I love my wife...

I love her dearly.

But how the hell have we been together for almost a decade (we moved in together superbowl Sunday 1999) and I learn only now that she's never seen Goodfellas?

I mean, I thought we'd watched it together. At least, you know, fragments here and there. But no.

Man, that more than makes up for me not having seen It's a Wonderful Life.

...not really.

Well, hopefully you're going to rush to the video store and correct BOTH these shortfalls... :)

Bitterguy's seen Wonderful Life now: we caught it at the holiday party! So that's sorted.

As for Goodfellas? Ebert called it the greatest movie of the Millennium, and I might well agree (though he did have Scorcesse as his guest on that show). But then again, I hadn't seen Wonderful Life until the party either.

So, I dunno. I think that without either of those two movies, your pop culture immersion is utterly incomplete.

Don't feel bad, I think it was six or seven years when I found out Mr. Man doesn't actually like ginger bread. I'd make it every year for Yule, when I don't like it, only to find out he doesn't like it either. Just goes to show that your spouse can still surprise you with things you don't know about them.

Ginger bread is one of those things that's great in theory...

[thebitterguy]

And awesome in practice!

I haven't seen Goodfellas either.

I only saw The Godfather this year.

I went through a phase where I was very interested in the Mafia, but it was in high school.

Yeah, but Goodfellas transcends and defines its genre. It's that darn good.
