Notebook-Shhmotebook

Aaaaaand, yet again I'm disappointed by a Nicholas Sparks movie. 

People rave about A Walk to Remember and The Notebook, but there's always something that just really bugs me. [Let's ignore The Last Song, though. It's not even...no. Just, no.] 

WARNING: Spoilers ahead.



Iconic picture is iconic.

   What bugged me about this movie was how the stupid girl couldn't decide which guy to stick with. I mean, come on, James Marsden is pretty wonderful. While Ryan Gosling is sweet, he's just kinda, well, sleepy.

Allie: Hmm, the guy who I was totally in love with when I was immature and only seventeen, and who I argued with more than is actually healthy--or the guy who was totally sweet and forgiving when he found out I slept with the aforementioned guy? Decisions, decisions. 

   "Come on, V, they were in love!"
Well, imaginary defensive friend, that's not a reason for her to be unfaithful to her fiance and then tell the guy whom she cheated with that she can't leave her fiance to be with him.
   Um...guys, hellooooo, don't you realize she's being a jerk to the both of ya?
I personally prefer it when the "heroes" are actual heroes with morals and don't have a reason for me to dislike them immensely. Someone who acts impulsively and without honor isn't a hero.
Sure, heroes fail and fall and they're not perfect. But this is the movies. It's not supposed to be realistic. I want the "Happily ever after" stories.
And that ending was so depressing.

  I suppose romantic movies that are just about romance aren't for me. Obviously, I get too worked up about them.
Anyhow, I'd rather watch The Italian Job with the guys.

   On another note, thank you to those who read my blog!
I've heard from several of you and I'm delighted that you get some enjoyment out of this. I'm enjoying it too. :)

Verse of the Day: 1 Corinthians 13: " ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Song of the Day: Dark Waltz - Hayley Westenra (so beautiful, her voice will knock you silly.)
