On Rewatch

There is a thing a close friend does: he launches a series or a movie in his tv as background noise and works. I, on the other hand, tend to find comfort in the coffeeshops' noises and usually go there when I need background noises

Given that I hurt my ankle and have to stop running, cycling, aïkido and basically every motion involving my left foot, I have to keep to my room as much as possible and be comfortable. Therefore, I tried to take to rewriting and running through my drafts using this technic.

It proved a failure: I did not write much. But I got to rewatch many things!

Coffeshop at the corner it is, I'll take a cab to go 500meters.

The perk of Being a Wallflower

Two years ago, I was going through the Salinger reading phase: it's a state of processing The Catcher in The Rye's similar material. In my case, it was Go Ask Alice, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Now The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a movie I was highly expecting because:

-The writer of the novel is actually the one directing and writing the scenario!
-Emma Watson is in it!
-EZRA MILLER is in it!
-The trailer is looking good.

But not because I liked the book that much. On a scale from Never-read-it-again to obsess-over-it-forever, I'd give it good-to-read-again-whenever-a-sudden-drive-urges-you-to. I'm sorry I'm just not into teenage phase and teenagie stuff. Still, I think the book -and therefore the movie- made some valid points

I watched it today and it was as I was expecting: amazing. The whole cast was kicking, and here I was intending to only cheer Ezra and Emma.

No 3D on that one but a movie theater full of couples that cry and shout and scream at every exciting scene!

After such good movie within such peculiar atmosphere, I'm just thinking about watching We need to Talk about Kevin or Gozu or Gummo over again, to wash away a little bit.

Just a little bit.

And this movie is not going on my rewatch file. But it was awesome!
