I just saw "Leaving Las Vegas" for the very first time this evening. A very depressing and dark movie but a gem of a time capsule that gave a glimpse of what life was like before the Internet, before 9/11 and before reality shows took over our way of living. I'm glad I saw it now so I can appreciate this tragic story of two lost and lonely souls finding each other, if only for a short time. If anyone in the community had seen this movie, what's your opinion?? I believe it is better to have someone in your life than to have no one. I have made a few friends in our community who have accepted me for whom I am, warts and all. Perhaps if we can look past other people’s imperfections, then maybe there would be fewer lonely souls out there looking for someone to be with.

I believe our imperfections is what make us unique, so embrace them.  I have freckles!  lol

At my stage in life, a great story of the road less traveled, letting go, and starting anew. Bittersweet and funny. I'm not a fan of his politics, but this movie is worth the rental.

I love that movie. It incapsulates the feeling of isolation and disconnect. Also, when you make a connection with someone.

Really? I do as well. However, You wouldn't know it because of the light makeup I wear... Perhaps it's the German in us? so cute.  

Vonnegut and George Roy Hill... a combo that blew my mind even when I was a kid(and happened on this film by accident).
Can't say I felt the same warmth when I accidentally clicked on "The Birds" as a child. Blech!!!
