Anniversary since seeing FA

It was a year ago today that I first saw Fucking Åmål! *:)* I still watch it every week or two. What an amazing film.

Congratulations on your anniversary PackDude.

After about 3 years it still has that "first time" effect on me every time I watch it. :D *:)* *:)*

Is 'Fucking Åmål' an actual film? :? Sorry :oops: I thought that was just a running joke :T I believed this site was about a webcam in Åmål :) Do you mean there really is a film about this webcam? :idea: I must get round to watching it sometime. :Y

Yeah, speaking of, did you guys ever do that vigil around the Åmål webcam? Wasn't it last New Year's Eve or something?

Everyone else probably had too much sense.
But as for me....... :oops: :T :lol:


We were talking about a vigil for some reason or other. Anyone remember why :?:

Oh yeah it was the Agnes Ahlberg birthday vigil. Sometime in April wasn't it? I just remember there was still tons of snow in Åmål at the time I last looked at the webcam. Looks like Snaps was the most vigil-ant on that day since everyone else forgot to post something. Does that make her a vigil-auntie? :? Reminds me of V for Vendetta and all those v-words they crammed into that monologue and it actually made sense.

Agnes' birthday.
Of course it was. *:)*

I'm sure I was glued to the Åmål webcam screen for my ten hour shift but that all the action happened when Ian or Snaps or Kso or Bruno or Kyle or Triddy or Magnus (or you?) were due to be watching for the rest of the time. :roll:

No wonder we missed it. :P :lol:

Yeah, fish, you are exonerated. I did see a post from you on Apr 27th! So you get a gold star, too.

In reviewing that thread (Great News from Amal), Snaps' reply to this topic really comes into perspective. You guys have been spending a great deal-o-time watching Åmålvision. Holy cow! I guess I've been away too long.

I think I'd give anything to regain my innocence and watch it again like for the first time... God, this must be amazing. Of course I didn't forget my first time (and neither my second, nor my third), but I find it close to impossible to recall the mood. I can remember that I was on the edge of my seat in the car scene and the coming out scene, and I do remember that I was filled with bliss when I left the cinema, feeling ready to embrace the whole world. Still, I only remember that it was so, I cannot remember the suspense or the bliss itself, if you know what I mean. It is such a distant memory. Lucky you if the film still does that for you. It doesn't do it for me, I am afraid to say, after so many years. I still admire it when I see it, but I don't get drawn into it anymore. The drugs don't work. *:|*

Maybe he just needs to leave it a few years. I can't understand how fishy and Kyle can watch it every other few weeks anyway. That level of overwatching would kill just about anything for me! :shock:
