Movies.

So we watched a few movies over the weekend, not together though. Two of them are Drive and Blue Valentine, both featuring Ryan Gosling. I watched Lars and the Real Girl (again featuring Ryan Gosling) a few weeks ago and suggested it to her. We watched The Believer together, she There and me Here.

I loved Drive, she didn't like it much. She felt it was pointless and I couldn't explain to her why I loved it. Like I told her, maybe it's one of those movies you either love or hate. The song- Nightcall by Kavinsky.

Both of us loved Blue Valentine. She cried and I cried too, how can you not? She called it a heartbreaking movie. The song- Hey hey heey, la la la la la laa la - You and Me by Penny and the Quarters.

She was disturbed by The Believer, it bothered me too. I asked her to watch American History X, I don't recall if she did. No song from this movie. Just the scene in the church as he's reading from the holy book...

Lars and the Real Girl, what a lovely movie, we both thought. She thought of the amazing support system he had and all I wanted to do was hug Lars and sit next to him with my head on his shoulder holding him.

Waiting to watch The Ides of March, releasing sometime in the next two weeks.

On a Ryan Gosling high, quite understandably. He's so different in all the above movies, such diversity. Very believable. There were few news articles running yesterday which said he might give up acting, to which he reacted saying, he doesn't want to make movies all his life. I hope he doesn't stop anytime soon.

Oh, also, he's part of a band- Dead Man's Bones, with his friend Zack Shields. A fun, side-act.

Don't stop acting.
