What could i possibly say about this movie that hasn't already been said?It's brilliant!This weekend is the last it will be available to watch in 3D.And if you have not seen it yet i strongly suggest you do.It was unlike any other movie experience I've had.Mostly because it was just so charming creepy stunning absorbing beautiful etc etc but partly because I SAW IT ALONE!!!!AHH!
Going to the theater by myself had been one of my fears for a long time.The last time i did i was a wee adolescent going to see one of the biggest movies of the time.. Titanic.Psh,Everybody and their grandma was in that theater!!There i sat alone trying not to cry at the sad parts because i felt like everybody in the entire theater was watching me.I had some popcorn that i didn't eat because of course i felt like they could all hear me chewing.It was horrible to say the least.
But this time around was different.None of my friends wanted to see it(LOSERS!hahaha)and i wasn't about to pass the opp to see it in 3D.Soooo I drove there alone,bought my ticket alone, went to the concession stand alone,sat in the theater and thoroughly enjoyed a really great movie ALONE.
Nobody was staring at me when i laughed at the cute parts and i ate an entire bag of Twizzlers by myself without giving a shit if anybody was.
Annnnd it was amazing.
Anyhow this was meant to be a review of sorts and ended up being more Real World confessional.But i guess the point is go see the movie!
Even if you have to go by your self;)
I find that when we take an activity that usually requires more than one person to "truly enjoy" and go against it, making it fun, on our own, it can turn into a very empowering thing. Just like back in the day, I wouldn't go shopping alone, because I always felt like I was being watched and accused of being a shoplifter for browsing and not buying. I still get the jitters every now and then, but If I don't do it alone, I never will!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, sorry I'm such an asshole friend, but my hate towards popcorn and smelly children overpower any friendship I have ever had.
I'm glad you saw it! I actually am looking forward to seeing this on DVD since Burton is a genius, and has never disappointed me, ever.
I thought it was him too!It's actually Henry Selick and he is a genius.But they did give a preview for 9 which is the newest Burton film(sort of) that like had me drooling in the theater as you can imagine.
ReplyDeleteLOL it's ok,I think you would have really loved it though.And hey i didn't go see Repo with you but in all fairness i did forget.haha!
That is so awesome! I went to the beach alone once and everyone thought I was weird. I've always wanted to do the movie thing. I'll go with you next time!
ReplyDeletewhat movie is this ? oh i like watching movies alone, you'll give your full concentration on the movie and you wont feel like you just wasted your money on a movie that you spent talking to your friend haha
ReplyDeleteIt's a new movie by Henry Selick filmed in stop motion animation and its SO great!I really loved it and i definitely didn't feel like i wasted money.haha
ReplyDeleteJean!going to the beach alone sounds awesome!I might have to do that sometime soon.Yes!Let's make it a date.
oh, i love to go see movies alone! it is so much better than seeing a movie with someone who is going to grunt and groan or chatter through it! glad you took the plunge, and you can do it again.
ReplyDeletei'll have to try and catch this movie. you have convinced me that it is worthy of my time!
