Benny & Joon

anybody seen the movie?



Ah I am back with that movie again. My favorite. I was obsessed with it when I was 17 and I'm afraid I am again. I just had to go to Spokane to see their house because there was a rumor on IMDB about them burning it down for a scene but it was cut and i knew it wasn't true because no way the movie people would burn it down when someone already owned it. Of course it was still there and now I'm back in love with the movie again. I am in love with the character Sam. If he were real, I get in my car right now and drive all the way to the Benny & Joon town and try to steal him away from Joon.

The ending of the movie always made me cry after Benny kicks Sam out and Joon yells she hates him and then it gets happy again when they are back together. Of course I don't cry at the scene anymore. I still have the lines memorized from this movie four years back. I am still dying to make grilled cheese sandwhiches with an iron but never am motivated to actually buy an iron. My mother told me couple days ago my 16 year old brother and his friend made them using her iron because he told her but they used a different setting. But I have tried the balloon thing and the breakfast drink except I used creamy peanut butter and keloggs corn pops since we didn't have super chuncks and Capt N Crunch.

i love that movie and am still jealous you were able go to the house!...grr...i wish it would come on tv more often.

I love that movie! I've been tempted so many times to make a grilled cheese sandwich with an iron, but I'm afraid I'd ruin it.

Use wax paper or tin foil and put it on the bottom of the iron so it won't wreck it. Or you can buy a used iron at a second hand store for a few dollars.
