Ahem!! (which i seem to use a fair bit... )

So i went to the movies tonight.

I saw Law Abiding Citizen.
My letter was answered and not only was it amazing, it AMAZING!!.
My gosh, go see it right now. If you can only see one movie in the near future, let it be this one.

ANYWAY!!

I started this post with one thing in mind.

People in movie theaters annoy the crap out of me.
I'm one of those people who will whisper, WHISPER to whomever I'm with, in their EAR, but barely loud enough for them to hear.

Yet today people went too far.

We had the people in front who got up A LOT.
We had those same people who were looking on their phone almost the whole movie, (til the husband said something, and then they stopped)
We had people who LAUGHED in a serious part of the movie. LAUGHED. It wasn't a comedy.
We had someone who said 'they should have killed her instead', about a person who DIDN'T die. Ahh, I'm sorry, how about you shut up jerkface.

I wanted to punch all of them. I didn't though.

They almost ruined my movie experience, and if not for the AMAZINGness of the movie and that which is Gerald, it would have been ruined.

Like i said, people in movie theaters, annoy the crap out of me.


PS. Just one thing re: the movie, there was one bit where i had to turn away cause it was like WHOA, so just warning you, if you take my advice and go see it, there is one WHOA bit. Apart from that it was all a different kind of WHOA moments.

Oh, and PPS. I totally bought all the True Blood books today as well. Awesomeness all round.

I forgot...


So in my last post, i had my movie reviewing hat on.
I know, hot right?
And i forgot to take it off and mention some other things that i realised whilst at the movies.

So in the previews, (which i love by the way, and i hate when I'm in certain movie complexes and they cut them out, ummmm, whats the point of going to the movies, if not for the previews?), and here are a few things that i gathered.

Although i thought that i disliked Micheal Jackson, i saw a preview for This is It.
And i think i want to see it. It really sold it to me.

They are remaking FAME! I wanted to cry when i saw the previews.
Does no one have an original thought anymore, that they have to remake, (and lets be honest, probably ruin), a awesome classic like that?
Now that Patrick Swayze is dead (so sad), they will probably remake Dirty Dancing... Although, according to Perez, they already started.

MY WORD, SAM WORTHINGTON IS FINE!!
Preview for Avatar, or something was on, and hello there, Mr Sam.
Although that movie preview creeps me out. What are those things...??


Thats all i can remember. The husband wouldn't let me twitter my notes, and my memory is shot.

Went to the movies today

There are parts of this post that talk about a movie, that you may or may not have seen. If you have not seen it, i probably totally ruin it for you, so sorry.

BUT!! Still go see the movie. It was ruined for me* too, and i enjoyed it still.


Usually when i go to the movies, it cause the husband drags me to see something that i probably wont like, and i just go so he can quit his complaining that we never do anything on the weekend. (watching downloaded TV shows is totally doing stuff, thank you very much!)

I went into it, not really knowing what the movie was about. I had even forgotten what the movie was, we (husband came too), were going to see until i looked at the tickets!!

But i have to say, i really enjoyed it. It was one of those 'love' stories. But not.

I had hoped there was a book of the movie, (cause even though i have now seen it, and know how it ends, i wanna read it), but alas, there is not. It totally seems like it was made from a book too. Like Juno. Movie writer, can you get on that one please?

Here are a few lines that i enjoyed.

Especially you Jenny Beckman.
Bitch.

Rachel Hansen: Just because she's likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate.

Summer: I named my cat after Springsteen.
Tom: Cool... what was his name?
Summer: Bruce.
(i just added this one, cause i thought it was funny, and PS. my dads name really is Bruce, but i don't think he was named after Springsteen).

*I have to mention, someone on facebook made there status update: just saw 500 days of Summer. 'insert last line of the film' (I'm totally not going to say it, that's just rude). And i was waiting for that line, THE WHOLE MOVIE. Thanks person, just thanks.

So, anyway.
I have to say, that this movie was pretty good. I would suggest seeing it. There were parts that people in the cinema were laughing loudly and longly (totally a word, spell checker) at, but i just didn't get that.



In other news, i applied for a new job. Away from my company. It was a ginormous step, and one that i haven't really told people about, (i tell them that i am looking, but there is a big difference between looking and applying) the husband doesn't even know yet. I just hate disappointments, and one (or three) applications (for the same company) doth not a new job make. So i would hate to be one of those people i despise and be all like, well, I'm getting a new job, so ha! and then not.
