[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember loving this movie soooo much, and at the time had an on again off again bff type and thought I could relate. At the time I also thought 28 was so old. The scene on the boat seemed so deep to me... "Before the moment passes you by..." Sigh.

But yeah, no I realize they're all cringy. He's way too old for Kimmy. Kimmy is young and insecure. Julia Roberts is too desperate. He leads her on.

Still has a great soundtrack though![/quote]
Love the soundtrack. The whole reason I decided to rewatch it was because the man who composed most of those songs recently died and I hadn’t realized that he wrote basically every love song in that movie [/quote]

You don’t remember “the man”’s name is Burt Bacharach?[/quote]

I do…. but most lay people don’t know that name if I said it, so, I said “the man who composed most of the songs in that movie”. [/quote]

On DCUM we know who Burt Bacharach is, and not just "the man who composed most of those songs" in this silly rom-com. Oy.

I'm also not sure most lay people don't know who he is. Wikipedia describes him as "widely regarded as one of the most important and influential figures of 20th-century popular music."[/quote]

Ok I stand corrected. He is as much of a household name as Michael Jackson and needs no descriptor after his name because everyone knows who he is. Moving on![/quote]

For those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s, yes he was most certainly a household name way before Michael Jackson was!  He wrote the pop soundrack of our lives.[/quote]

Sorry, I didn’t realize so many 65 year olds frequented this site. [/quote]

That’s not an insult, you know.[/quote]

And it wasn’t phrased as one. She said if you grew up in the 60s, Burt Bacharach was a household name. Most people my age (30s) had never heard that name even if we had heard the songs. I didn’t realize so many DCUM posters were elderly. That’s it. [/quote]

I grew up in the 70s and am early 50s. Now I'm elderly? Just stop. [/quote]

and in your childhood, when you heard Aretha or Dionne Warwick sing “I say a little prayer”, you turned to your friends and said “I LOVE Burt Bacharach songs!” You stop. You gave yourself away when you said white people shouldn’t sing songs by black artists, when in fact a white man wrote the song, and now you’re trying to act like everyone knows this man’s name and knows he wrote those songs, so…. Then why does it matter that a white ensemble sang the song in a movie? Since it’s clearly not a black womans song?  Make up your mind. [/quote]
