My Heart is an Idiot

When I was 18 and fresh and new to the world of being an adult, I made a small documentary about love. I watched it about two summers ago and CRINGED. My idea about love and romance has changed SO much since I put that little video together years ago. But I still love to hear about what everyone else has to say on the subject, so when I saw that Davy Rothbart (creator of Found Magazine) made one about his love life and the turmoil in it, I knew I'd be marking my calendar to be one of the first to grab a seat. The movie makes it's world premiere in my town on April 22nd, and you bet I'll be there. I'm kinda nuts about lovey stuff like this, especially when it shows the ups AND the downs, because god knows relationships aren't always a bowl of cherries. Here's the trailer.

p.s. if I ever find the courage, I'll post some clips from the one I made. Believe me, you'll feel embarrassed FOR me. :-P

  1. oooh for a second I thought the clip was from yours! isn't it funny to think about what we thought about love when we were just 18! I have a niece who is 15 and about to go through all that stuff...wish we could impart some words of wisdom but they gotta find out alone right! off to watch the clip...x

  4. Amy, yes, I'm terrified about when my son first gets his heart broken!

    Julie, maybe someday! It's realllly bad, I mean, my disposition about love and relationships. Bad as in terribly naive beyond belief!

    D, it's a Double date! I told Mike he has to come with me. (he's so excited, not) :-P

  5. I love that title! I think I saw a trailer for this, which means it might be coming to the UICA here--I'll keep an eye out. Although, I have to say, it does look kind of painful to watch.

    I think my feelings about love and romance have changed a lot, too, since I was a youngun, but I think I might be more romantic now than ever before! How is that possible?
