i'm all conflicted
dear certain friends and family members,
you evil, thoughtless sons of bitches.
did it actually occur to any of you to perhaps warn me that this movie, a movie that you all proclaimed to be a "beautiful, heart-wrenching love story" or some such dribble, was primarily about dementia?
did any of you stop to think to yourselves "hmmm, la nadine lost her father to dementia less than two years ago, maybe she doesn't want to relive it via a cheesy b-grade teen romance"?
or did you all get together for the bi-annual meeting of the 'i hate la nadine club' and decide to torture me by having someone lend me this poorly acted, atrociously scripted, incredibly unrealistic excuse for a film?
do you really hate me that much?
and do you all really have such god awful taste in movies? sheesh!
i mean sure, the impressive support cast lent the otherwise straight-to-video film an essence of quality.
and yeah, i'm a sucker for a good old-fashioned love story as much as the next
and i'd be a liar-liar-french-panties-on-fire if i didn't admit to being somewhat hypnotised by ryan gosling's baby blues and perfectly sculpted arm muscles. who wouldn't be? the boy is HOTTT!
but for fuck's sake, having a very regal actress look constantly bewildered and making them say "who are you?" and "i can't remember" every second sentence is not a realistic portrayal of a very undignified and soul-destroying illness.
and yet still, despite the ignorant and extremely superficial portrayal of a dementia sufferer, i was still wet-faced and foetal by the time the credits rolled. it made me all sad and grievey and lonely and randy and piney for love.
their love was eternal. THEIR LOVE WAS FUCKING ETERNAL!
i want an eternal love like they had. except without the dementia bit. or the stupid death bit. and with a better script. and in real, true life. and with ryan gosling playing himself.
so, um, what was my point again? i can't remember.
*looks bewildered*
oh yeah, bad movie. obviously not based on real people. dementia not like that. make la nadine sad. make la nadine kinda horny. make la nadine want a man to hug and kiss. make la nadine embarrassed for watching it in the first place. make la nadine wonder about the taste of some of her friends. make la nadine lose her train of thought and write terribly scatty blog post*. make la nadine talk in the third person.
i need a cuddle. right the fuck now.
love (sort of),
la nadine

*this could also perhaps be due to the wine la nadine consumed at lunch today.

I liked the movie, although as most often is the case, the book was better. makes you cry more too, if that's possible.
Agree on Ryan Gosling- he is the hotness!!!
I guess I can jump on a 4pm flight to Sydney... will that be quick enough for Nadscuddle?
God you are a boozer, derrinken in de day... poor nads it really is quiet.
*cuddle*
*touches inappropriately*
*Thinks little of Ryan Gosling*

You poor little thing. Here *passes red wine* this will make you feel better.
I don't know anything about it so I refuse to accept responsibility.
I am sorry, however, that I wasn't there to drag your arse outa there. And even sorrier that I'm not there to hug you cause I give the best hugs and I'd squeeze that venom right out of you.
Nothing like a bad film to insult your very fibres.
Glad to hear you're wearing French knickers though. (I refuse to call them "panties")
french knickers are good. "panties" is a terrible word. g's are bad [sorry boys] boy leg undies are good. brazilian cut is maybe ok [? not sure] but bloomers are bad [everyone cheers].
Right on Melbs!
Those new mini briefs are ok. The ones between G and bikini brief. They take a bit of getting used to though. Feels like your knickers are too small at first. Mine have ruffles on them.
Boy leg is my fave, followed by my sexy stuff.
