I keeping singing that snippit from Moulin Rouge's Elephant Love Medley over and over in my head.... (originally from Paul McCartney and that Dirty Dancing song)

I'd like to know

again....
Love lifts us up where we belong....

there are much worse things to have in your head. i for one, don't mind Ewan on the brain.

like you could have..um...Pauly Shore on the brain. Or Keanu Reeves. Dude...like...that'd suck, whoa.

Yeah, he has a decent voice and all...

Pauly Shore would be much worse.

Keanu... it depends. Matrix version would kick ass. Other versions... Totally Bogus! *air guitar*

I thought Ewan was incredible in that movie. What a passionate singer he is..brought tears to my eyes but I am a bit of a mush to begin with.

heehee. yeah, i'm a sucker for any scene in which a cute male character cries. or any passionately orchestrated death scene. i drip tears at the drop of a hat.

at least i can hold out on sobs until something really gut-wrenching comes along, like Requiem....

i just watched the series finale of buffy, season 2, in which angel 'dies,' and that tightened my throat up a bit... and i hardly ever cry. i think it was more the sacrifice of love thing than the death of a cute male. but hey, different strokes..

That was an intense episode. And the final ending where she leaves town? And Spike rising up from his chair to thwack Angel? I love this show!

I was thunderstruck. And I can still feel some of that emotion, even when I rewatch it.

Captivating, that's the word I'm looking for. Captivating

no no no....

no silly, it's a cute male crying *or* someone dying. anyone dying. especially if the near-dead is loved, or if they love, anything like that.

if i'm attatched to someone, i sit there thinking, "oh god! how horrible that would be!" if i'm not attached to someone, it's "oh god, how horrible that would be...but at least they had their time! oh!"

i'm just way, way too empathetic. it doesn't matter if a person isn't real - if they're just a fictional character - i still can't help feeling a little bit in their shoes.

i'm just silly that way.

It's fairly enjoyable, but it just won't get out!

Actually, the Saturday after I watched the movie, I found myself singing along to just about everything on the radio, including Lady Marmalade. It was a Moulin Rouge day!
and a Bohemian night too, but that's another storey.

La Vie Boehme!
