Party Down
How Much Do You Love Me
Eclipse


Finally got into Party Down. Watched season one in one sitting. That's like 10 episodes and no productivity on a Friday night. I love it. Love Adam Scott. Love Casey. Kind of annoyed by Ron/season one team leader. Love cunty as an adjective. Love the series. Love the idea of idea of getting drunk at all of these events. Can't wait to finish season two.

How Much Do You Love Me is another French film and features the absolutely insanely gorgeous Monica Bellucci. She plays a prostitute being paid $100,000 a month by a man who just won the lottery to be with him -- or did he? And what about Gerard Depardieu as her pimp/husband/boyfriend? Anyway, lots of the gorgeous Bellucci naked/in a lace slip, fucking a guy with a heart condition. Some of the lighting is annoying as they change to reflect actual events/imaginary happenings. But the really annoying part is how everyone excuses anything they say by saying Bellucci's character is beautiful. Duh. She's hot like a thermometer in Athens. Liked it though, overall.

I excuse seeing Eclipse by saying I chugged like 1/3 bottle of wine before I went, but it was pre-meditated. If anything, I will say that my wine buzz made me enjoy the movie more than I might normally. I am more Team Jacob than ever, and I think any time R-Patz is on screen I am annoyed by his non-actual-good-lookingness-ness. I think they casted that wrong. Also, K-Stew looks a little like a less pretty Leighton Meister???? I don't know. Yay for some of the good parts, but I just can't actually like any of these movies for the awful messages they perpetuate about women's behavior. There's a whole generation of tweens who think they should cook dinner every night and never have sex with their boyfriends. Fuck that, that is dumb. Edward is dumb. Bella is totally stupid.

You know what, though? I'm done with that rant. What I'll say about Eclipse is that the close-ups of all the main characters were kind of mesmerizing, I got caught up despite myself, spent a lot of time smiling a secret drunk smile, and honestly, where the fuck did Jasper's Texan accent come from? Two movies and he's barely talk, and now telling his backstory and making snarky, lame ass comments while doing some kind of fight tutorial. Sorry women and toddler that sat next to me, I laughed/made inappropriate comments through the entire film. No regrets. R-Patz is too hairy and not-abby enough to be a really hot vampire. I'll take Eric Northmany any day...or night.
