Do You Know What Day It Is?

It's International Somewhere in Time Day! (The 100th anniversary actually - sort of. Maybe the 31st - hard to say. It's time travel, people!)

Celebrate this momentous occasion by screeching the name of the person you love enough to travel through time for.



I could go into great detail about the significance of this movie in Rexburg Mormon culture and the story of how I saw it for the first time at the "little theater" at Ricks College where they showed the whole movie except for the (ahem) inappropriate parts.

But I won't.

Suffice it to say, it is an awesome piece of early 80s super-dramatic cheese, and I love it dearly. Christopher Reeve's character, Richard Collier, travels back in time to June 27, 1912 in order to meet Elise McKenna. They fall in love and overcome all the obstacles in their path, only to be thwarted by a penny from the future. Ol' Richard dies of a broken heart but is reunited with his groovy lady love in the afterlife. (The joke in the "little theater" was that the part they cut out of the movie was Richard and Elise getting married in the temple.)

Live it up, people! Reeeeeee-chard! Reeee-chard!
