Though even as my scrutinizing eye has soured many memories I've held for movies I hadn't seen since my youth, A Christmas story still smells crescent-fresh. It's not quirky- it borders on 'weirdo'/goofy for a mainstream flick. I think what I loved about it, is that amidst the 80's 222https://www.blogger.com/profile/17611978147829555930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117696345855488200.post-83863410617749613052010-02-18T12:02:03.797-08:002010-02-18T12:02:03.797-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.222https://www.blogger.com/profile/17611978147829555930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117696345855488200.post-84646618543131760082008-12-20T01:22:00.000-08:002008-12-20T01:22:00.000-08:00I saw it twenty years ago and again last year.

I suppose looking at it through an everyday lens there is no way to lose an eye that is normal, because the event in itself is abnormal, but looking at it through the world of lost eyes, a car accident seems fairly regular opposed to the aforementioned examles we provided: miniature golf and BB guns. But, maybe I just think of it as regular because it was normal richellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143246390442130088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117696345855488200.post-81583574157516142892008-12-18T13:47:00.000-08:002008-12-18T13:47:00.000-08:00Dear Miss Kitsch--I'm filled.I wish there was one ...Dear Miss Kitsch--I'm filled.<BR/><BR/>I wish there was one word to convey all that I am done with.
