So I saw The Village last night. Despite my usual efforts to not get my hopes up at anything, I have to say my expectations were moderately aroused. But it wasn't that good. It was really predictable. In fact I have never in my life so accurately predicted the outcome to a story so early on in the movie. Don't get me wrong, it was a really good movie. But I just wasn't surprised. And besides, Michael Janusonis liked it and was surprised by the ending. I should have known it would be unworthy of my expectations.
Not to mention the fact that I was among the WORST movie crown I have ever encountered in all my years of movie going extravaganzas. Literally every single seat in the theatre was taken, taken by stupid middle schoolers on first co-ed outings and desperately trying to impress each other. Like the kid next to me, who was ON HIS CELL PHONE the whole freakin time...*grumbles...grits teeth...* There's nothing in the world that annoys me more, except for loud chewing, than people that can't be quiet during a movie. You'd think I'd have learned by now to never go on a friday night, especially to a highly-acclaimed movie's opening night. But no.
And there is a tiny spider crawling around on my speaker right now. I wonder if it's being jostled around by vibrations, or if it likes that and that's why it's doing it. I wonder what it would be like to be that small. I wonder how it is for the world to be that big. That crawling on a speaker may be the kind of devastation that to us is an earthquake. Maybe we really are that small and we just don't know it. Like the spider probably doesn't know that it's small, because it's world is this computer room and the rest of my house is to him the same as the human race's quest to find life on other planets. But maybe that's how we are too. We could be but a marble in the universe that some other huge being is playing a game with. Like at the end of Men In Black. That ending blew my mind. In a good way.
UNlike the Village's ending.
The inside of my mouth is bleeding profusely right now. I don't have any gum so I have as usual started unconsciously biting the inside of my cheeks. I think I went to far this time though. God that tastes bad. I think I will go tend to that situation.
