Scenes I Wish I Had Written
So I am still working on the church list, it has some potential to really make me laugh so I am taking my time.
But for today I am stealing from NPR. “Scenes I wish I had written.”
I tell you when I heard this program on NPR the other morning, I immediately started thinking of what scenes I wish I had written. Of course, I wish I had written the touching scene where Vadar reveals himself to Luke as his father, while Luke is hanging on by one hand. But I think I would have changed it to make Luke think that he was a test tube baby and son Lando. I also wish I could have wrote the scene in My Girl where the little boy dies, but once again I would have changed the scene to have him live, and just end up maimed a little. Also the boy in me wishes I wrote the scene in Indaian Jones Temple of Doom, where the guy rips out the slaves heart. Of course! But I think if I were to have to pick one, (and I can not pick anything from the upcoming Dukes Of Hazard since I have not seen any of the scenes), I would have to pick the car chase scene in the Bourne Supremacy! For some reason I loved that scene more then I love eating at Del Taco! Having only been in a few crashes in my life, it just seemed really real.
OK, so if I were to pick a movie that did not involve blood, or crashing, I think I would have to pick from one of two movies. The first Legends of the Fall, the scene where Tristan’s wife gets shot and he walks over and picks her up. Very good. The other scene I wish I had written would be in A River Runs through it, and no I do not have a thing for Brad Pitt, he does have a nice arse, but that’s it! So anyway the very last scene where Norman is all grow up and is fishing by himself and Robert Redford (who’s house I threw up at once) is narrating the final message of the movie. A small tear always tries to work its way up during that part. Probably because Paul just died a few scenes earlier and the Reverend went crazy.
Of course I keep thinking of more and more scenes I wish I had written, like in Teen Wolf, where Michael J Fox is Surfing on the roof of his van. A pure theatrical master piece! See I better stop now or the list will keep growing and growing!

What about the scene in 1982's Savannah Smiles, where she is returned to her family? I would have loved to have written that one.
Paul
I don't think so Paul. That show was not right. You see being from Provo, I know that on top of the Bridal Veil falls is just more cliffs, not a big meadow that you can drive an old station wagon up to. I don’t think I would ever want my name on such inaccuracies!
Wow... I like what Paul wrote, but not more than what you wrote. I have always loved Savanah Smiles. The final scene is filmed at Bridal Viel Falls.
You puked at Redford's house? Is this why you can't get me lift tickets over Christmas? No, I am not dropping it!
Don't feel bad, I am into Brad too, even though I know it is totally main stream to be digging him.
I am not "into", and besides, I was into him way before it was main stream!
Your Bridal Viel comment was not there when I posted mine... the mis-order of things bothers me.
So you are into Brad... do you write his name on your underwear too?
Dearest Cameron, Where are you? Please don't go the way of Ted. I miss your rampant blogging and me l-ing ol in response. You have to promise to keep blogging until you have done a "100 Things" list about yourself or at least until Christian finishes the play house.
Ok, don't just think of me. Think of those other 74 people who have viewed your profile. How can you let them all down? And what of your top 10 lists--empty promises?
I can't believe that you were able to get Kacy to swear on your blog... she must really be mad. When I was visiting at Thanksgiving (btw, thanks for dropping in and saying hello... oh that is right you didn't =() she asked me if I had posted a new blog, I replied that I had and she said in a condescending tone... oh, that is right, you said shit in it,didn't you... Anyway my point is that Kacy doesn't like bad words and doesn't like it that you have stopped blogging. I don't like it either. I felt like we were making up for lost time through our blogs, but I guess friendships just aren't as important to you as they used to be.
I miss your blog Cameron.
Correction: I spelled s-h-i-t. That is how nerdy I am. And you are right. It takes a lot to provoke me to profanity.
Cameron, Does it make you feel like a big man to ignore us like this? Does it make you feel like Ted?
(Appeal to Cameron's vanity)
Blogs I Wish I Had Written: Cameron's
I can do this all day Cameron. Why? Because I don't have a job. You don't know the meaning of the word harass. I'm just getting started. . .
