A 1,761 word review of "Dareka ga Watashi ni Kisu wo Shita" in which I use the word "strange" a lot

Apr 07, 2010 22:29

I have to go to school tomorrow even though it's my spring break for AP Calculus. Technically I also "have" to go for AP Government but it's so early... 7:30!! No thanks. I like sleeping. I SHOULD be doing my homework right now for AP Calculus but... eh. I don't get it. ;__; I hope I don't get in trouble tomorrow ;;

So I'll take the time ( Read more... )

OK i actually read all that :D
AND STILL, I'M SO JEALOUS YOU GOT TO WATCH IT!! XD
I kinda assumed that they were keeping Naomi's mum but they killed her off? XD Well, i guess it would have been easier to change things around~

ooh now i'm pissed
I'm trying to imagine Tego saying that and in my head it seems hilarious XDDD

I'm looking forward to watching the movie (EVENTUALLY! ahaha)

Wow you're fast! o__o And congrats~!! XD
DON'T WORRY, YOU'LL SEE IT SOON!!
Yeah! D: I guess to save time or develop Naomi's relationships with Yuji and Mirai a bit more... It'd be pretty complicated to throw in the mom and her new husband and daughter in as well. They didn't even go that deep into her dad's new girlfriend ;;

It was really funny! It's pretty much the most memorable English line in the movie. XDDD

NO WORRIES! It should come to you soon~ I sure hope it does. ^^ I mean, it's already subtitled so the only thing they really have to work out is being able to distribute it there~ :D

ahaha i'm a fast reader? :D
HOPEFULLY! THEY BETTER SHOW IT HERE!
yeah true, i guess it can't be helped that stuff gets cut out of movies~

ahaha i can imagine XD If i heard it i would probably laugh lol but since it's Tego saying it i'd still find it cute XDD

IT BETTER COME HERE SOON! D: Or else i'll complain~ I'll find someone to complain to XDD

Oh and good luck with your homework!! :D

Yes! You are! XD
THEY WILL!! NO WORRIES!!! 8D
If not... you could always wait for the DVD? 8D ;;;

No... trust me... you WILL laugh! XD I mean, you may find it cute afterwards but... it's just too funny. ;; I feel bad saying that about his English but... it just is ;;

Complain to all the movie distributors over there for not picking up the movie faster! XD

Thank you~! ^__^ Although... I think I'll just do it tomorrow lol

her mom was dead? lol i would have been disappointed too since I wanted to see that whole "i honestly feel like you're a slut" part in the hospital XD

but one thing i hate about movie adaptations is that I usually end up feeling like the book is better, and in this case i really don't want to feel that way but I guess I'll just have to wait and see although i might just end up liking the movie more because i'm biased |D
I definitely can't wait to see tegoshi as mirai though, will was my favorite character :)

It's hard to imagine the special effects with the photographs, but i'm looking forward to seeing that too.
thanks for the review 8D/ how was the kiss between naomi and mirai? :D

Ugh yes! That would've been really cool to see. D: I also liked the whole part in the book about the whole "are you screwing with me?!" thing. It was a lot more subtle in the movie.

Yes! I almost always feel like the book is better - though that may be because I've read the book first. I think the movie was really good but to be honest, I wonder if I'm just avoiding ripping it to shreds because I'm being biased. XD
Will was my favorite character too! Tegoshi plays a really good Mirai~ so no worries about Will not being as awesome as his novel counterpart.

You get to see it in the trailer, though it's a little different than what is usually shown.
rofl you're welcome! XD;; And the kiss? It was... SHORT. They only showed it once and... it was just short. :| The whole "realizing I'm no longer an amnesiac" scene was kind of lackluster as well. Not bad ... just, it was just like in the book. Though not in the same context, she wasn't all "OMIGAWD I REMEMBER A;KRJWKJATJ"

mikazuki April 8 2010, 06:46:50 UTC
aww, that part was good too. XD They probably didn't have the part where will called naomi a selfish bitch either, huh~ :'D

lol no, you're not being biased ;D
that's good to hear then :) I was reading reviews on yahoo though and some people were complaining about tegoshi being the big miscast role or whatever and how it was really painful watching him act...but eh, I'll have to see for myself although I'll just take your word for it :) maybe the people only felt that way too because I realized they might not have read the book so they only saw it as a movie full of idols and nothing else? idk XD

oh, so that's how it's like~ Even with the trailer I'm still having a hard time trying to imagine it /fails
I see~ I would have wanted it to be a bit more dramatic though, since I didn't really like how she all of a sudden remembered in the book, idk, that part was a bit iffy for me XD

No. D: I guess Naomi was a lot more... innocent, or something. Although they still included the scene with Ace where he was all "can we have sex again? 8D" It was actually really funny because he... bah, I don't want to spoil it for you though it isn't that ~huge~ of a spoiler ( ... )

GIRL. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I THOUGHT YOU KNEW!!!
Dammit... now I feel bad. I feel like I should've told you. ;____________________;

It was in Culver City which is pretty freaking far from where I live... or at least taking the side street to get there makes it seem that way. ~___~

omagod nooooo! i've been so in school mode that i havn't been keeping up with anything, other than dbsk updates. but aaaaah :( its okay i'll watch it online when its uploaded somehow. u took sidestreets?! well actually thats good because the 10 would've been killing you with traffic. don't we sorta live in the same area? 323! lol ew i can't believe i just said that. im reading stuff on arama right now, did you end up seeing tego's "blonde gf" ? i think the only johnnys related thing i'll be doing this year is seeing bakanishi, did you see the price list? its kind of ridic -_-;

rental_daughter April 8 2010, 08:13:18 UTC
Aghhh I'm sorry!! DBSK!! ;A; I don't follow them as closely but... b'awww ;___; Hehe yeah, you could always wait to watch it online I suppose. But if it gets released in theatres here you have to watch it! >:

And yeah... I was supposed to take the freeway but my friend said to avoid it. We still ended up arriving 7 minutes late to the thing. We were running like crazy and the director laughed at us! XD Thankfully it hadn't started yet...

Woah I didn't know you lived in the 323 area too! 8D Awesommee~ Where are you? I'm in Eagle Rock...

Ahh about Tegoshi's gf. I'm not sure, but even if I did I think I'd rather keep it on the downlow. (:

OMG THE PRICES ARE JUST... seriously? They expect people to pay THAT much?! |: I'm not sure if I should still see him or not because I don't really like him and... $30 for crappy seats makes me ifffffy.

FINALLY I GOT TO READ THIS AFTER 2 DAYS OF LJ BITCHING ON ME! LOL.

hmmmmm, I took some of your points in mind just in case. I was expecting more but yeah, Hans Canosa isn't much when it comes to directing as compared to big time ones like Sofia Coppola or James Cameron.

LOL AT TEGOSHI'S PISSED OFF LINE. I'm definitely gonna watch for it. What was Emma Robert's role anyway?

Which reminds me, I have to finish the book already. XD

rental_daughter April 11 2010, 06:57:01 UTC
YAY!! XDD Glad LJ is behaving for you now~

I know Hans isn't as renowned but it was still a good movie! ^^ I was honestly expecting it to be super low budget but it wasn't - or at least it doesn't look to be that way.

Emma plays Alice Leeds (or whatever her name was.) She basically just throws Naomi into a play and then after the play arc in the movie is over she's irrelevant. =\

Go go finish ittt!!! The book is really good~ ^__^ Or at least I fairly liked it. (:

merii_hydeist April 11 2010, 12:22:16 UTC
I hope it also gets released here. I'm still hoping. *crosses fingers*

yeah, off to finish the book. I'm just procrastinating. lol.
