What About The Accent?
I hate that I love British movies. I used to find their open references to sex hideous, but as I have matured, I have come to find them somewhat endearing. I noticed it a few months ago when I watched The Full Monty. That movie just cracks me up! My favorite part is when they are standing in line at the unemployment office and start rehearsing their moves to the beat of an old 80's song. I think I replayed that part about three times over. (Hey, I am easily amused.) Then, I watched Love Actually last night. I had seen it before, but this time was different. I was really able to get into the characters and felt like I was almost in the room with the situations. The movie (if you haven't seen it) jumps from couple to couple that are each having their set of relationship difficulties. Since it is set in the Christmas season, it was the perfect fit! Of course, I could contribute all this endearment to their accent, but I would like to assume I am not that shallow.
I think some movies just have to grow on me. Kinda like music. I remember the first time I saw You've Got Mail. I hated it. It is now one of my favorite chick flicks. I can quote that movie inside and out. I also tend to pick out different styles within a movie. Editing, lighting and music is always a biggie. The best angles I have ever seen were in Citizen Kane. Best music would have to be LOTR, and best editing was Mystic River. It makes me feel good that more goes into myself liking a movie than being suckered by a handsome face or intriguing story line.
Speaking of LOTR, the new extended version came out on Tuesday. I heard they had over 45 minutes of added scenes and am dying to watch it. I am planning on having a marathon for all three extended versions within the next month or so. Looking forward to that! I love when you can get entranced in a movie and really start feeling nervous like it is your life and problem when really it has nothing to do with you! Which reminds me of the time I had a counselor ask me if I escaped my life in television. Granted, I had no idea what she was talking about because I was 12, but she definitely gave me the idea to which I tend to use to this day when I feel my life is the core pit of the cherry.
Well, I am out of the office and off to the shopping races!
