I'm not
naive. The Notebook,
book and movie, had my wife—and every other woman—all atwitter in 2004,
so they all saw it.
The movie focuses on an old man
reading a story to an old woman in a nursing home. The story he reads
follows two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and...
MoSup saw it with her mother. It
probably won a bunch of awards?, but still, I know there are lots of
people like me who never bothered (... reading a story to an old woman in a
nursing home? Puh-leezz).
I watched it a few days ago. Didn't know what it was when I
stumbled across it, so I scheduled it to record later that day.
People who like the smell of beer and cordite will like this
movie - if you're over 50 anyway. Can't speak for the young pups.
It's a good story, with handsome people acting good, and it will
rekindle your own sweet memories. Just watch it when nobody else
is around. You'll want to squeeze Rachel-McAdam's
guts out.

My bride watched it enough to memorize it. I saw it once. Eh.

Years ago I saw something called "The Beach". Once is enough.
ReplyDeleteMy wife loved the book but said she was terribly disappointed when she saw the movie.
ReplyDeleteThe pussification of the American male continues unabated. Try this instead:

True story and not gay.
Anyway I though we all agreed that chow, women and revolution are your strong points, movies not so much?

ReplyDeleteIt's all good Rodge, 23 years old and I like to watch these movies when nobody can poke fun at me. I don't think it's the pussification of America. Pretty sure it's just a movie.

Immortal Beloved and The Notebook are the only two "romance" movies that I can stand to watch more than once. Great storytelling!
ReplyDeleteMore than once!??? Josh, welcome young man. We're here to help!
ReplyDeleteThat was jodi of impeccable taste that went" more than once," and Josh has been around here since he was in Junior HS. I'm going with them.
ReplyDeleteOoops, my bad, should wear my glasses. Sorry Josh, Jodi, Rodge. I'm teasing you know.
ReplyDeleteGena Rowlands and James Garner, man I love the both of them and they weren't even the big stars.
ReplyDeleteJames Garner I first saw in Maverick the TV series. Will watch just about anything he is in. If you pay attention he acts without acting. Just so smooth, like Sean Connery, David Niven, etc. They make any movie enjoyable.
