Thank You

Darn it.
I used to be a movie lover. I loved most good films whether they were drama, romantic comedy, war, western...even musicals. I saw Moulin Rouge two weeks ago, on DVD. Last week, I rented Legally Blonde, a film I expected to enjoy. I didn't. I thought it was most unoriginal, unfunny, and a bore. The following day, I bought Moulin Rouge on DVD, and I've been watching it since...(without/with commentaries, behind the scenes stuff, choreography etc...there's a lot to get through!)
I have a sinking feeling that I'm trapped in a world where the only movie I want to see is Moulin Rouge. Every film I've seen seems to pale in terms of the enjoyment factor. Honestly, it's like a drug! Despite the sad ending, every time, it seems to give me a high.
Thanks a bunch, Baz, Nicole, Ewan and the rest of your accomplices, you have ruined my cinema-going forever. I'm off to find a "Moulin Rouge Anonymous" meeting.
P.S
Make it up to Baz for not getting a Best Director Nomination. Give it the Best Film Oscar...because we'll never see the likes of Moulin Rouge again. We'll have two more chances to see Lord of the Rings, and we've seen a Beautiful Mind several times before...Shine, My Left Foot, even Iris!
