I watched this with Casey. It was really dumb. I was totally creeped out by the protagonist’s relationship with his wife. She was wayyyy too young…

I watched this today with Christine and Whitney. It was ridiculoussssss :)

This film captures the spirit of student travel abroad. I liked it a lot. And it was cool that I could recognize the places both in Paris and Barcelona and understand some of the French and most of the Spanish. Yay!

I watched this with Kate and Tine in Kate’s basement.

XAVIER: I’m French, Spanish, English, Danish. I’m not one, but many. I’m like Europe, I’m all that. I’m a real mess.

I watched this today oh the oxygen channel with my dad.
It has Claire Danes in it, and it’s about two best friends that get stuck in Thailand after they are detained with drugs in their bag. It was ambiguous in the end as to whether the girl that confessed did it or not… and I really liked that. Because it doesn’t really matter.

DOUG: You’re a scammer and you’re a manipulator. You think that I don’t know you? You are dead wrong. The only thing that has ever come out of your mouth is lies. Six years old… the paint… the paint all over your hands. All over our couch? ‘I didn’t do it.’ 16 years old with the beer cans in my car. ‘I didn’t do it.’ Let me hear you say it again, Alice. Come on! Let me hear you say it in here, huh? Come on, one for old times’ sake!
ALICE: [screaming] I didn’t do it!

Little Girl: My Mommy says smoking kills.
Nick Naylor: Oh, is your Mommy a doctor?
Little Girl: No.
Nick Naylor: A scientific researcher of some kind?
Little Girl: No.
Nick Naylor: Well then she’s hardly a credible expert, is she?

I liked this : ) Nick Naylor was quite convincing. If you put me in a room with him for 30 minutes, and I could probably be talked out of everything that I’ve believed in, ever. I wish I could argue like that.

I watched this with Casey and Sarah.

Batty: I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

I like the idea of accelerated decrepitation. Reveling in your time. ‘The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long’ thing. I’m not sure that I would choose that, but it’s interesting to think about. Anyway, this movie clearly chose the second. Everything about it was dark. Even the screen was so dark that you couldn’t even see what was going on a lot of the time. And it was long.
I think I’d watch it again, though. Full of interesting ideas. I don’t even know what went on.

Harrison Ford was totally a robot.

I watched this with Christine and Whitney.

“V:as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

I was sleepy and exceptionally distracted when I watched this. I liked what I saw, though. There were definitely moments of greatness. Maybe I should watch it again.

I watched this with Casey.

Norma Desmond: And I promise you I’ll never desert you again because after ‘Salome’ we’ll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!... All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.

Regarding Norma Desmond, the phrase that comes to mind is ‘scary beyond all reason.’ But even though she’s totally crazy and she tries to commit suicide and so on, she’s very, very strong. It’s admirable… but not in a way that you’d want to imitate.

This really wasn’t a romance.

I watched this with Casey.

Singing Princess Anneliese, Singing Erika: Free I close my eyes and feel myself fly a thousand miles away/I could take flight but would it be right/My conscience tells me stay
Singing Princess Anneliese: I’ll remain forever royal.
Singing Erika: I will pay my parents’ debt.
Singing Princess Anneliese, Singing Erika: Courage is doin the thing your heart well regrets.
Singing Princess Anneliese: But I’ll never stop believing.
Singing Erika: She can never stop my schemes.
Singing Princess Anneliese, Singing Erika: There’s more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams/ In my dreams/ I’ll be free

Inspirational? The animation got better than that last Barbie movie I watched. ^_

Now I need to watch that Faerie Tales Theatre one with Shelly Duval that I loved so much when I was little.

I watched this with Christine and Amy.

Lalita: Only you could say that you love me
and insult me at the same time.

It’s a million years long, but the dance numbers are ridiculous and amazing. Best one: no life without wife. Most ridiculous one: main characters are falling in love on a beach, gospel choir appears behind them, surfers run out of the water, lifeguards run down from their chairs, and they all SURROUND them and tell them “This is the way to love!”

I watched this with Christine and Amy.
