Never order anything over the internet right before the weekend. I think I'm spoiled, though. Didn't it used to take 6-8 weeks for things to arrive when you ordered them by catalogue? I chose Super Saver Shipping (who wouldn't - it's free!), but it can be slower than standard shipping. I ordered Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer from Amazon.com on Wednesday. I got the shipping email late on Friday. I checked the tracking this morning, and it's still in Lexington! It's been sitting there since Friday night! I want my movie!

I remember going to see this in the theater. I especially remember the scene where Rainbow Brite and Starlight ride the rainbow in outer space and save the world, because I got goosebumps. It was one of the most beautiful pictures I'd ever seen. It's funny what affects you like that when you're seven. I felt the same way when I saw the opening scene of Beauty and the Beast. The music, the way the 'camera' 'moved' through the forest...I was enraptured. Even after I've seen that movie fifty times, I still get a little thrill from that opening scene. And I still tear up when the Beast dies, but don't tell anyone.

I am impatient to watch this movie again. There are a lot of movies that we watched over and over again that I'd like to get my hands on. Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure, The Hugga Bunch, The Secret of the Sword...I don't know why these marketing departments have not capitalized on this. I love that I'm able to get my hands on my favorite 80's shows, but faster! Faster!

I have no patience.
