like a corpse?
Last week, I had the chance to watch The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants 2 dvd which I have been dying to watch courtesy of a good friend. It's not as good as the books though but we all know that don't we?
well, the sequel pretty much squeezed the 2nd, 3rd and 4th book altogether. Not a very good idea. It seemed too 'stuffy' and at the same time, didn't really focus well on each character, particularly Bridget played by the gorgeous Blake Lively. She went through this emotional phase with her grandmother and father but the movie didn't really capture that. And she was the only one among her friends who didn't get kissed/have an eye candy/find romance. But heh, guys aren't always the main attraction of the movie, no matter how handsome or charming or how ripped their bodies are... (you have to watch to know what I'm talking about, esp the body parts. hehe no pun intended.) *Geleng-geleng kepala* no seriously, tak semestinya kalau ada guys yg hot, itu menarik perhatian org nk tgk cite tu kan? kan? ok moving on.
Before you yawn and think "What is she writing abt? seriously man, cite ni bosan lah", I'm not writing a review or anything. The thing I wanted to talk about is when Carmen went to Vermont with Julia just to be a backstage person for a play but ended up auditioning for it when forced by Ian, a British bloke whom I would totally fall for, and got the part of the main character because she was genuine, not fake like her friend, Julia.
Ok still not my point.
There was this one scene where Carmen and Ian practiced their lines together on the hills of Vermont which were so picturesque and beautiful and made me want to move there, and Carmen asked why don't people talk like the old days anymore. Like Shakespearean with all the 'eth' suffixes and 'thy' and 'thee'. Ayat berbunga-bunga. People now had gotten so lazy she said. She mentioned these adjectives when describing the language back then.
"Good, rich, luscious."
"It's not the same. It sounds so good, it feels so good to say, it's rich and luscious and.."
I feel you Carmen, yep I do.
You feel me?
ala mesti tak. You have to watch it to know what I'm talking about!
well, that is one of the reasons why I love literature. The beautiful, scrumptious, delectable language. :)
Now that is my point.
p.s: I love Lena Kaligaris aka Alexis Bledel! She was as pretty as ever :D And she gets to have Kostos Dounas wuuu.
And I admire Tibby's sense of style. She's brave.
Ok ok ni bukan review.
Oh and I watched Superbad too. It was hilarious but had a lot of vulgarity in its language. Not so scrumptious I can say. But that's a whole other post. :)
