I'm having a hard time deciding whether...
...I like She & Him more, or (500) Days Of Summer.
(Either way, I suppose works for me.)
Credits:
"Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?"
By: She & Him
Directed By: Marc Webb

Sidenote:
I found myself flipping back and forth between the final game of the World Series (which I'm absolutely not a baseball fan, but more a fan of celebration, I'd say) and Changeling, which happened to be on HBO.
I didn't at all intend on watching Changeling. It just never appealed to me. I think this is because of the emergence of other 20's inspired movies, or frankly any movie set in the early eras. I tend to believe they rely too heavily on big budget and star power. The genre just feels a bit diluted and gimmicky as more and more of these films come about on a yearly basis. So, I find myself looking past them when they're released into theaters.
But when the vintage Universal Studios intro came at the opening credits of Changeling, I found myself wondering... What movie went so far as to be particular with this Universal intro? I enjoy that 5 to 10 secs of visual detail. Props, Eastwood.
2 hours later. (1:30am.) (Which I also have class in the morning.)
I find myself awake and elated, with so many emotions. So much I want to talk about.
It was quite a rollercoaster.
I felt so disgusted; particularly every scene that Captain Jones was in. Fuck him, and the guy who played him so well.
And I equally felt so compelled to the pain and suffering of Christine Collins.
Inevitably, leaving me overjoyed to the see a smiling, strong-hearted Angelina Jolie in the last moments of the film.
On most mornings, I pain to think about the nights I spend laying in bed aimlessly watching TV.
So unlike most days, when I find my face adhered to my desk... struggling to stay awake in 7 hours, I'll make sure to remind myself how much it was worth it.
