[fandom] movies and Hawaii
I'm watching 50 First Dates and am in love with it all over again. Hawaii. Sailboats. Animals. Spam and eggs for breakfast. Lucy who is absolutely adorable and builds volcanoes tee-pees (though they look like volcanoes) and things out of her waffles and adores her father and her brother and picks a pineapple for her father's birthday. Henry is kind of an ass, but it works for the story. I should watch Blue Crush next, then Lilo & Stitch. To make it worse, I was going through pictures earlier, and hit the Hawaii ones. God, Bob Marley music, too.
I want to go back. I want to move there right now. Why does my career take me so far from it? Why aren't any of my people there are anymore?
Why did I choose this movie? I know I put it in just for Hawaii, but what was I thinking? I want to go back.
And fishbowls! Which I actually never had until I came here, and still don't have them often, but they are tasty. There is a delicious Hawaiian Long Island fishbowl here which makes me happy.
"Not aloha hello, aloha good-bye."
"Hey, tattoo face!" "Hey, peanut butter cup!" (I kind of love Tattoo Face.)
Things I had forgotten which I love:
- Lucy is hardcore and beats the shit out of what she thinks is a mugger.
- The videotape of memory.
- Polygamous walruses!
- Lucy's father and brother working so hard to give her a stable day she relives.
- Actually, everyone pitching in together to give her a stable day.
- The freaking serenade under the moonlight with dolphins in the background. That's some ideal wooing right there.
- Lucy's awful singing voice and her wonderful art.
- Lucy breaking up with him so he won't sacrifice his dreams just to try to help her fall in love with him every morning - and her plan to erase him completely so it's as if he never existed. It's heart breaking, the way they sit there together and erase him from her journal, from her life. And then they burn the journal entries, with the rain coming down outside, and oh, my god, how much would it hurt to know you were losing your life every single day and that you couldn't have the life you want and the life he wants because you won't fucking remember it the next morning. Kids? She wakes up nine months pregnant every morning for that month without knowing she's pregnant? Or waking up to a baby she doesn't know is there? Or a surly teenager? Wake up every morning and find out you don't get to do the job you know you love? Wake up and not know you love the person lying next to you?
- And the way Lucy's dad and Henry bond.
- Lucy's studio. You guys, LUCY'S STUDIO!
- The last videotape, with the wedding and being on the boat together and their daughter and her dad being on the boat with them and oh my god.
I'm going to have to go for a long walk tonight to walk off the melancholy and the loveliness and the heartache and the want. Ninety-nine percent of the time I am happy living alone. Tonight is one of those nights, but not quite, just skewed to the left a bit.
Not to mention the end song is perfect, Izzy's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" which is the best version of it ever.

Also, my parents are in Hawaii right now, and I'm insanely jealous (never been).
