some reason.  That was one of my favorite movies in high school.  In college, I wrote a final essay for my Senior Capstone Shakespeare class on the film as an adapatation of The Taming of the Shrew.  Turns out, it's brilliant.  After reading the play several times over, and watching every film adaptation I could find of it over the years, I discovered just how clever the writers of the film were being - the way they'd changed and graphed characters and plot, and why in relation to our culture.  I found clever hidden games they were playing, knowing 98% of their audience never would notice or care. 

All that said, it has me thinking of some of my favorite films over the years.

.... blanking on most.  What were yours...? The ones you'd watch over and over as a kid, or in highschool. I've made a point to buy most of mine over the past few years.

Shows I didn't love? The ones that when I'd walk into Elise's house and see her cuddled up on the couch with a bag of popcorn watching, I'd dart back out into the sunshine?  Anne of Green Gables and Polyanna.

PS - I'm pretty sure "Itchy" is the reason I still like stinky dogs - like I assume the worse they smell, the sweeter they must really be-  and "Charlie" is why I like trouble makers.  Dangit. 

Also, the most common thing I think I hear when falling in and out of dreams "You can never come back..."  and the line I've sung most times in my head out of nowhere, "Let's make music together.  Let's make sweet harmony." 

Childrens movies.  They can ruin you from the age of three.  Put you on the trajectory to "WEIRD". Watch out.
