Infection is still here. No cure in sight.
Låt den rätte komma in in both its printed and celluloid form is a slow acting poison. You will be poisoned white. White from arsenic and innocence.

You joined 24 months before I did. Your post here is the same month I first saw LTROI. Sooo...I've been infected for 8 months. Is that possible? I'm still as enthusiastic as I was after the first viewing, and LTROI seems just as fresh and compelling as it was then. The infection has just become deeper. It is odd--I do not normally perceive time as passing quickly. When I look back on a year, it seems longer than a year. I never think, where has the time gone? I feel as though each day/week/month/year is full.

And yet, with LTROI, it seems as though no time has passed since the first viewing.

Since then—'tis centuries— and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity—

Yeah, it feels kind of spooky like that. Well, if I've blundered into a kind of space-time anomaly, I couldn't find a better bunch of guys and gals to share it with.

Don't see my love for it going away anytime soon. I can't say if it will stay my 'favorite film' forever but it'll definitely have a place in my heart. Plus I think Lindqvist's continued writings will renew my interest as time goes on.

Guess I'll be infected forever. The movie really marked me.

Well, I became infected the middle of March, 2013. It's not the 14 months that gets my attention; it's how much I think about LTROI every day and how strongly I feel about Oskar, Eli, and all of the other players. And the sound track. And visually. Yesterday I watched a lot of it with the sound off. Some time back, I listened to a lot of it with the screen minimized. Whoa, I heard a lot of new stuff that way. What I'm saying is, I don't think I can exhaust everything there is to see, hear, and feel about the film.
