"A River Runs Through It" is on We. Woohoo!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

I LOVE this movie, even though it makes me cry.

[LostinVA]

1. One of my favs -- I own the dvd

The very end, with the voiceover, especially when he's in the river fishing, always makes me sob.

We could watch it together and sob, b-word... what channel is it on?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. It's on We. Didn't you read the subject line, jackass?

[LostinVA]

5. Not really

I only pay partial attention to you unless you're talking about Democracy.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. Huh what? You think I'm sexy?

Why thank you.

[LostinVA]

11. Jeebus Christos

[Haole Girl]

2. It's too sad for me...

...but kudos to you for being able to make it through the whole movie more than once! :hi:

[Taverner]

3. Why is this movie on a "womens' channel"

The movie is all about Father-Son-Brother relationships.

Not that women don't get it - they do (probably better than men do) but still, I find it interesting it's on a Women's Channel.

[LostinVA]

6. Because the industry considers it a chick flick

[Taverner]

7. OK...now that's strange

Men have feelings too dammit!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. It's so totally a chick flick.

[LostinVA]

10. Yup... my Dad and BIL think it's boring

But, me, my Mom, sister, and 14-year-old niece all love it. I think my nephew likes it... maybe he's gay.

12. I am from Missoula, born there in the 50's..It had an old-west air

Then. I remember the fishing, the closeness to the land. nature's God all around you.
It is onee of this guys favorite movies.

But, when I am alone in the half-light of the canyon
all existence seems to fade
to a being with my soul and memories of the Big Blackfoot
river and a four-count rhythm
and the hope that a fish will rise.

The river was cut by the world's great flood
and runs over rocks from
the basement of time.

On the rocks are timeless raindrops
beneath the rocks are the words
and some of the words are theirs

I am haunted by waters...

[LostinVA]

14. That part you quoted?

The last lines of the novella? It makes me tingle inside -- every time I read it or hear Redford speak it, it touches me...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. Probably.

[johnnie]

15. Yeah but..

Blazing Saddles is on USA. :)


Yeah, I'm a cinema snob :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. What's the point of watching "Blazing Saddles" on USA?

It's got to be edited to hell.

[johnnie]

19. Not really

It seems to be ok. I have it on DVD, but I still laugh at it even when it is cut.

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. ...

:cry:

I love it too... :cry:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. You, LostinVA and I can all have a big chick flick sobfest together.

:cry:

[LostinVA]

20. We can watch that then "Neverland"

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. OMG, we'll be emotional wrecks for the next two days.

[LostinVA]

25. I know....

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. Well, I'm a crying mess.

Jesus.

[av8rdave]

23. Love that film....and the book

[SKKY]

24. "A River Runs Through it." ALiberalSailor slept through it.

Bored me to the point of madness

[LostinVA]

26. See? You're male -- you proved our point

It's a chick flick.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. That's because it's a total chick flick.

[SKKY]

28. No, no, no! I'm a "chick flick" fan.

Just not of this one.
