Thanks for the reminder. I really liked that movie, but then I saw it at the right time: I wasn't young enough to think life (at least my life) was going to be like that, but I wasn't old enough to be bitterly indifferent to them.Patrick J.

I think it's beautiful to find a way to not end their joy (after all, they found something to do instead of read that paper) but to remind us that there must be an end.

Also glad I was probably better than you at being young, although I also wasn't crazy about staying up all night since sleep has always been a great pleasure and a profound need.
