:D sarcasm smiles
I saw The Vow yesterday with Vorn. It was cool. FAR FAR FAR BETTER X A MILLION, than Man on a Ledge. O Man on a Ledge. I saw it aaaaaages ago now but didn't write about it because I did not like it.
For all their interview chemistry Belley and Genesis Rodriguez had none between them in the actual film. I didn't even particularly buy them as a couple. Like the bits when Genesis was clutching at his arm and like clinging to him I did, but the moment they started talking to one another there was no naturalness to either of their line deliveries or something. So much LOL NO for me.
I so much did not like Belley's lighthearted 'comedic' acting either. Now whether that's because he's not good at it, or because I am so used to serious acting Belle that I just rejected it I couldn't tell?
So many reviews I've read were like OMG BELL AND RODRIGUEZ R THE COMEDIC RELIEF IN THE FILM. I'm a bit like LOL THEY WERE FUNNY?? Rilly?? Is this that alleged American UK comedy divide rearing it's head? Or am I just cracked in the head, cos in my opinion maybe they were once or twice, but not as many times as they tried ffs.
Anyway I was talking about The Vow wasn't I.
Well regarding the Vow I will say firstly fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Tatum has got one damn fine ass.
Like you know, obviously right, but you know damn!!
DAMN!!
It's fine.
He's so like well built. The embodiment of the phrase rude health. Vorn and I were like crying in frustration at his pretty in that film. Like seeriously how is a man like that birthed in a human manner? How does he wander around looking as he does??
It's a mystery to me.
I didn't find the film moving though. In fact I was so far from even vaguely crying at it --- and I cry at everything?? I think it's because feeling sorry for priviledged good looking people isn't something that comes naturally to me.
Everytime Taters character was knocked back I felt a bit like, YEAH SEE THAT'S JUST HOW REGULAR PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES.
TAKE THAT SQUARE JAW!!
Y YES I AM A SHALLOW BITCH BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S A SHALLOW WORLD.
O and I went to the IMAX in London with my brother to see the Phantom Menace on Thursday and it was such fun. I really enjoyed that film in a way that I didn't the first time I saw it. I felt some good old fashioned enjoyment and human emotion seeping out of me whilst watching it --- Like I let myself go whilst watching it in a way most uncommon to me. I inhaled sharply when shocking things happened and cheered for wee Ani to win the podrace and all the sorts of things I am normally too repressed to do.
I thought to myself that maybe I was breaking out of my android icicle shell of repression and holding back.
Turns out it was a false alarm though because then like I said I went to see the Vow and during all the lovey dovey crap at the beginning I was really gagging and uncomfortable at all the spontaneous feelings and romance.
Fuck schmaltzy ideas of love full in the face.
It's so far from my bitter, horrible idea of love. I was glad of the realism of the rest of it (in that the ending isn't entirely happy), because I hated the stupid happinness of the beginning soooooooo much.
I don't trust happy, it all rings false to me.
Oh and I have a way of staving off from the need to die or kill, thinking about how much Jamie Belle needs to be fucked.
This is not a recent thing.
Also can't stop listening to that The Internet album...gods...
