Greenland is covered with ice, and Iceland is very nice

Famous words from the female assistant coach on the Iceland team in D2: The Mighty Ducks, one of my favourite movies as a young teenager. Of course, this had nothing to do with the fact that the very hunky Scott Whyte was playing the bad boy Gunnar Stahl (he appeared again in D3, playing a different character). Back in the days of laser discs(!), we used to go to a place called Home Entertainment, where you could rent a movie and watch it in a private room. The whole family used to go, and on occasions, with family friends or my cousins. Good memories, always lots of fun. That line is very helpful when you're trying to remember which is which, and I recited it (sis joined me halfway through) while watching Fantastic 4 this afternoon. There was a shot of Greenland and all the snow-capped mountains. Looked cold but at the same time, very nice and serene.

On the subject of movies, I watched The Notebook on telly last night. As it was on free-to-air, all the kissing (and the very minor almost-sex scene) was obviously cut out, so it made the movie a little disjointed and unsatisfactory. All the same, that movie never stops me tearing up. I know, I am such a girl. But when a girl asks a guy how come he never wrote to her, and he replies (truthfully), "I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you every day for a year", *swoooooon* how can you help but to feel a tugging at your heartstrings? You have to watch the movie to understand. Preferably the full version. It loses some of the impact and lots of the passion otherwise. :)
