Waiting for Henry to pick me up so we can leave for the hospital, and obviously catching up with my lost time online *g*

I finished watching Mambo Italiano and that movie is the sweetest story ever! It made it to my Favourite Comedy List. It had some serious tone too, but the comedy prevailed and I laughed all the way through, which I definitely needed. When Angelo ended up with Peter, I cheered like mad. I felt sorry for Nino and the lies he'll have to live, but he asked for it, and in the end Angelo found someone who treated him as he deserved so all was well - besides I really liked Peter, so there *g*. And Gino, Maria and Anna? So made it to my Favourite Movie Characters List too! How more endearing can you get, seriously?

On a different note now, I remembered something from when I watched HCL. It's just a detail but it made me smile - did you know we can link HCL to TS and SG and XF? And vice versa obviously. It doesn't have anything to do with anything, but like I said, it amused me *g*

Sure, I got a copy myself, so I'll just make another one *g* You'll just have to be a bit patient because I can't do it at home atm, since Danny-the-CD-burner is sorta dead... for now, it'll come back to life later, of course.

It's funny because when you see the beginning of the movie, there's no way you could realise you're actually seeing Angelo's future partner - that's so sweet *g*

Okay, I did warn you that it was a detail, right?

So, Mary the Fan? The actress played in X-Files, Stargate and The Sentinel *g* She was Samantha in XF, Keerah (sp) in SG and I don't remember her name is TS.

Oh yeah! Mary the fan, the mother of Billie's daughter. Yeah, she'd very good -and very sexy too. Poor Mary, when she learns that the boys are fucking each other..

OH! Au fait. Tu te souviens quand tu m'as donné le lien pour Kassandra's fics? Le lien ne fonctionne plus. J'ai pas pu récupérer "Out of the Dark". Est-ce-que tu pourrais m'envoyer la fic à la place? Merci.

Oui, j'ai vu que ça ne marchait plus. Je vais essayer de la retrouver sur un de mes disques de sauvegarde et je te l'enverrai.

The thing about Mambo Italiano that made it so "true to life" for me was the accurate depiction of an Italian-Canadian family. I've got relatives in Montreal and spent a lot of time there when I was growing up and can so attest to the authenticity of the story. In fact my uncle was a cop!

I think my favourite scene is the whole, "my son is the best homosexually" routine. So true to our family at least. If you can't beat em, join em and make sure you're the best there is at whatever. I though Ginette Reno was absolutely hilarious as the mother. Every time she'd pronounce homosexual, I'd die laughing.

I saw this originally at the show with my whole family and we just sat there and laughed out loud throughout the movie.

They depicted an Italian family --Canadian or otherwise-- perfectly, which is why it made me laugh so much harder, I second that lol
