you can tell when i really like someone

when i write a scene for them.

and i really like andrew garfield.

also usually, no, always, the scene sucks. hard.

i think it's because i watched two of his movies yesterday. and before that i'd only seen his lovely mug on tumblr.

(pauses and goes on tumblr to post two pictures of andrew garfield)

anyway, he is really good. i was impressed.

on a general note, the social network was just good. i couldn't find a suck in it. it does this sort of thing where your feelings a pushed. what i mean is, usually in a movie when it's a bad guy, you are against them, but there really isn't a bad guy in real life or in this movie, the problem is your protagonist is actually a pretentious fuck. so you get angry cause he can't keep his mouth shut. you get angry when he listens to someone he shouldn't. you get angry cause he is incredibly selfish. but you still like him. you hate mark zuckerberg and you love him.

back to andrew garfield. i'm realizing now that in both movies he was basically the audience's way into the scene. because he was the one everyone related to. in the social network, definitely. in the imaginarium of doctor parnassus, maybe not. but either way, he was handsome. very very handsome.

also if i ever write a scene based on someone IRL and it doesn't suck. i must not like them very much. there are some scenes in nebraska to this effect. there is a whole character in nebraska to this effect (jack).

but i love the scenes that suck. they hold a special place in my heart. i once expanded a scene into a play. that play actually has a film in my head. oh rupert grint. it's ok. one day.
