why just now..

...that I learned to love watching movies?

Obviously, this is for the love of my bucket list again {which by the way, i won't be able to finish on time. sue me!}. Goal # 23 says Watch good movies. I put it there because I know I'm really not into watching movies and that I've been missing a lot already.

Having said that, I had to force myself to do something towards the completion of this goal.  With force, I mean I had to drag myself to St. Francis to buy DVDs and learn how to download through Vuze. I didn't even  know something like that ever existed.

So with the combined power of pirated DVDs {oops!} and downloadable DVD rips i finally got a copy of  my all time favorite movies - So Close and Now and Then, and two movies I've been wanting to watch {just because they're popular} - Avatar and Kimmy Dora.
  
23. WATCH GOOD MOVIES
And with that I mean upcoming good movies and famous flicks from the past which I missed watching {for heaven's sake, why}. I'm really not much of a movie-goer, it just gets worse when a certain movie I missed watching suddenly becomes the talk of the town. Oh dear, I can remember Avatar. How it inched its way to the charts with me having no plans of watching it. Few days {or weeks, I dunno} after, every single bus I flop myself into has that movie in their television screens. Either I wasn't able to watch from the beginning or was not able to watch it until the end. Not to mention they have bad audio and video. So, even being able to almost watch it for like four or five times, I hella have zero understanding of the story. I can only remember green alien-looking creatures. Aside from Avi {Avatar, that is}, I also have Kimmy Dora in mind. Call me a loser but I did not get to watch it. Everyone was talking about it then. Repeating funny lines and laughing at the craziest scenes. I have yet to figure out if I was on Earth while it was selling like pancakes on the cinemas {wacha think?}. And speaking of good movies, I would also love to be a bedbug on weekends to watch again, for the nth time, movies like Now and Then and So Close. The latter being the only movie that made me cry, EVER. Urggh, I'm saying too much. Enough! 
 
Surprisingly, I didn't stop after I was able to get what I originally intended to. I learned to love it as a past time I guess. Another good way to prevent myself from shopping aside from blogging, of course. I've been spending weekends for movie marathons, this weekend included. And if you haven't discovered, movies go best with MSG! Chips and dips, if you don't get what I mean. Hahaha!

just the right amount of MSG intake :P

too bad the baby munched on them too

And oh, before I end this random movie post, let me just share I finally have my favorite foreign actress in the form of Jennifer Aniston. I realized I like her while watching He's Just Not That Into You. I totally love the way she talks and the way she moves, sooo gorgeous. I've also seen Just Go With It. Yet again touched with the movie as it deals with the family. Any other Jennifer Aniston movie you'd suggest?

Two thumbs up for another strikethrough in your bucket list! :) I have one on 43things.com. Have you tried that site? Anyway, yes, chick flicks are like little get-happy dozes. I like Jennifer, too. I was never Team Angelina anyway. Lol.

And I want the chips and dips, too! One cute movie is coming up: Monte Carlo. I wish I could watch that in theaters. I heart Leighton a bit more than too much. Haha. And wanna watch Transformers, too! Yay!

Oh i love movies! Dito hindi masyado kasi apart from it being way to pricey eh ang pangit ng moviehouse! But I do try to catch up on Bluray. At syempre, nothing beats a good movie & crisps!
