How Movies Help Us and Move Us
apparent that sharing this was absolutely necessary—for mankind.
for me, the side effects of a new medication were a dry mouth and a dry *ahem* rear end—also known as constipation, which I never have, so you can forgive me if it was an experience of unique intensity.
It was a long night.
Many trips were made, many fists clenched, and many earnest efforts ended in despair. Maybe you’ve been there. In fact, as a rookie to this sort of clogged plumbing and to the anguish of the sphincter, I reached out emotionally to all of humanity, wondering how to help myself and to help the more regularly irregular.
My experience of unique intensity produced a window of intense clarity. It was not until the middle of the night when I was able to get that train out of the station—that steely locomotive—to chants of, "I think I can. I think I can…" and in the tiny glow of the vanity lamp, gripping and grunting, I saw light!
Movies can help.
It’s so simple, as all beautiful things are. Just use movie titles to help you get through the excruciating expulsion and to focus and visualize.
For me on that night, the movie that spoke to me was: There Will Be Blood. I even visualized the *ahem* "movie" starring Daniel Day Lewis as that reluctant protagonist. He’s such a serious actor that I can almost hear him whisper, "Look at me, I acting." Only he could be that monstrous, indeed, that grating.
Now if something like that doesn’t help, don’t give up. Some movies help in another way, by guiding you to visualize a more smoothly functioning colon. Like, A River Runs Through It.
Finally, for those of you who use a laxative, do not over do it. The results could be a movie you may not want to sit through:
I do not know what to make of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Sometimes I won’t even go there.
Please, help me help mankind. If you know of movie titles that encapsulate difficult toilet toils, I implore you to post a comment and share with us all.

You need to drink more water and exercise. Maybe a laxative is in order. I was amused by the blog on movement. Peace...who is Matt Dolan why the love
