Dudes, looking for a quick & easy shortcut to looking like a total fruit? Go see Finding Neverland. Serious. I cried all my mascara off. All of it. Like I told Shugs, it’s not that it’s the best movie you’ve ever seen, it’s just that it finds a way to touch the boy inside you. That’s horrible- I know.
Not many of us can point to the exact moment we grew up. That’s reserved for special people lucky enough to experience horrible trauma. But most of us can recall a time or two we were confronted with the death of our inner child. The first time you cought yourself telling kids to stop enjoying themselves. The fist time you heard yourself saying, “what is that crap the kids listen to these days,” or perhaps the first time you killed a cuddly little animal just for sport.
Finding Neverland is about a misunderstood celebrity and artistic genius whose longing to reconnect to his lost childhood leads him to spend abnormal amounts of time with little boys, and have trouble relating to most adults. Some amount of scandal ensues. And Michael Jackson always thinks he’s soooo ahead of his time. Silly.
Anyway, go see the movie. I’m gonna go head to the bath with a bunch of candles and a trashy novel. Hellooooo! *snaps overhead in an exaggerated arch*

Mona added these pithy words on Nov 29 04 at 2:49 amI saw it today and it was great. I second seeing this movie.
Any suggestions of other tear jerkers. I need to reserve of movies for a good cry once in a while.
suki added these pithy words on Nov 29 04 at 2:52 pmJust read Mona’s entry about the very same movie… I’m guessing that I should see this right about now. I do need a tearjerker these days.

I saw it over the weekend, and actually I liked it too. I can’t really say that I cried like a little girl like I did for Dead Poets Society, but it’s a damn good movie. Much better than 90% of the crap out there.
I actually really want to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when it comes out this summer. But mostly because I want to see Veruca beg for an Oompa Loompa now.
