Notes from the Coast

Watching bad movies just isn't the same. But I've given it my all.

 

Bad movies I've seen in the last month include:

 

Dear John

Valentines Day

Remember Me

 

Ok. It's true. I've been choosing the romantic comedy. But, to be honest, listening to my parents enjoy a movie like From Paris With Love and genuinely enjoy it and believe it to be good... well, it kind of spoils the fun. My parents don't understand why I'm laughing.

 

With some bad movies, they'll enjoy themselves. But, you know, those tend to be direct to video B kung fu flicks.

 

 

This is what I want to say though.

 

Dear John was basically A Walk to Remember, but with the guy going to war instead of the girl dying.

 

Valentines Day was basically Love, Actually, but at Valentines Day instead of Christmas.

 

Remember Me was basically every romantic comedy, but with the most random attachment to September 11 tacked onto the end, using the twin tower fall to kill a character in the most asinine way, completely unrelated to the plot. Was it necessary? Not so much.

 

Other funny things I've seen: dog people. So many dog people! They form temporary bonds at the farmer's market, like old friends, to never meet again. Hipster bike culture at it's most advanced: ie Portland. USA advancing to the second round of World Cup. (Was that awesome? Yes. But still surprising to the point of hilarity.)

 

All in all, life is good. Life progresses. Bad movies continue to be made and I continue to watch them.

 

Until next time...
