The greatest thing you'll ever learn...

Moulin Rouge still makes me cry at the end.

Ewan fucking McGregor, man. Of course, Baz is partly to blame, since he doesn't have a problem with actors seriously crying (see: Romeo and Juliet for more ugly and real crying from a Baz film). And Nicole is perfect in this, truly. Gorgeous and tragic and, dude, her skin glows.

I've seen this film... I couldn't possibly count the number of times. And yet, it captures me each time. I laugh and weep with just as much fervor as the first time I saw it in theaters. It's such an intensely cathartic movie -- it gives you permission to feel on an epic scale.

That is, in fact, just how it is with me and Farscape. I try (and, in that case, I actually really like the individual actors), but when it comes to watching the episodes... I'd really rather just not. It doesn't catch me.

See, I'm the opposite, Farscape grabbed me in 10 minutes. But I keep trying to like Moulin Rouge but I just can't seem to.
