Why I Liked... Writing And Other Artistic Pursuits (My Life)

Hello all,

So yes, I can admit that it's been quite the while since I've posted here...bad me, bad! But truth be told, I've been in quite the writing rut lately. Normally when I can't write fiction I can write fact (and vice versa), but it's been a terrible combination this past month.

I honestly thought that once I had seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 that I'd be back on my game, but...well, it's not like I got depressed, I just stopped writing. Sadly.

But seriously-I'll get back to it all, I promise. I'm also thinking of adding a new feature to this bloggo (I know, right? Way to over-extend, G...), one that I hope you'll all appreciate. And figure out on your own. It'll be at my own pride's expense, so I hope you might find it amusing. Somewhat. And hey, I gotta make this place a little more original, don't I?

 Forgive me? (hint)

Why I Liked... Friends With Benefits (2011)

(Dir. Will Gluck Starring: Mila Kunis, Justin Timberlake)

Legit, it followed the generic romcom tricks and made them funny.

Too easy is it for characters to go ‘oh boo hoo, romantic comedies suck, stupid songs play and everything’s way too perfect’ and then the rest of the film continues on in that vein anyway. But! Because they gave us that line, it makes us think they were clever and actually abandoned that generic formula, but guess what, Hollywood? Not so clever. We can see past your trickery! We’re not idiots! (sometimes)
