“Yes I had a small crush on Tatum as a kid.”

You had a crush on a kid? Were you a kid at the time? Or, as a kid, did you have a crush on Tatum O’neal?

Love Story. It was provocative for this young viewer, but later in life it was a bit less than life. If G.K. Chesterton were still alive he’d be writing a sound pox on Hollywood.

Forced, FORCED to watch Love Story at least a dozen times.

In High School, during school hours!

Between this movie and “Brian’s Song” it is a wonder my opinion of public education is not a whole darker than it is.

My lazy punctuation aside. She had won an Oscar at 10 for that movie. I was 11 or 12. So we were both kids I guess.

“Love Story” the movie loosely based on Al Gore’s Life

That movie must be about a politician who rises to the vice presidency and wins his party's presidential nomination by claiming that, among other things, that when he was a child, his mother sang him to sleep with a union song composed when he was 30, that his father, a Southern Democrat Senator, was a champion of civil rights, that he got shot at in Vietnam, and that he invented the Internet.

“Barf, couldn’t take Love Story.”

why? because, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” makes no sense whatsoever? ... still, that line makes for great memes, because you can subsitute almost any word for “love” and have a great joke, i.e., pretty much the only meaningful contribution this movie made to our (pop) culture!

Saw him a few nights go in one of those Westerns few people have seen. Saw it back in early 1971 and then again a few nights ago.
WILD ROVERS is a 1971 American Western film directed by Blake Edwards and starring William Holden and Ryan O’Neal.

didn’t that exact same thing happen in A Clockwork Orange, only with eye drops and eyelid clamps?
