A night at the movies

[constance]

I was going to write a big bullet-pointed post, about many far-flung topics, but instead I am going to go to bed because I am tired and (for reasons which I will explain later) also sore and headachy. Instead of rattling on, I am just going to say, quickly, HI I MISS YOU, and then go on to write a brief open letter.

Dear Michael Bay,

You had a chance to make The Island a smart and edgy film, and there were several places within its framework that you could have veered off into another direction and seamlessly directed it away from the shallow fugitive film it turned into.

You could have, but you didn't, and I am so glad. It was much more fun this way. And the stars were so unbelieveably gorgeous that the less in the way of plot or sense or cleverness to distract, really, the better.

Good call.

Love,

me.

PS The scene with the nail gun holy shit dude.

Aha, thank you for posting this! The reviews have been fairly bad but I was wondering if it was worth sneaking off to see it anyway. Tomorrow's my first day off in ages and an afternoon of leering at Ewan will cheer me up no end.

I am tired and (for reasons which I will explain later) also sore and headachy. You're not ill are you? :-/

I miss you too. Really though, it's only been about 12 hours since I've seen you. You've got to let go.

My sister and I both screamed when the nail gun thing happened. The people in front of us and all around us were substantially less impressed, but the NAIL GUN with the THING and the dude was so NONCHALANT ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS.
