• WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD •

Do yourself a favor before your day gets hectic and stressful...  take 2 minutes to enjoy this stunning collection of imagery from BBC, and be sure to watch it in fullscreen for maximum impact.  If this sort of gorgeousness doesn't make you feel lucky to be alive, you might need to check your pulse.

P.S. Isn't David Attenborough's voice the best?  The answer is yes.  Yes, it is.   

Oh my gosh, my life is complete!

Please excuse me while I geek out on you for a minute...

After seeing Before Sunrise, I was left feeling so spurned.  I needed closure!  I needed answers!  I needed a sequel!  Happily, a whole decade later, Before Sunset came along and neatly tied all of those loose ends into a big, gorgeous, glowing bow.  That was that, and with that *squeeeeeeeal* GREAT ending, I was totally satisfied.  I never imagined that the Delpy/Hawke/Linklater trio would once again revisit the Celine and Jesse relationship - so THIS... this is such a cool, unexpected bonus of a film.  They've finally released the trailer for Before Midnight, and I am SO excited.  Can you tell?  Are you?!

I've carried this ongoing love story with me since I was a teenager, and its appeal hasn't diminished a bit.  My mom had "As The World Turns", I have Celine + Jesse...  I even dragged Jeff into the ridiculously crowded Shakespeare & Co. in Paris (Footnote: Literary history aside- it was also a prominently featured shooting location in the second film) to buy the 2 in 1 screenplay of the first two films.  AND onto a super fun, but cheesy boat ride along the Seine (yes, another scene from the sequel).  But you know what... I'm not even ashamed to admit it, these movies are a total obsession for me and I feel like singing and doing dramatic pirouettes all over the house in anticipation of seeing this one.  

YAY, LOVE!
