Terms of Endearment
- Commentary: My goodness! Can you believe it? Here is a movie that completely got away from me! I didn't even realize I, or, formerly, we, had it, never entered it in my movie journal, although I know I've seen it, perhaps more than once and, certainly, with my mother. I'm sure we had it before her death. It's the kind of movie she would have liked, which is probably why it is in our collection. But, that I overlooked it! Yikes! I wonder how many other movies are sitting on the shelves that I've overlooked!
Well, when I'm done with the project, of "picturing" movies, I think I just start from "A" on the shelves and see if there are any others I've missed. I hope not, but I'm excited about the possibility of discovering "new content", as they say in the trades, although they won't really be new, but, simply, uncatalogued. Somehow, I think there are very few. In fact, I kind of think this is the only one. Well, we'll see.
I should probably write up this movie, my reaction, that is, but I think I need to watch it again for that!
