Hope all is well with you. posted by: Razz (reply) post date: 09.10.07 (2:59 pm) Anyone wondering whether this film is worth seeing, it has received poor reviews overall--59% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ebert and Roeper stated, "Not only is that a huge stretch of the facts, it makes for a dull and overly familiar melodrama." posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 09.25.07 (6:05 am) Reply to Razz: Thank you for your input. It is definitely a chick-flick. I really enjoyed it and see what I want to- I only use services like 'Rotten Tomatoes' to back me up when I don't really want to see something. posted by: Razz (reply) post date: 09.25.07 (4:13 pm) Why use them at all then, if your mind is made up regardless? posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 09.26.07 (5:45 am) Reply to Razz: my reasoning was misleading. I haven't done so often or for years. I did so because I felt like I needed some back-up when telling my friends what movies I'd prefer not to go with them. posted by: Razz (reply) post date: 09.26.07 (2:23 pm) Interesting. Kinda arbitrary. What happens if your friends do the same to you? lol |

Becoming Jane was spot-on with emotions as visual cues. Even if there was no sound or another language spoken, I think viewers could really get what was going on. The subtleties of flirting and romance! So heart-wrenching! I was convinced as I walked out sobbing, that 'DUI's should expand to include emotions. Maybe the level of estrogen (or what hormones cause emotional overflow) can be measured? Thankfully, I sobered up a little as I was driving home. I could really identify with the movie- I wonder if it resembles the dating/love experiences of a majority of people? The most demanding thoughts as I left were, "If you have a good thing/love someone- go after her! Do not let her just walk away!" followed by "Know when to cut your losses." This sounds confusing even to me, who advocates both. I admire when a person knows what they want and goes for it! There are set-backs, though. Persistent people have been driving me up a wall, no matter how noble their cause may be. They can really step on peoples' toes. They are doing something! I am seeing more and more that analyzing and internal intellectual conversations have their limits. So do guessing games. Of course that does not mean that I will be straightforward. Maybe I will be when I am head-over-heels for a guy. I don't know. Being open and honest leaves us vulnerable & is scary. Being closed and standoffish doesn't open the door for shared kisses and laughs.
