Unexpected Rerun

So heather got this movie from NetFlix and the longer it played, the more familiar it looked, even this fat, ugly stripper. All of a sudden a scene comes up and it snaps to me. I’ve seen this movie. I look at heather and shout “We’ve seen this!” She, strangely, looked confused, and apparently didn’t see it with me. The big giveaway that I’d seen it is that it takes place in Denton. My boss, Craig, brought the movie to my attention some years back and I watched it, I think, on a VHS that he recorded for me.

Its so weird because its a fiercely independent film and I’ve randomly stumbled upon it twice, now. Had heather checked it out of Netflix because it was flimed in Denton, it would be less of a coincidence, but she had no idea. Now I don’t know what to do, I want to watch this movie with Heather, but I don’t really want to watch the movie again, I remember being unmoved by it the first time. Not sure I want to see it a second time.

Oh, and why does everything in Texas have to be so damned “country?” Denton may have been a little bit more rural in 1998, but it was sure no flat, vacant cow-town.
