I'm watching Pleasantville right now on TBS and I'd forgotten how much I loved this movie. The naivete of the Pleasantville people, those moments of discovery, the pink petals floating lazily down as Etta James sings 'At Last'.. the theme of people doing something they'd never do or had ever done before...
If you've never seen the movie, Pleasantville is a fictional black-and-white town on television to which two modern day teens are transported. As the teens try to conform to the Pleasantville way of life, they can't help but disturb the natural order of things. Gradually, as the Pleasantville citizens explore things they've never even thought about, they and their surroundings become colorized. One example is the colorization of certain high school students after they've had sex. It's not necessarily the 'naughty' things that cause it though; for example, the jaded modern girl becomes color after she reads a book and finds she enjoys it for the first time.
What have you never done, that would cause a colorization in Pleasantville? Stay anonymous, if you wish.

Haha.. umm.. I meant it more like... what have you never done that you feel if you did, would change your life?
I'm pretty sure killing someone would change your life. All the running and hiding. Or anal-rapage. Haven't you ever seen The Fugitive and Shawshank Redemption???
I suppose I haven't done that either. But it sounds like an all-around bad time, so I hope it stays that way.
probably something really romantic and wonderful, to the point that it almost seems fictitious and movie-esque, since that is pretty much what happens in the movies. and this way you can pretty much be garaunteed that it will turn out for the best, because rarely do these sorts of things turn out for the worse in the movies.
