Almost time for break
Only a few more days and I'll be free! yey! Its so hard to study on the weekends, so I'm procrastinating a little....I have a paper due on Tuesday, but I'm about 1/2 way done with it, so that won't be too bad. My last exam is at 7:30 AM on Wednesday, I get to see David and relax a little!
I had such a nice weekend, well ok just a nice saturday, but whatever. Had a great time with Cassi, and I found some very cute things at Express and New York and Co that I can't wait to wear once it warms up. It was so nice to spend all that time with Cassi...she rocks. :) We had veggie burgers, which were actually a lot better tasting then I thought. Yummy!
Woke up late today and watched TV until I had to meet my parents at noon. That was great :/ . The usual joyless, awkward dinner and a movie combo. Like usual, Dad was weird and uptight, and Mom was mopey and unable to please. I guess it doesnt really matter, but it did kinda ruin my evening. I was feeling very good before that.
Saw Million Dollar Baby, which won best picture. Hmm.. It was ok, but no best picture. I dont get it, I feel like all the movies that are supposed to be so good seem really shitty to me. I will say the acting in MDB was awesome, really tight. But the monochromatic lighting annoyed me to death, bored my eyes. And the dialog was cheesy. On the upshot, when Hillary Swank bites off her own touge, she totally looked like a zombie, and I was thinking....oh god, please let this turn into a zombie movie before I die of boredom. Zombiez Rulz!! #1. jk. Anyway, yes...does anyone else feel like there is this huge, dare I say, generation gap between what we value and what ppl our parents age value in film? Like Kill Bill, or Eternal Sunshine....where were they at the Oscars?!? Come on, those movies were spectacular, ground breaking, fascinating. The Aviator, Million Dollar Baby...? Like big-budget prime time dramas. These movies never sparked my imagination, my creativity...they were designed to lead the audience into feeling and thinking...where's the effort? Where's the art, the interpretation? Ugh...and don't even get me started on that piece of monkey crap called Seabiscuit...I guess I'll stop ranting, but if you know what I'm talking about, let me know, we'll talk about it. OR, I guess if you think Seabiscuit was not a steaming pile of monkey crap, let me know that too...In all honesty, as a self-taught film buff and lover of film art, I'd really like to know what makes it a great film, convince me.
