I went to the theater Saturday to see the movie 'Penelope' with three of my friends and just fell in love with it. It was refreshing to watch an innocent movie with a fairytale feel to it for once, and my undying love for James McAvoy is not making me biased. Though, he was as gorgeous as ever in it. Seriously, I want someone like him for myself. And he can jump me like he basically did in this one scene and push me on a swing :]
+captures (from trailer...guh i need actual movie caps!) with quotes
+might have some spoilers
cursed to be born with the nose of a pig
"what are you waiting for?"
she was ready to give up, then he walked in...and he came back several times because she is awesome...even behind a two-way mirror
she's out there on her own, declaring her independence
he loves her =] fo sho
he gets pissed when someone exploits her...but it turns out she did it herself
"Y'know you inspired me, doing what you did, going off on your own like that. "
two point five seconds before the above mentioned jumping scene. i was like DAMN, boy can kiss!
I'll set the scene for you.
ok, she is in his apartment 'using the bathroom' during a halloween party were he lives. Everybody is in love with 'the pig faced girl named penelope' so almost every girl is wearing a pig mask and this awesome coat that you see in the movie. Penelope is dressed up like the 'old' penelope just like them.
M: All Halloween I've been running into someone I used to know.
P: This someone - she meant a lot to you?
M: Yes - Yes she did.
P: What happened?
M: I couldn't give her what she wanted.
P:What did she want?
M: To be free.
then she sees his piano, starts rambling about something that they had talked about before and he realizes it is really her. hardcore making-out ensues.
"And we lived happily ever after - well happily ever after so far at least."
+sorry for the spastic changes in coloring, but i'm currently thinking of making some J. McAvoy graphics in the near future so i was trying things out.
