The Perfect Storm

Time Travel Romance. It is what I have been waiting for, an un-timeless romance.

I say 'un-timeless' because most romances are always bound by some sort of time. Too often romance movies end sad, leaving tears and empty hearts. Like the Notebook when Noah and his wife are ugly and old so they decide to kill themselves together. Or like A Walk To Remember when Jamie decides to die and leave everybody.

Finally an author decided to incorporate time-travel and allow a love story to go on forever. Like a silk rose.

The name of the movie is The Time Traveler's Wife, it comes out soon. http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2784428569/

This genre was attempted once by Superman and Dr. Quinn in the movie Somewhere In Time. Only in this movie a really old women, I'm talking like 103 years old, creaks up to Superman and tells him to come back to her. I don't know why he would but he did. She was hotter younger, so he chose wisely, but she left him for the wild west and he made the typical blunder of keeping pennies from the future. Spoiler alert. So the future penny took him away from the young Jane Seymor and into the osteoperotic arms of her future self. Thereby leaving all of us upset and sad.

The Time Travelers Wife: Henry travels through time, he does not wish for it and cannot control it. Big events from his life pull him back in, like gravity. His wife, whose husband is never there, spends her whole life waiting. So what if henry doesn't want her to spend her whole life waiting?? What if he decided to go back one last time and make it so that they have never met?? And what if she will always love him, and what if they are just wild hearts that are never meant to be broken?? We'll have to watch and see. Don't be surprised if one of them dies.

This has now made my list of items I would take to a desert island. Time Travel Romance encompasses everything anybody would ever need.

A very gripping and lovely description. I think your last sentence was a haiku.

Only a true poet/englisher would catch the use of a haiku.

We should go to the movie together. Maybe we'll take our wives.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I can't wait to see how they did it! The book was full of details that I can't imagine they could put on film! Have you seen the movie yet Judson? What was your take of the final product?
