Situations...

Theres no defining some of them... theres no logic, reasoning or even humor to be found in some of them.

I just saw 2 movies from the 70s i think that were based on plays.. excellent plays... really hilariously funny plays..
1. Barefoot in the park: Robert Redford(Paul), Jane Fonda(Corrie) ... its a neil simon play they made into the most lovely scrumptious light hearted movie ever made... if i ever get over being commitment phobic, thats the kind of marriage i want.. lol... unfortunately i THINK Robert Redfords taken... wait.. lemme check ... :) .. its just one amazing day of the apartment wayyy at the top of the building.. the newly married couple moves in and hilarity ensues.. its brilliantly executed with amazing comic timing.. i love it.. i hope you guyz will too.. i just... sighhhh.. adore it.

Its first class humor :) and amazingly refreshing... At one point in time Corrie turns to Paul and says "Paul, I think I'm gonna be a lousy wife. But don't be angry with me. I love you very much -- and I'm very sexy! ".. And this particular exchange is going to be symbolic in my mind for the perfect marriage.. :)
Corie Bratter: You're almost nearly perfect!
Paul Bratter: That's a rotten thing to say!


2. Butterflies are free - 1972: Goldie Hawn(Jill), Edward Albert (Don) ... Based on a play by Leonard Gershe about this free spirited 19 yr old girl who moves into the apartment next to this young blind man trying to get away from mom and make it on his own. The repartee in the whole movie is amazing... witticisms fly back and forth and you marvel at the skill of the screen writer.. All based in one day much like the first one.. (Most plays are).. it was a gem i suddenly came across while lounging around in front of the TV after finished the prawn curry mum insisted i help with.. ( me thinks me hands are still smellin of masala)... A MUST watch movie if you guyz read this message before 10am PST tomorrow morning... i loved it. If i had an operational VCR and a blank cassette, i'd record it.

Goldie Hawn is Jill Tanner.. this flighty 19 year old who got married at 16 to Jack for exactly 6 days... Apparently the poetic irony of it all was too much for her :) ... "It seemed like weeks" she says... But When Dons mom played by Eileen Eckhart asks her how long she was married and receives "6 days" as the answer, her retort is hilarious.. "And on the 7th day you rested?!"...
The comic timing is perfect.. the dialogues are really funny....
Jill is aware of her own instability and flightiness... in addition to which shes highly commitment phobic, something i can easily relate to... So when she seeks to leave at the end of the day because she doesnt want to hurt Don in the long run (another 6 days ?!?) he tells her "I could love you if you let me".

So if any of you wake up by 10am PST tomorrow morning.. switch on the Movie Channel 2 i think and watch Butterflies... Its a wonderful experience...

Ok me going to bed... gnite...
