Happy Anniversary to The Wife, also known as Lisa The Love of My Life!
This year, I cherished sharing my VERY BEST movie experiences with her – my top two movies Boyhood and Ida, along with the very moving Alive Inside. (She loves to catch me weeping at a movie.)
She tolerated my spending huge chunks of time at Cinequest, the San Francisco International Film Festival, Noir City and French Cinema Now. She even accompanied me to four Cinequest screenings (The Grand Seduction- YAAY!) and sat through the looooong Mr. Turner at the Mill Valley Film Fest.
Without her pressing me, I wouldn’t have seen Gone Girl, and that would have been a big loss for me. It was even HER glorious idea to settle in for a Bogie double feature of The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep!
She’s the biggest fan and supporter of this blog, and I appreciate her and love her. Happy Anniversary, Honey!
great post today…..
And happy anniversary to you husband, Mr. Movie Gourmet. Thank you for expanding my cinematic horizons — although not quite far enough yet to appreciate more than one French comedy a year! And I do appreciate how you make an effort to balance film festival time with family time — great growth on your part that does not go unnoticed. I love how you have taken this hobby and figured out how to share it with others.
And, yes, I love seeing you tear up and cry at a good movie– it is part of what endeared me to you all those years ago and it still does.
Love,
Mrs. Movie Gourmet
Yep…she is a keeper but then she’s lucky to have you putting up with her “no meat on bones” just to mention one challenge she presents. A suggestion for the blog…maybe slip in a recipe or two to prove you know what a gourmet is. You have the chops…pun intended
Congratulations to my friends The Gourmets, a wonderful couple!
