Happy Anniversary to The Wife!

Happy Anniversary to The Wife, also known as Lisa The Love of My Life!

Once again, she tolerated my spending huge chunks of time at Cinequest, the San Francisco International Film Festival, Noir City, the SF Jewish Film Festival and the Mill Valley Film Festival.

We shared some of my favorite movie experiences this year.

• She accompanied me to see Eye in the Sky at Cinequest, Our Kind of Traitor at SFIFF and Robert Klein Still Can’t Stop His Leg at SFJFF.
• Together, we power-binged through The Bridge, The Night Manager, Luther and The Crown.
• Because she picks the Friday night movies, I get to tease her about the dogs like The Girl on the Train without giving her credit for the good ones like The Hollars.  And when she insisted – disregarding my opinion that this was not the movie for her  – on watching Mad Max: Fury Road,  I didn’t respond to her question, “Why am I watching this?”.
• I’m always hoping, hoping, hoping that she’ll enjoy MY choice for her to watch, so I was completely gratified by her LOLs during Man Up.

And, of course, she teases me for “the Romanian abortion movie”, “the Icelandic penis movie” and “the Ukrainian deaf movie”.

She’s the biggest fan and supporter of this blog, and I appreciate her and love her. Happy Anniversary, Honey!
