CLICK...

MCF had talked about movies that brought a tear to his eye and included CLICK. I thought he was joking because the trailers and clips I had seen were so funny.

Well, after having a wonderful dinner with my wife we sat down to check it out. It starts out as typical Sandler and even references "O'doyle RULES!" from Billy Madison. And then about two-thirds of the way through it I shed a tear. A little further into it I found myself literally bawling and trying to explain myself to my wife. I challenge you to not cry while watching this film.

I don't want to spoil the movie but there is alot to be learned from it. Even if you are not a fan of Sandler I would HIGHLY recommend this movie. I might even go as far to say it is his best work to date.

Sadly, after the movie ended I bid my wife farewell so that I gould get on my 360 and play some video games. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever learn. :(

Yeah, it's a strange hybrid of his goofy comedies and more serious dramatic stuff, but you don't expect the drama until you're completely immersed in it. I know exactly which moment got to you. Great flick.

this is a pretty funny reflection.

I've heard that it's good, but we haven't seen it. You're doing a good job of selling me a 360.

I finally got around to clicking through some of your other site. Good stuff! That car wreck looked godawful. I was in a fairly bad one in '89 ... had to be cut out of the car with the jaws of life, etc. The local newspaper ran picks of the rescue crew dragging my butt out. I oughta scan and post it someday.

BTW, what the heck kind of green spider is that in the "insects and animals" section? I've never seen anything like it.

I can't rave about the 360 enough... but unless you have an understanding wife/girlfriend/boyfriend...it can ruin you. Hooked up to an HDTV with surround sound and you will be in total bliss.

Thanks for checking out the other photos. That car wreck was in '92. Like any good wreck...I'd love to see your ;) Hope you had no long term effects. I broke the steering wheel with my face because the old cars had lapbelts, but the shoulder harness was an added feature that I didn't have. I got a new nose but still have a deviated septum. Allergy season sucks. And I still miss that Buick :(

I tried to find out what type of spider that was and sent the pics to a spider specialist but never heard back. It was only the size of the nail on my pinky but what an awesome little bugger. I always call him the "watermellon arachnid."
