featuring Sydney (again).
In response to Sarah's "Happy Endings SUCK." I couldn't help but write my own opinion on movies. Sure, the happy endings in movies are usually fake and corny, but no matter what movie it is, there is always that moment when two characters realize that they are meant to be together. I call this the Ah-Ha Moment.
Sydney: After the climax of every film, there always seems to be this moment in which the two star-crossed lovers finally succumb to their feelings and realize that they want to be together. Usually, one of them, suppressed with an inward struggle (probably the man trying to hold on to whatever shred of manhood he can), tries to deny the fact that yes, he has fallen madly in love with the beautiful damsel in distress. Luckily for the romance addicted audience, true love overcomes all, inspirational music plays, and the two characters stare madly into each others' eyes and share a passionate kiss. Whoopee, love wins!
Me: Wow... who uses words like "succumb"? Just kidding. I do. (Sydney: No, I do.) I read over what she wrote, and she may sound all pensive and eloquent (Sydney: Damn straight.) , but if you could see her at this moment, she is wearing a freaking sombrero. (Sydney: It is my thinking cap.) I just can't take her seriously--therefore, I continue.
The other day, I was watching the movie Just Go With It, with my friend Sandy and Noodles. Sandy had already seen this movie twice, and Noodles, well, let's just say that she doesn't really get into the romantic aspects of movies the way I do. So, I was sitting there on the couch, enjoying the movie (real quick, so you have some idea what I'm talking about---the movie is about a guy who wants to get this younger girl, but she thinks that he is getting a divorce, so he makes up this fake wife---and then he asks one of his best girl-friends to pretend to be the wife he is divorcing). If you have any common sense (and some idea about what always happens in these types of movies) you can predict the ending---not to spoiler it or anything.
As the Ah-Ha Moment was occurring, and the two main characters on the screen were gazing deeply into each others' eyes, my two friends were talking obnoxiously and about nonsense. While they were talking, I had to use precious oxygen in order to tell them to shut up; consequently, making even more noise and drowning out my scene. They continued blathering on, until finally they shut their pie-holes and I was able to catch the last few moments of the Ah-Ha moment. Thanks guys. >:(
XOXO
Amanda and Sydney
P.S. Sydney wants me to write (XOXO, Gossip Girl) and Sandy says "hi" because she has nothing else intelligent to say (except she made up that last line)
