The Blind Side
 

Brought up this movie over in the entertainment forum, but wanted to mention it here as well. It's about two KD's, so it'd make for a great movie to watch with your chapter or alumnae chapter, or just in general!

Can't wait to see it myself.

Thanks for posting it in the Entertainment forum! It was mentioned in the Lifetime movie thread but it needed more exposure.

I really can't wait to see it!!!

The guy that does movie reviews for one of the Dallas TV stations gave Blind Side a real thumbs up. Can't wait to see it.

Saw it this evening! It's SO good.

And there's a great picture during the credits of a "KD loves #74" poster. SO fun!

Wasn't this story featured in the Angelos a couple of years ago? I remember it and I don't think I am delusional yet. It was when the daughter was still in school. It was a feature article with pics, etc. Anyone else remember it?

I hope the movie keeps her KD affiliation and doesn't eliminate it or change it to something like Kappa Delta Nu....

Yes, it was in the Angelos According the the copy I received today, it originally appeared in 2007 and you are able to read the back article on the KD website.

Thanks! I knew it was recent. I will have to see if I still have that copy. You know, it's fun to actually have some activity on the KD boards. Thanks everyone!

They don't talk about it. But as the newest Angelos points out -- the picture of KD makes it into the credits (with lots of other fun pics), so stick around and don't leave right away.

I couldn't agree more!

I saw the movie last night and really enjoyed it. Thanks to this thread I also stuck around through the credits until I saw the KD <3s #74 sign. :)

I am going to see it today at 4pm! I cannot wait!

Was Sean Tuohy a Greek at Ole Miss? He seems like an unsung hero of the story if you read various articles about the family.* Er, not that it matters if he was in a fraternity, but if so, they could bask in this the way KDs are.

*Still haven't read the book yet, I admit.

According to LaneSig, Sean Tuohy was a Kappa Sigma and star basketball player at Ole Miss.

I enjoyed it as well. Also noticed in the Angelos article that the executive producer is also from Memphis and has 2 KD sisters.

It was an awesome movie. I love the relationship that builds between Lea Anne and Michael. I think Sandra Bullock did a great job. Good stuff! Highly Recommend!

I finally got a chance to watch The Blind Side. Hubby and I both loved it. The theatre was packed, which surprised me considering how long it's been showing. I was sitting next to a KD - neither of us knew we were sisters until the credits. She clapped when she saw the KD <3's #74 sign, so I knew she must be KD. When I introduced myself as one of her much older sisters, her mom looked almost weepy. I think it meant a lot to Mom to see Sarah make instant "friends" with someone significantly older. Sarah is a recent initiate, and I hope this is the first of many sister-meetings yet to come.
