What Would You Do For Love?
I never, ever say this, but...stop writing fic so fast, guys! I can't keep up!
Ugh, this week looks like it's gonna suck too. Haha, aren't you all just cheered up when you stroll by my journal? Doesn't my work know that Porn Battle is going on?
When I've had a long day at work, I go to the movies. It just winds me down and it's a perfect way for me to just let my mind float away for a couple of hours. Went to see Blue Valentine tonight. There were a lot of things that reminded me of Country Strong, which I'll get to in a second, but first? More with the annoyances.
One of the best things about going to the movies on a school night is that there's hardly anyone else in the theatre. Seriously, there were four other people in the theatre, and guess where they sat? The row behind me and the row in front of me. (And I sit in the exact front row.) Now the girl behind me....got up like six times, kicking my chair all along the way. (You don't just get up in the middle of a Ryan Gosling sex scene. You just don't.) The couple in front of me? Talking, talking, talking....I come to realize, ten minutes in...She's *translating* the entire movie for him. And not in a whisper, either.
Oh! And they showed the trailer to Gods of the Arena too...You guys have no idea how awesome it looks on the big screen.
Now, they kind of tell the same story with different outcomes. BV shows the most depressing outcome, definitely doesn't pull any reality punches. And CS tries to soften the blow some by giving Beau and Chiles a happy ending. (<3)
But with James and Kelly...and Cindy and Dean...it's this really awful message that...love can't last? You can't have it all? I don't know, am I reading it wrong?
And with the actors specifically...well, it was one of those things where you feel uncomfortable, it's just too real. Michelle Williams is amazing, and so fearless...and all I could think watching her was Heath, Heath, Heath....Did I read somewhere that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are separated? So there's that. I really *hope* Tim McGraw doesn't believe that love and fame can't exist in the same place.
Now BV is getting all the press, and the award nominations, and rightly so, Michelle and Ryan are both magnificent and gutting in it...but...I was sort of missing the in-between? We saw a surly drunk and a completely emotionless *wife*, and we saw two heartbreakingly gorgeous kids and we didn't see at all what got them from there to there. Like...is that the message? A guarantee that you put a ring on the finger and a few sleepless nights of up with the baby and you fall out of love?
I'm really hoping that's not true.
So...I'm finding myself missing my old Monday night line-up, a little. Is anyone still watching One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl? Catch me up on the bullet points/link me to good youtubage? Love you all!
