I got a Netflix account this year (I'd always planned on it once I started college) and I have put it to GOOD use so far! And (as of yet) it hasn't disrupted my studies, either! (Hurray for that!) I've watched/rented most of the movies that I've never seen (the Mission Impossibles, Bourne Trilogy, etc) but have also seen a lot of ones that were 'suggested' for me- like this one.
At first, I was like, meh, but I added it to my instant play list, because- Peter O'Toole. Just....Peter O'Toole.
They eyes, man, the eyes! So. Blue.

But at any rate, the movie was wonderful. My kind of movie- sweet, heartwarming, eccentric, full of science, philosophy, good writing, good acting, and the much-older-man-young-girl relationship. (Sorry, but that's my thing). I didn't think they'd let it happen- I'm so glad they did. And they didn't make it awkward, it just happened- naturally, organically. None of the stigma or awkwardness. Certainly not the canon. But then again, none of this movie was! Actually, the only thing I didn't like were the awkward eyebrows. (I mean...c'mon now I know it was the 80's, but still).
If you have the chance, definitely check it out. It's on Netflix instant streaming, I'm sure it's elsewhere too.
Y'know, I'd like to think I've seen The Big Picture too. :)
