"A place you go into to be healed and to be free, somewhere where there's no one quite so beautiful"

Last day with my aunt, tomorrow she goes back home. These visits are always so short. We had a wonderful time anyway. Today I had therapy, and in the afternoon we went to the Excelsior (because we're proper pilots and don't go to Bristol) to see The Dark Knight Rises. My aunt hadn't seen the other two movies, but The Dark Knight is one of my favourite movies in all history, probably the one movie I've seen the most, so I had been doing my happy Sequel-Sequel dance since 2008, so the excitement had gotten into her too. And oh god we *loved* it. After the credits my aunt asked me if we could just stay in our seats and see it all over again. I made her notice we would have come out of the theater at 1 am, with no bus back home, and she reluctantly left. The whole movie we squeed and gasped and cried out at the same scenes, it was amazing. So glad she loved it! *_______*

Then we came back home by 10 pm and ate dinner. She turned the tv on, they were doing a dumb tv series that we made fun of a bit, then she turned the channel, and there were fighter planes. It took me a couple of seconds and "Aunt, I think that's Top Gun" "Is it?" "Well, last time I saw it it was the 80s, and they're wearing helmets and everything, but I'm pretty sure that guy is about to... and there he dies. That's the only thing I remember of this movie, that guy dying. Must have made an impression on tiny me." "He does look pretty dead", and we spent the rest of the dinner with Tom Cruise and Meg Ryan being horribly traumatized for life on screen while debating Bane's philosophy. Fascinating. :D
