___________ getting married

I just saw Rachel Getting Married (mom- you'll be proud to know I snuck in a bag of popcorn pretending to be fat/pregnant; sigh. the things you taught me!) It is shot in this really voyeuristic way using almost exclusively hand held shots and diagetic music. It very vividly and candidly illustrates how complicated, fucked up, beautiful, sad, and totally worth it it is to be a part of a family. To invest in people who don't always seem worth investing in. 

It made me miss Laura Jean and Dave. It made me want my mom to live closer to me. It made me want to call my dad. 

All in all, a rather productive evening, I'd say.
