Some Crap Movies and Melting Brains
Monday, July 27, 2009 @ 2:24 AM
Well it's 2 in the morning, and I thought, what better way to spend this time than by writing?—provided that I am too lazy and demotivated to study. And since that is the case, I will try as much as I can to avoid talking about academics. My brain's all gross and mushy.
Movies! They make me happy, so Imma talk about the ones I want to watch so bad. O:
My Sister's Keeper : basically because I read the book.
Public Enemies : Michael Mann and Johnny Depp—really, how can I refuse this?
The Proposal : for the extreme cuteness.
500 Days of Summer : Zooey Deschanel! Plus it's getting amazing reviews.
Jennifer's Body : NOT because I like Megan Fox, but seriously, it's produced by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody—it should be good ... right? ._."
The Ugly Truth : I love the Heigl movies! XD And I need soppy romantic comedies right now.
No Reservations : OMG SEE? =)) Too many romantic comedies. XD Plus Aaron Eckhart (though I was never too keen on him) looks pretty cute with Zeta-Jones here ... SHUT UP. D:
The September Issue : looks like a boatload-o-fun documentary.
Harry Potter 6 : AGAIN!
Up : must I even say why?
Cheri : for another taste of the Old English ways, with Michelle Pfeiffer too! And okay fine after seeing the trailer, Rupert Friend is impossible to resist.
Easy Virtue : FINE IT'S BECAUSE OF BEN BARNES.
The Time Traveler's Wife : I read the book, and the casting is pitch perfect.
The Lovely Bones : read the book too, and it's not until 2010, but Saorsie Ronan? Stanley Tucci? Mark Wahlberg? Rachel Weisz? Susan Sarandon? Produced/directed by Peter Jackson who also made King Kong? Oh come on it's bound to be amazing.
Okay now that I've actually listed down everything, I realize most of my movie choices are shallow. =)) But who cares anyway—I wouldn't just want to see a movie because of the cuteness and /hot/ actors; of course I want the plot and story too. XD Plus my brain is melting and mushy, I don't need any more stress! XD Crap movies are the answer. ;D

Passions
Beyond hobbies
Film. Whoever said that cinema was just for entertainment? It's art. I aspire to become a film director some day, and hopefully I can live the rest of my life with that as my permanent career.
Literature. I mostly read drama novels, like those from authors Jodi Picoult and Alice Sebold, but I also like some fantasy ones (i.e., Harry Potter).
Music. From Beethoven to Lady Gaga to Rage Against the Machine, music is my religion. I play the piano as well, and I'm pretty OC about sound quality. I need good earphones and a kickass sound system.
Travel. With this, I wish I could get more of it, but I savor every moment. I've been to the United States, Singapore, Japan, Thailand, and Hong Kong. I hope to tour South Africa, Egypt, and several countries in Europe.
Gender equity. Women's equality and gay rights are just long overdue, and the world has got a long way to go.
