If I were to sell my soul, which one of us would be the fool?
Match Point is worth seeing for one or two reasons. 1) Scarlet Johansson is gorgeous. 2) If you're an absolute idiot, it serves as a warning for what not to do with your life. Before I saw it I figured the plot was going to be something along the lines of "Why choosing comfort over beauty/love is a horrible idea." Well I was almost dead on, only Woody Allen decided to take it to the extreme just to make sure the average retard got his point. Which is good I suppose cause I think most people lead lives pretty similar to that movie, only without all the extravagance. I didn't so much dislike the movie, as I was disheartened that I paid to be reminded of why people suck so much. I guess I generally read, watch movies, listen to music, etc. to get away from the world. Also it would have been nice if Mr. Allen could have managed to wrangle some lesson out of the movie that I hadn't guessed before I went into see it. I'd suggest seeing it though, simply because they're isn't much else out, and few movies have actresses as pretty as Scarlet Johansson.
I think the thought that followed me out of the movie though is the one recurring question of my life. It goes like this: Beautiful women are awesome, but rare. Being rare means I'm likely to run into one in my whole life that I actually have a chance of getting along with. Not that that is a problem, cause I pretty much believe there is only one (for me). So fine then one day down the road life will be alot more pleasant because I'll have the one thing that I've pretty much desired since I was in about 4th grade. That might be a stretch, but I remember finding girls attractive at that age. Life can get damn lonely at times, and as much as I believe in finding this one person I still worry about just how I'm gunna recognize her cause I'm damn sure I have no idea who she is. I have an idea, but then girls come along that are attractive to a certain point. They don't pass the test for love of my life, but they'll do until I end up getting bored. Right so I did that once, ok twice, and it led me to thinking about what I'm looking for in a girl/woman. Now that I can recognize that most girls are attractive just not in the way I want, I've found myself unable to really start another relationship. Not for lack of trying either, I just don't have the ability anymore to wade through these bullshit games we play to make ourselves attractive to people we really don't have a goddamn thing in common with. I just hope the wait is worth the reward. Not that I have much of a choice, forcing myself into a relationship really doesn't make me happy either (Yeah I just said that). So here's to loneliness and a brighter future.
