    Me too!  It was my biggest fear after posting it yesterday and I'm still not sure if I spelled it correctly!
    Anyway, it made me laugh, Big Time.
    They are sooooo, well, for some reason loveable!

    You, my dear, must have a list a mile long that I would love to devour.
    I must message you and catch a glimpse, if that is o.k. with you.  Are you on right now?  I'll check.  I remember you have your ultimate favorite which I didn't think I would like because the title seemed rather dark.  But, you said it was fabulous.  I'm trying to remember...
    I'll think of it.
    O.k.  Please give me a hint..
    ;) :)

    Sorry, Merlin!
    I've been singed in 'officially' I think but I've been away. Just eating some lunch here and then off to do some other things around here.

    I'll throw out some titles that I highly think are worth devouring, ha!

    Yeah, I bet you're thinking of "Dancer in the Dark."
    Directed by Lars von Trier. That'd be my pick for the best movie I've ever seen. Yeah, it's pretty heavy but, for me, it's the best one if I had to choose a "best."

    My favorite movie, as you (and this site knows from my numerous times talking about it) know, is George Romero's 1968 original "Night of the Living Dead." 

    You can watch me in "The Shawshank Redemption"- - I'm an extra in that one, ha! I've only been able to tolerate watching it about twice - - great movie but it's hard for me emotionally. Great all-around movie to me. My  favorite parts are Thomas Newman's original music score for the film -- outstanding. And William Sadler in the movie; he plays "Heywood," my favorite character in the movie and Sadler's performance is great to me.

    Yeah, feel free to message me any time. Or maybe I'll post a huge list of movies I like right here! Ha!

    OH!!! and George Romero's "Creepshow"!!!!! God, I LOVE that movie -- its tagline is 110% true for me -- 

    "The most fun you'll ever have being scared!"

    It's a horror/comedy movie! :) :)

    Good Morning~ :) :)
    I have a HUGE SMILE.  One of relief and one filled by your humor. :) :)
    Yesterday, when I asked this question, I was in serious doubt about my spelling.  
    I worried I might have asked all of you to adopt a matanee as a date, grab some weed (instead of popcorn), and a classic movie as a way of passing your afternoon away.

    I wasn't brave enough to look until this morning. 

    That was a close one! 
    Still, who knows?  Maybe this loving and adorable manatee would like to go on a date.  It never hurts to ask.

    Big winks and smiles!

      Wait, don’t start the movie yet, let me get in position first!  Ok, I’m ready now; you can go ahead and hit ‘Play’!

      “Beaches” and “The Notebook”?  The rest of you go on without me; I think I’ve found the spot where I’m going to spend the entire night.

    Awesome!  A second vote for Matinee.  Is that the way you spell it? I know it has one of those fancy thingys on one of the "e"s.
    Thanks Bob Harris.
