Thanks to somebody, got to watch The Ugly Truth.
Okay, I started watching wanting to like it, knowing I won’t, or maybe I didn’t want to like it at all. Don’t get me wrong, romantic comedies like these are great as a mindless entertainment, unlike Into the Wild where you really have to plug in. Then again after watching Annie Hall, Waitress, 500 DOS which I did plug into, this’ll fall flat eh? Okay you can’t expect every romcom to rub you like those did though. Again they have the best friend, whom reminded me of Judy Greer, just less shocking perhaps? Did laugh out loud at wet crotch. Hated the dancing scene though. Blah.
Beginning of the movie was the best. All the montages as I scrutinized the credits. … Alec Baldwin… WOOT!! “Fuck you, that’s my name!”
Having read the book, so long ago that I don’t know if the movie stayed faithful to the book, it’s understandable how the scenes go and I’m glad somehow? That I disliked the mom both on paper and movie, so that’s something..
I started cringing and became restless because I remembered there were gonna be some stem cell bone marrow huge ass needle stuff. I got worried because I didn’t know if I can watch such a thing in moving pictures! Throughout the movie I’d go nooooo! And punch my pillow because they were putting her down and sticking that needle into her back and music’d play and AHH!!!! The movie aimed to be a tearjerker I suppose?? You’d be waiting for the scene where you cry then it’d hit you and you’d go oh, here comes another tear and in time you’ll get used to it? Haihs!
SQUARE BOKEH!!
I thought as they went on with the montages with the background music that makes things so beautiful, it’s a beautifully shot movie too, everything’s so sunshine-filled! Natural light ftw. Tiny bubbles.. was good hahaha. Which reminds me, most of the scenes have music accompanying it. There was this one song… Forgot about it though.
by Regina Spektor. Speaking of which..
Her song in 500 Days of Summer?
The beginning sounds like
One Republic’s Secrets, the song gargantuan and I love!
Cello fetish!
First time listening to it, the stop motion sequence from 500 Days of Summer will automatically play in my head. xD
Okay. Bio bio. Get your head in the game.
