So, here is the deal. We didn't end up going bowling. But we did end up renting a movie and well we watched it. It was called Half Nelson. It was another one of my weird indie film picks. I know I should stop, but I can't. I just keep watching movies. It's like-my thing. But also, equally, not my thing. Anyways, it was a good movie, I think. It was hard to tell. All I know, is that it was way more funny than it was meant to be. Probably because Gabs, Sally, and I had some silly comment to make about pretty much every moment in the movie. It was also a lot more awkward I think than it was meant to be. It was about a teacher with a drug habit who become friends with one of his 13 year old students who also has a similarly linked background (and well, is neglected by her parents). Anyways, his life is spiraling out of control and they end up learning from each other, etc. I don't know. For some reason I kept on thinking their relationship was going to go, you know, that way. But it didn't. I mean, that would have been awkward.
You know what wasn't awkward? Ryan Gosling's attractiveness. And, for the record, I didn't pick out this movie because he was in the Notebook. Because you know what? The Notebook was not that great of a movie, okay? And if that makes me any less of a woman, I'm sorry. But seriously, I heard that the actors in this movie got nominated for some stuff, and I was like, damn that sounds like a good enough excuse as any. I guess I just like good movies with attractive people in them. There is nothing criminal about that. Sad and pathetic, maybe, but not criminal. He would totally make my "RACHEL GUTMAN'S UPDATED AND UNABRIDGED LIST OF TOTALLY HOT DUDES". Ryan Gosling, you get my stamp of approval. A+. Also, not bad acting, keep it up.
Listen, obvs I'm not going to be a film critic, seeing as how I'm neither articulate nor insightful. Now, knowing that, Kenneth Turan can probably sleep better at night. I'm nooo competition. Although, it would be totally jawesome being a film critic and having a little segment on NPR. I wonder if he still does that. I would love to work for NPR. It seems like a lot of fun. Or conversely, not a lot of fun. Hard to say.
I'm going to miss Sally. There is a Straylight Run show this week at UMD. I was thinking about going, but also thinking about not going, but also not thinking about not going or not going to think about not not going. You know? I'm just like super, thuper lazy. Things like that (i.e. making decisions) make me nervous. I spent about 40 minutes trying to decide what movie to get at blockbuster for tonight. Pretty horrible. Story of my life. My nails are scratchy.
