Okay, so hubs and I finally went to see Marley and Me this past weekend (isn't he a dear for taking me to such a sap-fest?). I have been dying to see it, and at the same time ignoring all warnings from friends and family that I'd be a wreck...and to just wait for it to come out on DVD. But no....I insisted we go to see it in the theater, big screen-style.
So, we went to the dinner-movie place in Colleyville, which helped sell the idea to the hubs, since he could have a beer during this suredly sappy movie.
Anywho, to make a long and rambling story short, I must have been doing such a poor job at muffling my tears, sniffles and...okay....I admit....sobs, that one of the theater waiter folks brought me a huge bag of popcorn rights towards the end of the show (not at the beginning, when I'd have time to enjoy it, literally like 5 minutes before the show ended), for no reason at all. Well, let me rephrase that, for no reason at all, to me. Jordan seems to think it was for a very good reason, so that I might munch on the popcorn and perhaps silence my sobs. I choose to think she just felt sorry for me.
Either way, I was a wreck, a blubbering goofball. BUT, I must mention that I am due a certain monthly visitor (did I just type that) anyday now, and feel most certain that attributed to my weepy emotional experience.
Did anyone else out there get as choked up over this dear, dear movie? I mean, I know I am a dog lover, but geez, this was nuts!!! A great flick, but perhaps one better to be viewed in the privacy of one's own home :).

YES! I loved it, but I was a complete mess after. I couldn't talk as we left the theater, for fear that I might have a total melt down...
I will NOT see it! But sweet popcorn man!
I read the book and loved it. I haven't gotten to go see it b/c of Lila's arrival. Now I don't feel so bad about waiting to see it at home:)
i cried ALL THE WAY through it. not just at the end. and couldn't discuss anything about it for days because my lip would tremble and i would lose it. i had even read the book (which i laughed and cried all the way through too) a few years ago so as we watched it scott was SHOCKED that i actually wanted to see the movie, knowing everything in it that applied to us. ANYWAY, loved the book, didn't think the movie was half as good, and i will NEVER see it again!!! ha.
The book was SO much better...which I might add I cried throgh the whole book, as well as the movie. I think anyone that has ever loved or lost a dog can relate to it..plus I kept think that I have my Marley at home!! Not to worry - I was a mess and Joe witnessed it too!
AWE! I haven't seen the movie, but I'm just not prepared to see it yet. How funny that the waiter brought you popcorn...that is hysterical and really sweet!
I loved the comment you left on my blog about the hunting weekend! I KNOW we met at either Jay or JP's wedding...and actually I think I met you in the office one day when y'all were on your way to the lake house? Do that sound right? that would have been years ago! Crazy!!
Hi there! I haven't seen you in ages!! I did see it as well and sobbed! We had to wait for the theater to clear out before I could go face anyone! I was a wreck. I hope all is well.

so i have yet to see this movie. i read the book over christmas break to get all pumped up before seeing the movie. we had so many layovers during our trip home for christmas, that i ended up reading the entire book in one day in the airport and on a plane. i finished the book while out plane was on the runway (for 45 minutes) waiting for take off. i was such a wreck and crying so uncontrollably that i made myself sick and had to undo my seatbelt and go to the restroom. the flight attendant yelled at me in front of half the plane and said that i was causing a commotion and wouldn't let me enter the restroom-even though the captain had just said we were still 15 minutes from taking off. my immediate embarassment curbed some of my sadness from reading the book, but i definitely was sick for at least 24hours after "marley & me". it was not pretty.
sorry for the longest comment ever.
