The English Patient is on TV. When I first watched it ten years ago, I thought it was the 2nd longest movie on the planet. (The first being The Adventures of Baron Munchausen). Worse than being over long, it bored me. I don’t care how long something is if it can hold my attention it’s good. Ten minutes can feel like an eternity in Satan’s mouth.
Now, I’m not bored and I’m enjoying it, although will need to go to bed before it is over because the thing is still 162 minutes and with commercials that is just impossible.
I wonder what is different between the 26 and 36 year old Nicole. . . I have ideas. . . But I wonder. . .

The real test is if, ten years from NOW, you enjoy Citizen Kane. I tried so hard to watch that movie, seeing as it’s often voted the best film ever made, but I just can’t do it. That was 5 years ago, so maybe I’ll give it a whirl in another 5.
