Yes, my little journal blog is two years old. It has been good for me in numerous ways. When I first started, I wanted to use the blog to voice my opinions about politics. But behind this motivation was a desire to get into the habit of writing, actually developing a regiment that made me a more disciplined writer.
IN these two years, I have met and communicated with many great thinkers, writers, analysts, poets, comedians, chefs, and columnists. I've gained friendships along this journey that I am very grateful for. I'm a better writer and person for knowing you, dear reader.
Now, let's move on to the picture I posted above. Since it was my blog's birthday, I thought it would be fun to post the question: "What are your favorite birthday scenes in films?" I don't know about you, but I immeidiately thought of Sixteen Candles and The Godfather. We're all familiar, I'm sure, with Sixteen Candles--Molly Ringwald's love of her high school life surprises her with a birthday cake.
In The Godfather, I recall the scene where one of the head mobsters is walking up many flights of stairs for a meeting he was asked to attend. When he gets to the top of the stairs, opens the door, the lights suddenly come on, everyone screams "Happy Birthday" and he has a heart attack on the spot.
Other memorable birthdays in film:
- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
- Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone (Hagrid breaks down the door to give Harry Potter his birthday cake and to take him away to Hogwarts)
- The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (Bilbo Baggins birthday party)
Do any of you remember the film To Gillian on her 37th Birthday?
Dear reader, what say you about famous birthdays in film?
