Well, now I can't sleep. Damned "Bridge to Terabithia!" **SPOILER**

I rented this film from Netflix to watch with my kids, but watched it on my own tonight first. I thought from the trailers it was some movie about some fantasy world--those seem to be trendy right now--but it's about a couple of smart kids with vivid imaginations growing up in a rural area where they don't fit in. Kind of like where I grew up. So I was just getting into the characters and their relationships, and opining to myself that AnnaSophia Robb is one of the best child actresses I've ever seen, when, catching me completely off guard, her character drowns and breaks the heart of the male role--the one I was identifying with.

ARGH! Now every time I close my eyes, I have this image of something happening to my own kids. I can't sleep, and I can feel a mild depression creeping in. You know the type, where you remember childhood friends who died and start obsessing on the inevitability of everyone around you dying? I knew I should have watched "Casino Royale" again instead!

Okay, sorry to bother youse. Back to the fray. :)
