Boys Don't Cry

One of my all time favorite movies is "Boys Don't Cry". For those of you who haven't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. It features the fabulous Hilary Swank and various other actors and actresses who unfortunately do not share Hilary's fame, but an exceptional film nonetheless. (Ah yes, it does feature Becky from Roseanne, if you remember her.) At any rate, Hilary is a woman who has always related as a man and consequently lives her life as one, which goes swimmingly until she befriends a family in... perhaps rural Oklahoma? Texas?... and upon falling in love with one of the young women (who thinks Swank is a man), the girl's crazy male friends essentially make Swank's life hell. It's interesting and possesses much to learn, I think. At any rate, check it out.

So last weekend at Pitcher's, Darci and I experienced a true "Boys Don't Cry" moment. We were mesmerized, since we are both tremendous fans of the movie. If you view the movie, you will see in one of the opening scenes where a particularly intense moment happens between Swank and his future love interest during a karaoke display of "The Bluest Eyes in Texas". And I'll be damned if there wasn't a girl who looked exactly like Swank in the movie, karaoking some bizarre song I had never heard with a girl who oddly resembled the chick in the movie. The girl stayed on the stage and clutched her microphone with two hands, and the Swank look-alike stood on the floor off of the stage, and they gazed as each other lovingly throughout the whole song... very bizarre interactions, but SUCH a "Boys Don't Cry" moment.

OK, so maybe you had to be there, but it rivals as one of the most interesting Denver moments thus far. And since you aren't nearly as amazed as we were, at least this blog serves as an excellent plug for a quality movie. Check it out.

Will blog soon, from the new residence! Details to follow. :)
