what-ifs?

Jan 18, 2008 03:30

I had never seen Before Sunrise before tonight. Judge me all you like, but it's the truth. Last weekend I was in Dublin for a gig and to visit some friends, one of whom hid it on another friend's bookshelf and then texted me once he'd left to give me a clue that it was there. He probably didn't want to get caught trafficing sappy films or something ( Read more... )

heart, what-ifs, moi?, movies

Well, if you liked it, you Really have to see Before Sunset. It is just as good, if not better.

Or so I've heard. Not that I watch these sappy romantic flicks. Pfft!

I've got before Sunset beside my bed for watching tonight. Or should I wait a few years instead?

I would not recommend waiting nine years (which is the time difference between the movies).

Actually, I see no reason to wait at all, you go ahead and watch it tonight :)

I still haven't seen Before Sunrise. But I'm not very good with films.

I haven't seen it so I can't judge. Nice to see you blogging again.

I haven't seen it either. But I don't particularly like films. Especially SOPPY ones!

It's very romantic, but not particularly soppy. It felt like it could have happened to me :)
Now, I'd probably need to look like Julie Delpy before that happened, but still!

Nah, I'm with you. Experiencing the situation is worth something. I think my whole relationship with Michael was exactly that. An ideal situation with the wrong person. I was in love with the life we had and the partnership and teamwork, but I was never really happy with him as a person. Part of that makes me sad that I spent 4 years in that situation, but in reality, I'm happy I did it. It was my first real grown up relationship that lasted more than a year and I learned a Lot about myself. I learned even more when it ended, but as a whole that relationship allowed me to really solidify what I do and don't want out of life and a partner. So yeah, I'm in the "don't let it slip by" camp. At least for while you're still trying to figure things out about life. I mean, if you Know who you are and what you want, then it's more acceptable to pass and say "no thank you" because you have the experience to back up the decision.
