favorite scene: I liked the dancing-in-the-apartment scene.
audience reaction: The women in the audience liked this.
recommendation: This is definitely a Chick Flick film for fans of such a genre!
spoiler alert! In an early scene, a female character asked a male character, "Why won't you marry me?" And the male character answered, "Because I love you too much." But in a much later scene, said male character would have jumped at the chance to marry the still-pining female character had she posed the same question to him once more. I know that New Yorkers have a "tradition" of sleeping on the roof in the hot summer months. But ... they had their rooftop bed ( ? ) surrounded by lights as they "humped" themselves to sleep, seeming oblivious to the fact that they had neighbors with telescopes and camcorders at the ready to witness such a sexual spectacle! Such a "sexcapade" could have landed them on the Internet for "posterity" and, once rumors spread, would have possibly landed them in trouble, too, with an understandably angry and much chagrined Darcy. Why couldn't Dex ( Colin Egglesfield ) hear Darcy when she was just two or three feet away from the 'phone? So, Rachel lets Darcy win all of the time--what kind of an attitude is that for a lawyer? I hope that Rachel is never appointed as my defense lawyer in court, should such a need arise--heaven forbid! And Dex is too indecisive a character to be a lawyer, also! ( Hah! only in the movies .... ) "I want to be someone's first choice" implies that a relationship borne of such a choice will just be transitory, at best! She should have said, "I want to be someone's one-and-only choice." Dang! I can't believe that I'm actually advising a lawyer! When Rachel met Darcy for the last time at the street corner, Darcy had just come around from the side where Dex was shown sitting on a park bench. So ... did Darcy and Dex have an encounter before the "frenemies" met?
fyi: My condominium complex has walls that are "paper thin". Sometime ago, shortly after I had moved-in, I was awakened early in the morning hours by the sound of my downstairs neighbors having sex. She was moaning--then giggling! Moaning, then giggling. This went on and on .... That probably was some crazy, serious-business "french tickler" that he was using on her! It was as if I was a blind person "watching" a porno movie. Of course, I couldn't sleep after that! ( You know ... ) Since they awakened me, the least that they could have done for me was to invite me down for a three-way--how inconsiderate of them! Some people, I swear!
word of advice: Go for it!
tidbits: I went to Hector's place in Oakland to have one of his sons, Ismael, show me how to enable pop-ups on my blogsite. I'm guessing that this is the reason why I don't have ads posted on my blogsite yet.
Hector got a silver 1991 Honda Accord with a "salvage title". He's gonna have a mechanic check it out on Friday before he can have it smogged and registered. Then, we'll take it for a spin.
Hector's other son, Ernesto, finally introduced me to Two-Face's mom, Mercedes. I was surprised at the friendliness of the mother pit-bull. Mercedes is such a friendly pit-bull that she puts in question the bad reputation that the media and the general public have of such a breed. And Ismael also had a pit-bull, Guero, who was also very friendly.
I never had the Creole dish, Dirty Rice, before. So, I made Dirty Rice from a package for everyone at dinner time. I told them that after I make the Dirty Rice, I was gonna wash it in soap and water before serving it to everybody so it wouldn't be dirty anymore! Yeah, I know that it was a stupid joke, but I had to tell it. Everybody liked the Dirty Rice, even Tiger, the kitten.
I wanted to buy some snack and a drink at the theatre's concessions counter. But there was such a long line, and I had just eaten dinner. So, I just decided to skip it.
The auditorium crowd was mostly female. Yes, this movie is definitely a Chick Flick. I'm sure I stuck-out like a sore thumb! Lord, the things that I do for my readers ....
On the way home, I swung by a store at the Hilltop Mall in Richmond, CA, to buy some toilet paper, and a new leather belt because a canvas belt that I used for my casual pants simply couldn't hold it up properly. I know that it's in vogue nowadays to wear pants practically down to the knees and expose the boxer shorts. But, it's a very stupidly-retarded "fashion" statement--and the thinking man Cine-Man is not that kind of a guy.
If Hollywood can get some rap artists to wear suspenders, that might get the boxer-shorts-exposing retards to do likewise. And that will be the end of this fashion abomination! God, help us ....
