I am sooooo going to this, some of my favorite films, even  the ones that Robin was Not involved in! I've got to meet this man, and see Hook on the big screen again. I love the unexpected bliss, when it catches me off guard. When I look for it, sometimes it hides from me and when I start to think it is not there, I catch a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye. I have to remember not to take the bliss/sychronicity for granted.
