I'm so confused ...
two gorgeous, talented men, only one of me! How's a girl to choose?!
**Never mind - Choosing is overrated - I'll take them both - since Kathyd-nj said she's willing to share BYJ! Thanks, girlfriend!** Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 3:00 am Catt, I've been remiss in not replying to all your wonderful posts here -- too busy and no time to give an accurate post, so waited til I could.
(Thanks Annie for all you have written also!!!
) Glad you got all your great stuff -- so exciting to get a box of YUMMIE stuff when you are waiting anxiously for it!!!
Now, not to get myself castigated by the legions of BYJ lovers of the world but I have to be honest here: I must be missing something on this APRIL SNOW thing -- (I have been trying to find a copy of the DIRECTOR'S CUT of this movie, its supposed to be much better). I watched it once - and to be honest, was so disappointed in this movie that I haven't watched it again. Now, after your posts, I'm thinking I really was either in a bad mood while watching or I totally missed something.
My feelings were that BYJ totally sleptwalked thru this movie -- he was uncomfortable for some reason with the story matter (not sure why after all, he did do a glorious job with UNTOLD SCANDEL and the story line to that was MUCH more out of character for him than this story line was) and it showed to me -- he seemed VERY removed from the character, not his usual acting for me. He looked like he wished he were ANYWHERE but in this movie. Or am I missing something?
I just kept watching and watching, but never once got the least bit emotionally connected with either his character or hers -- I honestly found myself wishing I could have seen more about the 2 in the car crash, cause they at least seemed to have some chemistry together from what I saw of their phone videos with each other!! I mean really -- the two main characters just were devoid of emotions.
A few tears. That was supposed to show me some emotion? His eyes weren't even showing me what he normally does -- he is one of those actors who can show more with his expression and face than most can with a million words yet he showed me.
...
nothing much. I understand being shocked, stunned, whatever -- that was fine in the first few scenes -- but come on, where was the hurt, the betrayal, the pain, the frustration I'm used to seeing BYJ very able to convey? As for her, she was so passionless, that I honestly kept saying to the screen -- NO WONDER HE FOUND SOMEONE ELSE!
COME ON, SHOW ME SOMETHING!!!
Sorry -- I will watch it again when I am in a good mood and I promise to try to see in this movie what you see -- but I can't be sure I will! As for PAPA, I agree so much about his ex-wife -- she drove me insane and she's the reason I skipped right to the end to get it all over with. She actually was excruciatingy bad to watch, so much so that I wanted to demand my money back from the seller of that Drama!
! And I too was shocked about the "leaving the kids alone" thing -- Annie and I have had talks about that before -- because it did bother me. Might have also "colored" the whole drama for me in a negative color, because it happened so close in the beginning and then happened again and again that it really bothered me -- I can't imagine leaving a child under 12 alone!
! Just me, I know..
.. Anyway, I will try to be less judgemental and rewatch AS to see if I can muster up any appreciation for it!
! Just because you have really liked it so much -- and so has your friend, so I must really be the only one..
.. I'm so confused .
