There’s something about catching a movie from your youth on tv. You plop on the couch, turn on the tv, channel surf a bit, then there it is, an old movie that just started or about a third of the way through. A movie you really liked when you were younger like Breakfast Club or Singles or Interview with a Vampire.
And you just sit there watching for a while. Recalling where you were the first time you saw that movie. Who you were.
You do this until your thoughts are no longer about the movie, they’re about you. How you wore your hair puffy and teased to look just like the actresses in it. How you bought the soundtrack because there was this one song you loved. How you memorized the lyrics to that song. Danced to it with whatshisface at some random party.
And then you look up and it’s still there, the movie that brought you to that place where you just were and you think, “Damn that movie is old. Jennifer Jason Leigh was still sikat.”
