"You bought their love"
I don't get couples who watch movies together. I mean I get it, but I don't really get it. I think it's just the easiest segway between "You look nice tonight" and "Let's get on a couch get our limbs and legs entangled with one another in the dark" It's the effortless reason to turn the lights off and have no obligation to talk. You don't want the entree, the movie, you just want the dessert. And for the movie's duration, you don't have to look at your other, but you can certainly touch them. That's what the movie's for. Paul Thomas Anderson who? Die Hard which? No honey, let my hands talk to your's for 120 minutes because this is the peak of our communication abilities. And this, friends, is physicality at its meekest. Cheap and pitiable.
I was watching a thing last night and the mom was mad at the father for giving the children sweets against her wishes. They weren't young but they were flirtacious and peppy, a real banterful couple. The mom said "You bought their love" and the father replied "Well, it was for sale and I wanted it" I wonder how many writers spend their entire lives trying to write an exchange like that.
I watched Dan in Real Life last night. It was pretty bleak for a mainstream thing. His kids hate him, he's a whiny loser, his family's fun and great but he's not. My favorite scene is that, after some amount of time in the movie with unrequited love for this woman, Dan and Marie sneak off and go bowling together. The old lady working the desk sees the lovely couple and switches off the house lights and switches on the party lights. So it's kinda cheap but beautiful in a way. You can see their silhouettes as light dances on the walls above the lanes. After kidding around for a while they hug each other and then, so very naturally, start kissing. Then it turns into a big one and it's a beautiful frame. Juliette Binoche is beautiful and Carell, well, he can be beautiful too. So it's a great little mini-fantasy moment. Then Dan's family comes in and starts yelling at them. That was my favorite scene in the movie.
