Raven in Green again..

nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME

So given that I don't live in one of the country's biggest cities I was convinced we wouldn't get Before Sunset in theaters....Especially when it wasn't here right when it came out.

But...I found the other day that it was showing and I decided this afternoon that I was going to see it. And I went by myself because most of my friends aren't in to it, I mean this is one of the films I just love even if most people don't. So I was really happy to see it by myself. I think I watched the first one by myself, and the idea of taking a boy to it (not that I have one to go with) would be weird.

Being a big fan of the first one, when I heard they were making a sequel I wasn't sure how they were going to do it. I really didn't think it needed a sequel. ...But I started reading about it, finding out it was taking place 9 years after the first one, again not sure what I was expecting or how they were going to keep the magic of the first one. I also heard that they were going to answer the question of whether or not the couple had sex in the first one. ...So these are 2 questions that made the first one great, 1. Did they have sex? 2. Did they meet again? And when those things are answered ...again, will the magic still be there?

And I have to say I loved this one. I did....I loved it. When the lights came up I was so sad because I wanted more.

As I was walking out of the theater I was continplating when I would go and see it again. I mean, it would totally be one of those movies that I could go see again today. I haven't loved a film like this since the first time I watch Secretary.

It was just so lovely.

At first I was surprised at how much older they looked, I got used to it.

I think they really did capture the magic from the first one, the sudlties like Jesse sitting and watching her while subconsciencely playing with his wedding ring.

And hearing them talk of life and love and being hurt and becoming jaded.....ahhh I just loved it! loved it so much.

I thinking I might call Carrie and see if she has seen the first one, and if she hasn't, making her watch it so I can drag her to see this one. I think she might like it, .....and I just want to see it again!
