finally got to see rules of attraction last night after hanging out in pearl with everyone. To watch it at 2am and still like it means it must be good. We were so tired already but we figured we may as well watch the dvd of ramon...este...quark na pala ang may-ari. Heniways, the start was already pretty interesting. The director had some interesting shots and angles. But i was thinking, maybe it has a lot to do with the editing as well. Kinda like memento. Joey and i spent a lot of time debating as to the time-frame-arrangement of the movie but i've been pretty observant lately so i was the one who got the right idea. (note to others: *deleted*)
i'm sorry if anyone read that deleted portion.
Anyway, Rules was really entertaining. The storyline had enough twists and turns for you to keep on thinking. Simple dialogue and aside from the main cast, those with smaller parts were pretty good too! like the girl who committed suicide. She's a nobody yet she convinced me she was dying in that tub. There were also a lot of issues regarding the drugs they use, that scary gay guy and all the sex in the movie. I think it was pretty visual without showing everything. And the scene did not try too hard. I think college life was pretty much like that, everything seemed like a life and death situation. Like your life would be over if the guy you pined for slept with someone else. Now that you're older - where's the drama? llife isn't that drastic but its still there and comes out from time to time. AND surprisingly, Van de beek delivered. But with that receding hairline, can they stop giving him teen roles already? cmon guys. Oh and in college? we also found pretty much every excuse to have a party in the weekend. Ironic that in the movie, it was called the end of the world party. Nothing is the end of the world even if it may feel that way. A boy dumps you, you get beaten up, you fail a class or some other shitty thing that comes your way.
Watched How to Make an American Quilt over lunch. Aaargh! VHS quality sucks! (back to hyde) but you gotta make do sometimes. (back to jeckyll) I am really tempted to buy pirated DVDs now...don't have cash to buy the real ones anymore! plus i'm saving for someone's birthday gift...
I just realized that winona ryder has huge hips man! her boobs are huge and she's got a small waist but her thighs and hips are huge! she hides them in balloony skirts but looking at her in shorts, well...how come in reality bites they weren't that big? although she was wearing those frumpy flowy dresses also. hmm...but dermot mulroney will always be yummy! best friend's wedding...american quilt...always the good guy yet never boring =)
Summing up both movies: American quilt says don't be too unattached to things that you love. You don't give up just because it's hard. Rules of Attraction says don't get too attached, it's not "the end of the world".
