I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow

It’s 1:04 am (Which is really 12:04 in my brain) and I can’t sleep.
I’m not a big ‘movie watcher’.  I like stuff like CSI and Forensic Files.  When I was kid though, movies were the shit.  I grew up in a town where we had 3 television stations. PBS. ABC and if the weather was right CBS.

I remember the day my mom came home with a rented VCR.  We must have sat around and watched everything they had in the very small video store in our town.  When the prices of a VCR came down, we bought one and that started my love of anything that could be rewound and watched over and over.

My friend, Cori Pignataro, had 2 movies that she watched over and over at her house.  I would have to say we saw those two movies at least a hundred times in the 4 years we spent our days together.

Poltergeist was her step-dad’s favorite movie.  After school and he got off of work we had to watch his taped “General Hospital” and “Days of Our Lives”.  After we were caught up on Luke and Laura, then Bo and Hope we would watch Poltergeist.

The other movie is my guilty pleasure movie.  Cori’s dad never stuck around if we put it in to watch it with her older sister.  Purple Rain.  We knew EVERY.SINGLE.LINE of that movie.

Tonight, plum out of Forensic Files (by the way, I have seen EVERY episode of that show…and concluded, I might need to move the dead bodies of my ex-boyfriends to another location…my backyard just isn’t safe anymore.)
Purple Rain was on this channel I had never seen before.  I decided, “What the hell. It will at least knock me out and I will fall asleep.”

No such luck.  Damn movie sucked me in like I was 13 all over again.  I wanted SO badly to stand up on the hope chest at the end of my bed and dance to Morris Day and The Time and It took everything I had not to belt out, “Baby I’m a Star!” at the end of the movie.

Okay, I have admitted my secret guilty pleasure movie. What’s yours?
