Westward the Women is absolutely the best movie I have seen all month, maybe longer.
Hello there, my little OK Kid. :-) I moved most of my post from the Taylor thread down here (so I did not overun your Taylor thread w/ my babbling about this movie..ha. You know me... gab, gab, gab. ha.
I am so glad you got to see this film and that you enjoyed it so much. I first saw this film when I was in grade school. (it was on a late late show and I recall sneaking into my parents room (after they had fallen asleep w/ the tv on) and watching this movie while sitting on their bedroom floor! ha. (I was such a little western junkie... ha... even at such an early age)
I did not see it again for many years but the story really stuck with me and I never even knew the title of it for most of my growing up years. I try to watch it every chance I get (but sadly was not able to watch it, or even get it taped today)
I agree with you about all the great performances too. It really is a terrific (and sometimes overlooked) film. It is one of the first films I think of for many of the actors you mentioned... including Taylor, but especially Emerson.
mini spoiler alert:
The scene that always tears me up the most is the one you mentioned where they are calling out the names of the women who were lost.... and their voices kind of echo. I also love when they FINALLY roll into town and the women start picking out which man is which. The look on Emerson's fella as they are dancing is a laugh riot, ha.
The part where the one guy takes the baby.... as he is helping his future bride off of the wagon is another touching moment for me.. gasp.. sob... And the Italian lady when she sees the fruit tree (was it oranges or was it lemons.. I can't recall) ugh... pass the tissues, kid. If I talk about it too much more I will start bawling too. :-)
Dadgum, Jackie... I wish I could have gotten this one taped today. (I am such a dope about checking that schedule) ha. I will try to make a point of catching it again the next time... there are some more "pecan turtles" in it for you, little Miss Secretary, if you help me to remember!! Ha.

Hi there, Miss G. I went searching to find out more about the story.. because I love a good cry now and then. After reading your comments, I did a little "googling" and I am glad to say I was able to not only find out more about it, but I also managed to find the film too. (its' a youtube) So I will stock up on more Kleenex and will look forward to a good sob (ONE of these days, I hope.) I have had sucha rotten schedule lately, I have NO idea when I will get to watch it, but it is definitely on my list now (along w/ The 39 Steps and one other recent youtube find I have saved (but who's name escapes me at the moment.. ha.) SOMEDAY I hope to have my own private little youtube film festival. Someday...
PS.. what little I saw from the youtube... I bet the screencaps were lovely... it has a really "rich" look to the black and white.

Oh my golly, Ms Cutter... fifteen people all using one name at the same time.. ha. That is almost as nightmarish a scenario as one person with fifteen (or more) names all at the same time.. but not quite. :-)
I think what I was replying to was the comment about the concerns over what would happen with a rule on one user name per ISP stuff. But thanks for the clarification on the "family" rule too. It is good to know the rest of the story as well, because as we have learned (sadly)... if there IS a rule here about almost anything... a troll will find a way to get around it.
-
Anybody have a reply for this person?
As a matter of fact, yes.
If more than one member of a family were to want to post on this site, I am sure they could appeal their case to the admins and an exception could be made to the one user one identity rule. No one here (that I am aware of) is being so hard nosed as to not allow for the possibility for such a situation to occur. All legitimate individual posters here should be allowed to particpate so long as they can do so in a civil and rule abiding fashion.
And so 'families that post together" is not what is being opposed by all the various people here desiring such a one user rule to be instated. What is being opposed here by all these legitimate individual people is the use of numerous multiple identities by one person in an attempt to mislead and "over run" the message board. A one user/one name rule is a very reasonable request and is long overdue.
(And PS: if someone used to post under a different name... and left of their own free will but would like to return to the board with a new name.. no problem. But leave your OLD identity behind and try to be up front about it for goodness sake. And this is personal experience talking here.. I left the board for quite some time a couple of years ago for personal reasons, and then came back under a new name... but I did NOT keep using the old one too. It is only common courtesy.)
Also it should be a permanent ban when someone is asked to leave for severe violations of the code of conduct too. A user should not be able to just "re-invent themselves so easily and show back up to cause more strife.
I am sure all the families (especially those with teens or young adults) who may want to participate on the board here together would agree to the value in having that rule firmly in place. And again.. if more than one person in a family (all sharing the same computer) were to desire to have seperate names, I am sure that a reasonable appeal to the admins w/ explanation would be all that was needed to resolve the problem.
The real issue is how to best deal with those who are seeking to mislead, stir up, and otherwise harass legitmate posters here (trolls if you will) and I think it is high time, and long overdue that this problem be addressed by the management of this fine message board, to insure that all of us who truly desire to participate can do so without all the trouble that has plagued this place for such a long time now.
Thanks for letting me put in my two cents. (and believe me, for those who might disagree with what I have said, I am well aware I may be overpricing myself by saying that. But for what it is worth, I have at least given a reply that asked for)

Oh good golly, Miss G. I TOTALLY did not look at your post before I put mine over you... (I just wanted Jackie to have her turtles, ha) PLEASE excuse my clumsiness. Wow, that was SOME link. I am so ready for us to take that "long lost sister" family reunion trip now to "the valley".
Ha.. Jackie.. Miss G... that song can be our "theme song". ha. We' can sing it as we are riding around in our wagon tour.. ha. :-) (I'll bring the extra Kleenex.... because you know as soon as we see the first familiar sight on that tour.. we will all bust out bawlin') :-)
-
Happy 8,000 little sweetie!!! (Here are some turtles JUST for you!! :-) Enjoy!)
-
Or would it be more torturous for me to say I have a ticket - and I am NOT going?
Good gravy, Mr. KIH. I HOPE you are only joking. That would be some fun you'd be missing out on for sure. (and PS: now I am on the edge of my seat to find out if you are serious or not.. ha. You've gone beyond torturing just the GREY DUDE and are picking on poor slobs like me.. (ha) You know.. the sad and overlooked (ha) poor midwestern "nothing is up to date in Kansas City" type folk.) :-)
-
WooHoo!! Congrats on the 12,000, little sweetie!! Cupcakes for everybody!!! :-)

Ahhhhhhhhhh, home, sweet home
HA!! I have always suspected as much. NOW we have the confession!! ha.
It's hilarious! It's the best musical ever made!
I am sure Rogers and Hammerstein will be happy to hear that.
Bunny killers!
He's had a stay of execution MUCH longer than he deserves.. ha. He is only ALMOST too cute to eat... something that chocolatey does not deserve to live.
-
I'm always sweet and innocent
Perhaps in some sort of whacked out wild and crazy parallel universe, maybe. But HERE in THIS part of the world...
Enjoy your Pop Secret... I mean Top Secret.. ha.
I am gonna pass. ha. That movie sounds about as appalling... I mean appealing to me as a meal of saurkraut and sawdust. HA!! here I thought Miss Whosits didn't like blood!
NO blood in Blood Alley (at least not enough worth mentioning) and NO blood in the chocolate bunny either.. ha. Just rich milk chocolately GOODNESS!!
PS: April... maybe along w/ our popcorn and chocolate bunny we should also have a little something special...
We will need something light and healthy after all that snack food. And we can send ALL the leftovers to the Grey Dude when we are done.. we know how much he enjoys his veggies.
-
the ballet scene is sweet and innocent, just like me!
So basically what you are saying here is that it is rotten... and well... UNinnocent.. since it is just like you?????
PS Miss G.... Blood Alley.. oh BOY!! I am SO there... ha. I will split that bunny with you right down the middle.

Do you think...perish the thought...that tcmprogrammr has seen our posts with
MrGrimes and....possibly....felt sorry for FrankGrimes and programmed the
evening out of sympathy??? GASP!
PERISH the thought indeed!!!!!!!!!! Oh no.. I don't think it was a sympathy thing.... I smell a bribe. ha. But wait... I am sure our dear and beloved programmer would never be so influenced by such an evil ploy as that (insert subliminal request to programmer for Blood Alley here, ha) ;-)
Maybe it was just a "fluke" ha.
Which Dukie movie shall we watch first? Or can you handle
Knight Without Armor again? I have yet to see it and I think tomorrow
is the perfect time....
OH gee.... a tough call. But even though an evening w/ the Duke sounds GRAND.... I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Knight Without Armor. I can't wait for you to see it.
Hey... maybe we could do a double feature.. we could start w/ Marlene and Robert.... and then finish off w/ the Duke.. ha. (do YOU have Blood Alley?? ha)
If you've got the movies... I've got the popcorn... I think I can even scare up a huge chocolate bunny left over from Easter. He would have been a goner by now, but he's just too cute to eat. However, I think for a gal's movie night.. we can make an exception. :-) -
Ha.. When I read that title, I about fell out of my chair. I never thought I'd live to see the day! (ha) :-) I will be busy most of the day tomorrow.. but wouldn't you know it.. I will be done JUST in time for THAT movie.. ha. Go figure.
Well, I no longer have any 'scuses for not watching that stack of DVDs I've been putting off tomorrow night
I will be right over to join you! I'll bring the popcorn.
-
If he steps TOO far out of line... I will MAKE time to come back for the hanging.. ha. My frozen ropes are in the freezer. Just say the word, little lady.
-
(cough.. sputter.. excuse my while I blow the dust off of this thread.. ha)
OH for pity's sake. I JUST looked on the TCM schedule for tomorrow night....
HOW much sway DOES Frank Grimes have with those TCM progamming gurus, anyway???????????????????????
(good grief)

Having too much time on my hands is making a long winded monster
out of me
NOT long winded.. NOR a monster. PERISH the thought.
OH girlie. I wish I had time to say more (but sadly for now I am on the "opposite end" of the "too much time" spectrum right now.) I have NO time to even go back and read through all the posts that led up to what you most recently shared... But I do plan to go back later and try to catch up on it all soon.
However I thoroughly enjoyed your MWSLV posts.. and just will just say for now how wonderful it is to see you "splurge" a little of your "down time" with us. It's been far too long since I last saw you get a chance to write for us like that. (Ha.. listen to me.. I am so egotisticall... you are writing for "us" ha. But golly girlie... I am glad you are at least willing to SHARE what you write w/ us. Wowsa.) Keep it up, youngun. :-)

Hey there Mr. Madhat Molo Dude....
Wowsa... when you decided to take a "walk" you didn't just fall in for a stroll... you went on a three mile hike with full gear!! :-) I have really enjoyed all your thoughts and observations (and your ponderings and musings) as to what it is that made Ellen tick. That for me is one of the more interesting aspects of the entire movie. Which may explain my little 'flight of fancy" about the dad.. I just wanted to figure her out... because although I DO believe... some folks are born to be "bad"... in a way.... maybe like little Rhoda... I also believe that the greater majority of ROTTEN folks are otherwise created (either by their own selfish desires or by their upbringing... or a combination of both) And I guess that I imagined Ellen more in that latter group.. a combination of her own selfishness and her parental upbringing. But if she was more of a "bad seed" as April's book implied... I guess that makes her all the more "scary", doesn't it? (yikes)
Molo says: Leave her to heaven, indeed.
It is an EXCELLENT title for the book/film isn't it? I think that there are some people and situations in this world that defy our abilities to "make right" and there are times when divine justice is all we can (and perhaps should) hope for. Who better to take care of things, than the one in supreme authority over all?
Personally.. I think there are also times when a crime (or criminal) is so bad that "worldy" punishment is not nearly enough either... so I am happy to trust in the highest authority to hand down the better "sentence".
For all my "peacemaker" ways, ha. I personally love those old westerns where the "hanging judge" hands down the sentence and says "may God have mercy on your soul" to some horrible awful criminal. And I alway want to add "because no on on earth is going to". Again... sometimes "earthly punishment' is just not bad enough. And that is how I felt about Ellen by the end of it all, even as much as I wanted to like her.. .and as much as I did find some of her actions to be understandable.
Still.. it was sad to see. She really was diving headlong toward her own judgment... and I felt like she more or less had NO idea (and like you said.. no concern) for the fate she'd brought about for herself. She was so consumed by her own desire to "get" her sister and her husband for what she THOUGHT was their unfaithfulness to her, that she was blinded to even the concept of the punishment (both earthly and eternal) that she was bringing on herself.
Wow.. she really was a loon, wasn't she?
Which brings me to my next point. As to whether this is a noir or not... I can see this film falling in to a more "psychological thriller" category just as easily as "noir" (something like... Night Must Fall... or Shadow of a Doubt.)
I know the debate on "what IS a Noir anyway?" will go on long after my chat on this dies down... so I am not even all that worried about it myself. I am not so educated yet as to have a real opinion on that subject and even if I did.. ha... who's to say whether it would be correct. But I do know that some folks take a broader definition as to what is the acceptable definition, so I went with that for the purposes of our chat and posted here in this thread. But I readily admit it may not fit everyone's definition. (and am not even sure it fits mine.. if I HAD a definition, anyway, ha)
But personally, I think when defining genres, some films can fit into a "this and also that" definition. And Leave Her to Heaven could be one of those.
(PS: Thanks again so much for those screencaps too... they are utterly gorgeous!!)
PS: Miss Bronxie... re: the Geritol.. ha. Does it come in Six Packs?? And if so.. pick one up and you and I can go out "drinking" HA!! I think I need it worse than you.. ha. In the meantime, I look forward to having you jump in and join us, kid. (about this film AND the Killers) "Walk" on in any time, young'un! :-)

Hiya Ms Favell....
I have been in a bit of a frenzy lately (trying to keep all my ducks in a row.. ha. Those lousy ducks) So I have not been able to get on here much the last day or so... but wanted to take a moment and finally get back with you about something you said the other day:
Jackie says:
I liked her almost even past the killing Danny section....I'm kind of embarrassed to say it. Danny was a bit of a pain who wouldn't take a hint
He was a bit of an annoying kid. But I think his biggest problem was that he'd bben sick for so long and was just so desperate to have his whole life (including his life with his brother) back to normal again. Who wants to be stuck in a convalescent home and not be around the one person you have in the whole world? He was starved for "family" and a normal life again.
But I also think part of the problem with his being so "clinging" and wanting to be around all the time was that Ellen created her "own monster" by her false kindess to him at the beginning. By trying to impress her husband how WONDERFUL she was in being so accepting of his own sense of duty and affection for Danny (and by pretending to adopt the same attitude of love for Danny herself) she more or less made her own bed when Danny responded to her attention.
He (and his big brother too) took her at face value. Why wouldn't they? Neither of them had any clue that she was anything but the caring, supportive, and loving "new sister" to Danny that she had been pretending to be. The only one who got his eyes opened early on about that was the doctor. And I wish he'd spoken up somehow... and maybe tried to keep Danny from going once he saw how two faced and rotten she really was... it might have hurt Danny... but it would have possibly saved his life. Or at least I wish the doctor had come forward about what he knew (to Cornel Wilde) after Danny died... because then maybe HE would not have been so clueless and could have put two and two together a little sooner than HE did as well) But alas...
and the whole "let's have everyone stay here indefinitely" was really kind of horrible to me. I couldn't have agreed more that her relatives should have known that they were in the way, and Richard should never have invited them so soon after the marriage. Where were they all from, these guys? Mars? It's Gene Tierney, for goodness sake! Spend some time alone with your wife! There are men out here on the message boards who would have traded places with you like a shot and been happy to kill someone for her.
But again, she should have just said, "I want to be alone with you" and if she had done that at the beginning he would have simply melted and said, "Ok, let's send your folks back home." But she was so used to getting what she wanted, she never even thought of
I think you are exactly right. And it is a very natural thing for a new wife to want to be alone with her husband. So those feelings alone, were not wrong. He really was a bit clueless... (you are right there too.. ha WHAT planet was he from anyway?? ha) but I think he was trying to please her... and the reason he did not really know how goes back to what we talked about earlier... she did not know how (or just refused) to communicate her real feelings. It was almost like she expected everyone to do things her way because she was entitled... but she also felt it was their duty to her for everyone to read her mind too. (Gee wouldn't THAT be nice sometimes? ha)
Or maybe she just trusted in her own skills of manipulation so much it gave her a false sense of security that she had control over everything and did not need to tell him how she felt, and made her all the crazier to find out she was wrong, when it did not pan out. Or maybe she really was very insecure in the great scheme of things and was just too afraid of LOOKING selfish by telling him what she really wanted)
I don't know. But GEE.. whatever the reasons... when she felt things getting out of control, she certainly had quite the way of trying to yank things back toward her own way of thinking, now didn't she? Just like a three year old when someone tries to take their favorite toy.. only on steriods maybe, ha.
-
Well so much for MY little flight of fancy about that DAD!!! ha.
I think you are right, it DOES make her sound ever so much more "Rhoda-like". EEWW... Creepier than the other scenario in a way.. she was just "born to be rotten"... PS... Ms Favell... gotta run, but will reply later.. you hit on something I want to come back to. :-)
-
Hiya little Miss OK Kid :-)
She decides early on to lie, to subvert her feelings in order to be the perfect image of what he wants.
Or at least what she THOUGHT he should want. I think you may be narrowing it all down even further for some of what made Ellen as "messed up in the head and heart" as she finally turned out to be.
I know I did a lot of speculating on the dad... but IF I am close... (and I freely admit it was all a lot of guessing so who knows?) and if he really did teach her that her real value was that she was there to "worship" him.. then the societal mindset of the day that your are speaking of.. where the women were looked upon as an extension of their husband's life.. and the husband then became their "work" (to borrow your words) would have made it even more inevitable for her to go berzerk the way she did.
And you are right too, about lack of communication being a big issue for her w/ her husband. And it wasn't like he didn't care about what she wanted or was thinking. I think he did at least try to figure her out sometimes. She did have chances to communicate with him... but she just tried to rearrange things for them both to make thier little world the way she wanted it to be, instead. She was an "arranger".
The way she proposed to him... without even really giving him a chance to agree or not would have really backfired on her if he had said no. So once he went along with her lie at the beginning (and helped her save face) it sort of made it even easier for her to at least think she was on her way to making all the rest of the arrangements for his life from there on out. And the way he let her decide almost everything (I want to do all the cooking, housework, etc) made her think he'd be a push over even more.
So when she saw she wasn't able to "push over" him or anyone else about Danny... well... she took matters into her hands on a completely different level... but the mindset behind why was the same... It was still her way of trying to arrange for her husband to only have the life she wanted for him. (And as a side note.. OH GEE...we now KNOW she really was a complete crazy before the killing started.. ha. WHO in their right mind WANTS to do housework??? ha. I only WISH my husband would have said... "Let's hire a maid", ha.
) And PS: I do agree with you how likeable she was (especially at the beginning) I think I mentioned it earlier in one of my other posts how confused it made me (at least to some degree) to find her have so many good qualities and to end up so rotten.
-
Hello there Mr. Madhat!!!!
First I just want to say THANK you so much for these GORGEOUS screen caps. Wowsa...
In that first meeting on the train, she stares long and hard at Harland.
It really was the first sort of "sign" that she had some little wheels a turnin' in the back of her mind. I wonder if she'd have given him the time of day if he'd been blonde? Or if he had a beard? Was it really the fact that he reminded her so much of her father? I think it must have been some sort of inner "kickstart" for her... Maybe she saw something in his nature that made her feel drawn to him too. What if he had not gotten off of that train when she did and then ended up going to the same place as he did too? OH my golly... talk about a twist of fate. It was almost as if it were "fore-ordained". Poor Richard was a sitting duck. (or was he a wild turkey? ha)
So what is wrong with Ellen?
Now this is where it gets really interesting for me. WAS she a homicidal NUTCASE before she met Richard or was she just a glutton for love and affection (because she had always been doted on by her father) to the point that it drove her over the edge to lose her dad....
I am thinking April is on to something about blaming the mom and dad... but I am not so hard on the mom. She may have been "shut out" by both Ellen and her husband. DID Ellen drive her dad over the edge to kill himself? (or worse.. did she kill him in a fit of jealousy?) I'm with you.. ha.. inquiring minds wanna know. ha.
But more interesting to me is whether she drove a wedge between her mom and dad (and her mom and herself for that matter??) Or.... was her DAD the real perpetrator of it all.. .setting himself up as the king (or perhaps even a mini-god) in Ellen's life? Perhaps he RAISED her to worship him (and then she lost the center of her being when he died.) I wonder if Ellen really was HIS creation.
Every parent likes to think of "passing a bit of themselves" on when a child is born. But perhaps when she was born he saw in Ellen a bit of his own "immortality"... and he loved HIMSELF more than her to the point that she became a little piece of himself to lavish his own love and affection on and possibly even worship a bit (again.. not because he saw HER... but himself in her) His reason for loving HER was not for herself, but because she was "his". And then as time went by, he raised and taught and "lovingly guided" her to worship him that way as well. Her value was not in being a lovely, accomplished, and strong young woman.. it was in being HIS daughter.
I have seen parents who strive to make themselves the be all and end all of their children's lives. And while that is a natural thing when a kid is a baby.. or even a toddler, eventually a child's focus should move away from mom and dad, ever so slightly and (gasp... as much as it might break a mama's heart, ha) that is the way it is supposed to be. But what if Ellen's dad loved HIMSELF so much that he never let that progression go forward for her... and it became his own form of self worship to teach her to worship him? (is this making sense?)
I am wondering if maybe she was taught to be "daddy's girl" to the nth degree... and when he died.. her "god" was gone and she was more or less left without anyone to worship but herself... because she WAS afterall... her father's daughter. And if she couldn't worship HIM anymore.. she could still worship "his" traits and "his" personality" that were still a part of her character. So the cycle of "whacky" just went a bit further for her.
Why does Richard invite her family up to "Back of the Moon" anyway? Is he that clueless about how she feels?
Poor Richard.. she more or less trapped him like a rabbit in a wooden box, didn't she? He got just a little nibble on that carrot and then, whammo... she pulled that stick and the box came down right on him. But he was a SAD replacement for her father. (which I firmly believe was her only real attraction to him) And there was no way he could even comprehend her warped view of what it means to "love" somebody so "consumingly" that you shut out EVERYONE and EVEYTHING else. And he certainly did not WANT to be "loved" that way. (like her father likely had)
He was just an "average guy" with a normal view of love and support for family (so yes.. I do understand why he invited Ruth and Mrs. Berent to join them.. he THOUGHT he was bringing who he thought were her loved ones to visit and keep her company while he was busy on his book.. he really was clueless about what Ellen really wanted)
And re:Danny... yes. I am with Miss Maven on that one. I think she was only helping him to walk to get out from under any obligation she thought her husband might have to him. If he could walk.. and get shipped off to school.. he would not be the stone around their necks that she perceived him to be, anymore. And then Richard would be free to focus soley on her again... which meant he would be totally HERS as well. Just the two of them... that is all she really wanted and it was the only focus for her.
Also what is the deal with changing her father's study into a nursery? Was that a not so subtle move by Mrs Berent to try and replace Ellen's obsession with her father to maybe a more healthy focus on her new baby. Did any of them really think that would make her happy?
You may be on to something with the Mrs. Berent angle.. maybe it was a "not so subtle" move.. but then again.. I am still thinking that Richard (and Ruth and the mom) maybe really were still "clueless". Even though the mom knew Ellen and how deep the twisted bond between her husband and daughter ran (and no.. I am not suggesting it was "that" sort of twisted... just twisted in a "psycho" sort of way) I am still thinking she did NOT really comprehend how DEEPLY awful Ellen was (or would become) when the "sactuary" or perhaps "shrine" of her father's study would be removed like that.
If Ellen was already over the edge by then (because it is clear she was due to her murder of Danny) then this was like taking her "BEYOND the edge of the edge and pushing back over it all again" It was like "The EDGE... on steroids".
haven't even mentioned Jeanne Crain's Ruth or that ending courtroom drama
I will look forward to it, sir. Post us some more LOVELY screencaps too, if you please!!! :-)
PS: Jackie.. THANKS for making this point..
what woman wouldn't want to get rid of her husband's relatives when you are first married? What woman isn't jealous of her hubby's career at some point in time? All these things are pretty normal feelings..... but how she acts on them is the part that's interesting
That is one of the things that took this film from just being your average tale about a "manipulative" self loving woman.. into some sort of pyschotic roller coaster ride. HOW she reacts to what should be "normal" emotion tells the real story.

Woo hoo, Mr. Madhat!! I am glad to hear you'll be walking with us on this one! Ya little basketball junkie!! Ha.
(I am picturing you and the Shiftless one holed up in some sports bar dancing a happy dance everytime your team makes a basket and then throwing stale popcorn at the tv screen when they miss a shot. ha... what can I say.. I have an overactive imagination sometimes. ha) PS.. I never got a chance to say it, but I enjoyed your comments on the Killers. (Kitty is innocent.. YEAH right!!) OH that one still gets me... ha
I will look forward to hearing your thoughts on Evil Ellen. :-)
RAMBLES Part II

Posted
Oh girlie.. you got me so hooked I ended up watching the first two parts.. I can already see where this is leading w/ the kids... OH me, it is getting my dander up... I want to give them all a swift kick to knock some sense into them.... but it is also breaking my heart watching it all play out..
Now I have to figure out how in the world I am going to find time to watch the rest of it. (snifff)
