SUCKAGE

Cloudburst, because my mom wanted to see it. Half way through I turned to my mom and said "omg this is fucking awful."
Mom: yes. It is kind of, isn't it.
Me: you mind if we don't bother finishing it?
Mom: no, it's a waste of time. Let's play some cards then.

There you go. I thought it was awful and even my mom couldn't be arsed to finish watching it either.

So far the only dyke love story I've watched that wasn't hideous was Fire (Indio-canadian), Amie & Jaguar (Germany) and Bound (though bound wasn't hideous, it wasn't exactly fabulous either. I know lots of people love it because it has a butch and a femme in it, but I actually care about dialogue, plot, editing, character development... You know stuff that makes a good film, not just a kind of entertaining one that doesn't ask anything of you. Yes, I can be a snob).

However, the one I watched just before was "the way I live now"
British film about an American girls that chooses to stay in England as WWIII breaks out. It's not loud music, plot shoved in your face crap, it's actually jarring.

Well, it was for me, being a gen X. There is a scene where a nuclear bomb is dropped before war is declared. You don't see the bomb. But the distant effects that are eerie, subtle and very, very frightening, I used to have nightmares about as a teen and in my 20s. They captured my Cold War Bomb nightmares incredibly well. It actually gave me goose bumps.

The ending was a tiny bit of a let down as it seemed to get wrapped up very quickly and suddenly. Bit of a disappointment, the end, but the movie was very well done.
Two fucked up teen agers, both very believable characters, especially the anxious, anorexic, angry, american girl.

I do love a film that has a strong, believable, female hero.

Hey crooked cupcake

You might like Tru Love. Nexflix if you have it. It's not tacky or horrible. Little humor and a little drama. I only hit pause once to roll my eyes. That really says something!

Last night I watched The Counselor....

I almost wish I could clean my eyes and unsee some of the stuff I saw.....

I love Cameron Diaz...but I wanted to see her blown up by the end of the movie....

I really think I was waiting for a big ending where the Counselor uses his sharp legal skills to exact revenge and bring about a happy ending. Then I realized, this movie isn't that old. That just doesn't happen these days....

I wanted something I didn't have to think about while I watched it.

I wound up with this:

It was not as horrible as I imagined and I actually laughed a couple of times.

Finally, finally, finally watched The Hours. Must reread some Woolf now and watch it again to get all the references I missed the first time.

We watched this old Humphrey Bogart movie last night. Moved a bit slow, but all in all it was a pretty good psychological thriller!
