Benny & Joon, as always.
How many times have you watched that film?
Too many times. I stopped counting four years ago. I'd say 500 times. My boyfriend used to tease me about it because he say "This is your 1 millionth oneth time," and the number go up everytime he see me watching it.
I'm watching it again. Fergusons. Sam is juggling the food.
I watched it yesterday. I have a friend who adores Johnny Depp and was determined to show us his gorgeousness in the film. Before the film started, she turned to me and said, "Don't be offended, but Joon reminds me of you." (I believe the similarities were numerous but included some physical features, touchaphobia which I had at the time I met her (though that girl seemed fine with Depp being all over her), and being "smart and full off herself."
OK, fine, I saw some similarities, but I was only able to predict one line, which I do every so often, and usually don't mean to- I'll throw out what I think
should be in the dialogue but what I don't expect to be. I believe the lead-in that I responded to was (and I am sure I will be corrected on the exact wording):
"How long have you known this man?"
The man in question was being treated as if he was someone the person being questioned had known for a good deal of time, and I fully expected the person being quetsioned to respond with a reasonable-sounding lie. So, I ad-libbed what I thought would be stupid, but funny:
"Seventy-two hours."
I turned out to be right- and I've done it with other movies too, though fucked if I can remember which ones and which lines.
