I watch movies to be entertained, and my taste of movies (which is admittedly kind of bad; I'd go for 'random') leans away from the sad ones, especially when I start craving chocolate (if you know what I mean... don't make me say it :D).
I kind of like explosions but I guess lately, I've been wanting to see comedies more than anything (I don't mind stupid humor - depends how stupid though. The Hangover was pretty hilarious to me).
Oh, I'm hyped about GI Joe; that's coming out in August 7th, but the previews make me worry. I want it to be really good and maybe I'm just too stuck in the old version of it (that's in my head, it's a mix of the really old cartoons/comics and the new cartoons that pretty much failed to last very long IMHO) that's making me wary of the newness of the film. I understand you can't make a movie that you expect to gross any money with costumes/dialogue/basic coloring as it was in the past; everything needs an upgrade, but still. I'm worried. Exoskeletons? Some of the casting choices... seems odd to me. But yay for General Hawk - sometimes he gets pushed to the sidelines in things for the sake of Duke being the leader and all, but I actually like Hawk.
That's not what I was going to talk about - talk about distracted.
I watched My Sister's Keeper yesterday with my sister and some friends. Fffff-. I hate sad movies. And that's the sort of movie you know people are going to cry in. That's the point. You don't watch that sort of movie hoping to be entertained; it's a full-blown I want to cry sort of movie. There were about like three guys in the whole theatre, the rest were girls.
It's slow (and could potentially be made shorter by a few minutes). Like I was sad at times and then just waiting for something to happen. Really, waiting. It got to me in the end though. But it was kind of funny because at silent moments of the film (and there were a lot of them), you could hear people sniffling and doing that whole shaky breath intake. It was really funny because you know people were trying to be silent about it.
Yeah. Don't like that movie. I hear the book's better anyway.
