Oh yeah, deja vous. By the by, here’s a trick I use when I’m commenting and I get stuck for the spelling or the meaning or just a character’s name. I quick copy what I’ve written in the comment and then google whatever it is I am puzzled about. And yeah, the critics panned the movie as possiby too formulaic and inconsistent in its time sense but I thought it was tight and well done and well worth the thoughtfulness it provoked.

I also came across the Bobby movie you brought up when i was noodling around the old cable on a rainy day. The folks in Maine should have been broadcasting it every damn day before last Tuesday.

So I went and dug up this movie and watched it. I hadn’t seen it in years and was surprised at how profound it still is. I was wrong about the title it’s Bobbies Girl not Bobby’s Girl. Oh and it’s set in Ireland on the coast where they own a pub, Bobbie and Bailey that is.

Here’s a bit about it from somewhere, it’s VHS:
***
Bobbie (Rachel Ward) is struggling to deal with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer and who finds out that she’s the guardian of her orphaned nephew. Bailey (Bernadette Peters) is her partner who does some major maturing as she copes with a new “son” and Bobbie’s cancer. Jonathan Silverman is fantastic as Bailey’s brother. Thomas Sangster is devastating as Alan, Bobbie’s nephew.

The story is wonderful – neither promoting nor defending sexual preferences. It doesn’t need to. When faced with tough situations we are all reduced to the same emotions and that’s the focus of the film.
***

And just for fun Kelley have you seen Denzel Washington’s DeJuVu or however you spell that? It’s a great movie, not apocolyptic but rather a disaster with all of the ingrdients that you listed and it has Washington of course well worth seeing.

Oh yeah Bernadette Peters I couldn’t remember her name so thanks. She was in a wonderful little movie with Rachel Ward called Bobby’s Girl. They were lovers and owned this pub with a quirky wonderful thing going on with the employees. Wards charactor’s sister dies making her the aunt and sole person to take of her nephew Bobby., There is so much in this movie to enjoy and be involved with I highly reccomend it iif you can find it. It’s one of those really good movies that may not have made it to DVD, I have it on VHS and that may be the only way to get it but anyone interested might try tracking it down that way. I will add that it’s worth the effort. I could put some shout to see if ther are any copies out there I know netflix doesn’t have it I checked there first.
