My First Pick, Another Lessoned Learned

I am fully aware that the foundation of Team Club is not only that we appreciate films but that we also, "appreciate each other".  It is a shared delight in the various souls that comprise this team and club that birthed our four headed beauty and keep us watching movies together. However, as the time came for me to present my offering my palms began to sweat and I could feel my neck getting hot.  I was nervous.  I felt the weight of the evening on me.  The enjoyment of it rested on me.  My pick.  Sadly, my fear blinded me and made me forget the spirit of our assembly and in my head I began to hear a chorus of "thanks for nothing senior senior", between long exasperated sucks on cigarettes.  As we watched I could feel that the posse was into it but I was still insecure: is it dragging, too slow, boring, redundant?  Ha.  What an asshole I am.  The answer to worries is, of course: who cares.  This is Team Club.  We appreciate films.  And each other.  And what a grand thing for me to remember when the movie was finished and I heard things like "you just gotta strap in for the ride with a movie like that."  It was sweet. Since our meeting I have learned a few things about the film we screened. Some connections: I wanted to bring Fitzcarraldo but it was not in at film buff. However, Nastassja Kinski plays the mother in Paris Texas and she is the daughter of this guy and he is the star of Fitzcarraldo.  Also, ASD was sure that I would pick Nashville.  I didn't but the one I did pick stars the most amazing little boy and he is the son Karen Black aka Connie White. And Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith have said it is their favorite movie.  The band Travis was named after Travis. Tomorrow is going to be sweet.  I can't wait to pick again.
