Song of the Day

Pet Sematary - The Ramones

This is more for me than anyone today.  We watched Stephen King's Pet Sematary last night, and I love this song at the end. 

I hadn't seen this movie in so long, not since it was at the cinema.  I remember we must have gone to see it four or five times.  The local cinema used to have $5 Friday and that was where my pocket money went - every week.  We would often see the same movie until it left.  Then if we loved it enough, we'd follow it to the Drive-In, too. 

Of course that was before the cineplex and a greater selection of pics, so there wasn't really much choice in the matter anyway, but it was great.  Some of our friends thought we were crazy wasting our money seeing the same thing over and over, but my friend and I were so into movies that we couldn't get enough and didn't see it as a waste at all.  

One of our kids is going through a thriller phase at the moment, as you do, and it's great, we are getting to see all the flicks we grew up watching.  They laugh at places we used to scream, special effects have come a long way in 20 years! It's quite funny to watch them watching, actually.  I'm also enjoying hearing all the great music again, too.

As a writer it's a wonderful thought that if I write something good enough, people may want to read/watch it over and over.  I never gave that a thought back then, but I'm sure that's the best compliment we could've given King.

Happy writing ;)
