I have a massive headache.

I've been in a bit of a depressed mood lately, I think mostly brought on by watching Atonement the other day. It's a great movie and very beautiful and I've even seen it before, so I'm not sure why it made me so sad to see it again. I knew I should have skipped the Vanessa Redgrave part. Next time I'm just watching the parts with James McAvoy.

Atonement, by the way, is like the prettiest WWII movie ever.

In an attempt to cheer myself up, I tried listening to happy music and have had the Wombats' "Let's Dance to Joy Division" stuck in my head for most of the day.

I went to the Warren Theater to go see Deception. OMG, for a movie about a sex club with Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman, it is unpardonably boring. And stupid. I fled the theater as soon as the end credits started to roll, pausing only to note the screenwriter so I could avoid his stupid dialogue/plotting in the future. Blargh. I love Ewan McGregor, but I have sat through many terrible movies on his account.

Hence, the massive headache:P

I still haven't bought a copy of Atonement yet specifically because it depressed me so much when I saw it in the theater. I got about half way through the novel before I went to see it, and I haven't been able to pick it up again since. Still, I suppose I need to get it someday. It is brilliant overall, and, as you say, James McAvoy. We need as much of him as possible ;p

I was afraid of that. After I got over initially being excited about a movie featuring two of my favorite Sexy Men, once I saw what it was actually about, and looked at the website, I wasn't holding out much hope. Now I know to save my $8 for something better!

Oh lord, the book is just brutal. I think Joe Wright has maybe a tendency towards sappiness and can't resist tacking on new endings for adaptations, hence the P&P kiss and the Atonement beach frolicking. But I'm not going to complain about that now because next time I'm just going to skip to James and Keira on the beach and pretend that the Vanessa Redgrave part doesn't even exist. Much like how I usually pretend the last five minutes of Moulin Rouge doesn't exist. :P

Hmm, I need a James icon.

Oh my god, seriously. I was so excited about The Hugh Jackman Ewan McGregor Sex Club Movie Holy God Yesssssss that I'm surprised I didn't call it that when I bought my ticket. Why must everything good in this world be destroyed?

Now I'm trying to think of the worst Ewan McGregor movie I've seen. Maybe that one where he's a security guard.

Why did they even bother with that lame-ass plot? Ewan McGregor Hugh Jackman sex club yes, please is all the plot that any paying viewer would ever need. And Ewan hardly even got naked. That's so not right, it's like false advertising.

I haven't seen the security guard on, but the worst I've seen is the one where he's stalking Ashley Judd. Oh, and The Serpent's Kiss. Boring, pretentious and he wore a Mary Pickford wig through most of it.
