actors

isnt there anything out there? you know, for some reason or another, the next few lines i'm going to write will have totally no connection at all in any normal sense. like, why is the sun not so hot here. or maybe the world needs a new debt. are actors and actresses real? am i really alive? ok thats it. the last one hit it.

movies. another doorway to escape the realities of life. or is it another way of mocking life itself.

some movies are just made for the actors(im generalizing both genders together). just take a look at Julia Roberts in Notting Hill. or to a certain extent, Catherine Zeta-Jones in American Sweethearts. both films of which by the way, i really liked. you could call me gay or whatever, but watching the 2 shows back to back the lst few days are just really... nice. i couldnt find the word for it, so nice would have to suffice for now. not to mention i'm a sucker for romantic shows. i mean, the 2 shows, especially American Sweethearts could just make you fall in love with Julia's characters. the park scene in Notting Hill was just executed perfectly. and in American Sweethearts, the whole twist of the storyline, not to mention Billy Crystal's perfect timing, just made the love story between Kiki and Eddie so...nice. here we go again.

enough of actresses, before i get all woozied up. the 2 best actors out there in my own honest opinion has to be John Cusack and Edward Norton. i loved Norton ever since American History X. that show rocked. talk about gritty and in your face with emotional and touchy issues. he is just so under-rated. brooding sense of masculinity. if you ever wanted a definitive movie, go get Fight Club. nuff said. that show just speak volumes. but Norton hasnt been making any good films recently, but who knows.

and Cusack. the usual blink and you'll miss him guy. yeah, that was before Grosse Point Blank. comedy and thriller all rolled into 1. follow that up with Con-Air. and some low key shows like Pushing Tin and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. before bahm! Being John Malkovich. that show is just itchingly funny. after that, you get his feel good romantic shows like High Fidelity, Serendipity and American Sweethearts. he just brings that down-to-earth feeling to his characters, which is something rare these days imo.

"But you know the thing about romance is people only get together right at the very end" something from Love Actually.
