How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

The Perfect Man

27 Dresses

Where the Heart Is


We'll never be friends.

As for me...

LOTRTFOTRTTTTROTKEE

Good bad ugly of course (great choice from above)
Magnolia
welcome to dongmakgol
Dark knight too
Ong Bak
A serious man (What a WOUNDER)
memento
hachiko - a dogs story

These aren't remotely what I'd call favourites of all time actually. They're just ones I am currently thinking about. I'm really not the kind of person who can favourite things outright, choose a best friend etc.

The only way I'd have a best friend is if it was my ONLY friend.
Oh... Ok so I have a best friend. And it Isn't Jesus (sometimes I like to think so, though)

I assumed you were a girl with those choices so they didn't bother me

Saw Greenberg last night.

Understated and likeable.

Nothing new, but yeah, very likeable.

I dunno maybe I just fall in love momentarily with that kind of lead female too easily. Soft, warm, giving, funny, smart not over self protected or defensive, aproachable and open to life...

Nice partial departure from Stiller's usual schtick also, nice to see him doing something a little different. A little, not a lot.

Yeah I'm a sucker for those Amercian indie films. Not on my fave films list, but I long for that kind of life;

To be at least semi affluent with a nice apt and to have creative, intelligent, warm, non precocious friends and an easy going, sensual but bright, witty, ballsy woman with a colorful personality. Someone like Annie Hall, or most all of Dianne Keaton's lead roles in Woody films, but a bit more down to earth and about 40% less neurotic and self involved...

I'm such a dreamer. No wonder I'm rarely more than the most basically content and comfortable in a life which doesn't live up to either my expectations, the lives lived in the films I like or even the very real but fleeting experiences at university and my first 2 years in Korea.

And they wonder why I drink.

well Chasing Amy was great, hell I even had my own"chasing Amy" story but it isn't as witty as clerks or as funny as mallrats. It is still up there though.
