I saw "Whip It" yesterday. Ellen Page is awesome. I liked the movie. There were some things that I didn't like so much. I was not a big fan of the musical choices that were made. I'm not saying that they used bad songs, I'm just saying that they didn't really suit the specific scenes that they were chosen for (not all of them though.) My least favorite one was when they were at the head shop and the roller girls 'roll' in (XD) but the background music is just like.. a friggin' guitar strumming away. It sounded like a damn apple loop, and it killed the excitement that that scene was supposed to convey (those are my thoughts.) I was a bit shaky about the direction, but this is Drew's first movie, so. let's cut her some slack. Also, there were some scenes that were questionable. What was the point of the food fight? Maybe Drew just wanted to waste one or two days of filming and thousands of dollars in food, makeup, hair, and crew, just for fun. There were also some gaps in the story. I lot track of time for some reason. The one thing that did make me fart was when 'Ruthless' is skating around during the final match, and you can clearly see the mannequins they used to make the ware house look full. I rewound it and paused it. Hilarious mistake.
Now good things: The cinematography was good. Acting was good (for the most part,) And just thinking about how difficult it must have been to film the actual skating scenes. Lot's of retakes I bet. It wasn't a bad movie. I recommend.
My going away party was a success I think. I really don't wanna see anyone now though. Remember that thing about monday? Well, it may not happen now. Maybe though. I am seriously busy, guys. I don't need/want your help though. I'm gonna be out of town tomorrow. It was supposed to be today, but I guess City's homecoming is tonight too, and my brother wanted to go.
Jake, I told Jake to tell you that you were a dick. Just know that you are my favorite dick.
Ok. Lots to do now. I went college shopping at WalMart today. That was fun. K. I really gotta go now.
3 more days.
