I don't like a movie to leave me feeling hopeless. <br /><br />Years ago, my daughter wanted me to watch a movie with her, and she said it was really "great." After watching a few minutes of sheer angst, I said, "This better have a happy ending, or I'm gonna smack you." She, who had already seen the movie, just smiled, but before the movie ended, she took off. The little brat. That movie was bleak from beginning to end... about teenagers living on the street, doing drugs, selling their bodies, blah blah blah. I'm not even sure of the title. Something like "The Morning After" or something similar to that. Funny thing is, now that she's in her forties, she likes movies with happy endings, too. :) (Oh, and no, I didn't smack her. I'm all talk...)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379826084010321238.post-72410012211048617222018-05-17T07:04:18.970-05:002018-05-17T07:04:18.970-05:00it is different, a bit edgyit is different, a bit edgyJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604494404874408870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379826084010321238.post-41212037035057893502018-05-16T16:05:18.212-05:002018-05-16T16:05:18.212-05:00First I've heard of it.
