What movies make you feel:
1) Angry. Batman Begins. OH THIS MOVIE. Ugh, I hated it... I watched it twice and was so bored. See, the first time I saw it was at a sleepover so I thought I only hated it cause I was dead tired but it was no better the second time. That movie was disrespectful to the great name of Batman. WHO HIRED BALE FOR THAT PART? And the plot made nooo sense really.
2) Frightened. I have never been scared by a movie in my life. I've been scared by three things. Gender Bender, an X-Files episode, The Empty Child, a Doctor Who episode, and this random Star Trek episode with worms when I was like seven...
3) Sad. The Prestige. As much as I love this movie, it always hurts a bit to watch. I don't even really like any of the characters! And the movie is totally worth watching for the sci-fi, steampunk, uberbeauty but I am not fond of watching helpless, crazy people ruin each others lives.
4) Happy. The Fifth Element. This movie had no plot or rhyme or reason. It was beautiful, colorful people running about being excited about things. It was like Farscape but a movie!! Science fiction at its epicest.
5) Lonely. The Village. Even though it's really about the power of love, etc, etc, it's still very lonely. Even though Ivy and Lucius are both alive and well... it's still lonely. I think it's mainly the setting, music, atmosphere, and art direction. It's really a gorgeous film.
6) Hopeful. Scott Pilgrim vs the World. This movie is going to stay with me for a long time. I feel like it will probably be my inspiration all this year. Because even if college is hard or I hate my job or I grow up and the world would think of me as a sad little loser... there is HOPE! You can be awesome for yourself, just be self confident! I mean, just look at Todd!
Lovely day with the Dooley family today! Lots of meat and fresh air. Ladeda.
I really am loving being 17. It's a rather orderly age. I feel much more together than 16. But when I turn 18 the whole cycle will begin again cause I'll be a baby adult instead of a grown-up teenager. So basically I like being 17 a lot. Here are some random awesome 17-year-olds.
Rachel Seybolt. Actually, Rachel is not like the average 17-year-old. Her family is dead, she was raised by a crazy pastor and then moved in with her father's best friend, Charlie, who'd been put in jail for her father's murder. Complicated.
Cassandra Mortmain. She is, in a way, the quintessential 17-year-old. I Capture the Castle is her diary and it's amazing how 17 is 17, whether in 1920 or 2010.
Kitty Bennet. Life is hard for Kitty. Her younger sister keeps showing her up, her older sister is a bore and her much-older sisters are married to freakin'-rich-hotties. Poor dear.
Jules Paxton. I just really like this movie. One thing that is obviously important about a modern 17-year-olds life is their search for a college or job or whatever. Basically 17-year-olds have to worry about the future for the first time.
Knives Chau. Poor Knives is very 17. She is like the outward manifestation of the feeling that all 17-year-olds who run in older circles have. She is well liked, but just a bit left out.
Jenny Millar. One of my favorite things about An Education was how well Carey played the age. There is a really distinct 17-year-old emotion that she captured.
True Girl is finished. I finished a first draft of my story. The X-Files are finished. Farscape is finished. My friends are back in college and therefore my fun is finished. I finished my money too, having fun with those friends. MY LIFE IS FINISHED. Okay no, but I am really bored and seriously looking forward to school giving me something to do other then staring at books and not actually reading them.
