Pammyk's thoughts

  • Valentine's Day

    Under discussion:

    I went to the Valentine's Day screening. I was excited about getting my Four Eyed Monsters sticker Four Eyed Monsters sticker and had already decided to like the movie. How can I decide to like a movie before I've seen it? The same way that I decide that I don't want to see a movie before I've seen it - fairly close mindedly.

    So did I truly like it? Would I have liked it if I had randomly seen it at a film festival before hearing anything about it? If I hadn't just had two java jive martinis and was sharing a box of chocolates with my friends on Valentine's Day? I'll never know. It was a little wacky and there was some potty mouth and swear words - things that normally turn me off to a movie, but I liked watching it.

    I liked watching Arin and Susan write to eachother. I liked watching Susan at her job. I thought Arin's fantasies were funny. I liked how the birds were beautiful and fluttery and then when there was an STD in question the birds were walking around on a gross rooftop in their own poop. 

    I felt like Susan could do better than Arin though, at least throughout most of the movie. Toward the end I felt like maybe Susan was being more completely herself in the movie, but Arin was acting. There were just a few scenes toward the end where I felt like Arin was himself and relaxed with Susan, and then I started to see a wonderful little four eyed monster.
