Movies, GD, and how much I hate winter right now.
I've been watching a lot of movies lately (my recent attention span has not been good enough for dramas ;D )
Last night I watched An Education which was quite good. The acting was great (I actually thought Peter Sarsgaard wasn't up to par, but that just might have been because his character creeped me out), especially Carey Mulligan, of course. I also quite liked Rosamund Pike playing the vapid Helen. I quite like her, I find her face really interesting and pretty.
Tonight I watched Please Teach Me English, which is a kmovie. Unlike the majority of kmovies I've seen, PTME was not abrupt or confusing in the least. In fact, it was adorable, sweet, and super funny. I found the portrayal of foreigners alternatively amusing and quite good (the main foreign character was made to look just a bit too sexualized, however in general I thought they did a good job). And they actually found western actors who could speak English well, imagine that! (Seriously though, I never understood why they always picked western actors who obviously didn't know how to speak English that well. Surely native English speakers can't be that hard to find! *looking at YOU, Japan*) Regardless, it was an adorable movie.
What to watch tomorrow, that is the question.
When I woke up this morning I had an awesome surprise for me. GD's remix of "Heartbreaker" with Flo Rida was released early. I REALLY like the song. It's a bit random, but whatever. I like it. I like that there's new lyrics, and I quite enjoyed Flo Rida's part. Yes, I like Flo Rida. I love "Right Round". I think it's a great collab.
It's going to rain all week, which is shitty. It's still winter-like here as well. No green yet, everything's still dead. Spring comes later to us. It's unpleasant. Times like these I really miss the constant green of living in a subtropical climate. I do not miss the humidity though. Not. At. All.
