Wish My Life was in Black and White

Observation #32: Old movies and photographs have a way of making everyone look happier and more attractive.

If you know me, you know how much I love old movies. Well, my all time favorite (and when I say all time favorite I mean my favorite as of right now until I watch another one but it sure feels like an all time love so I won't be correcting myself) old movie would have to be Roman Holiday.
I think this is partly because of my love for Gregory Peck.

Can't you just feel his charm emanating from this picture?

I want him

I need him

Oh baby, oh baby

Stokage

Observation #30: Every single good book I have read has/will be turned a movie.

Seriously. If I were an author of novels, I would just write a screen play along with my book so I could get it all over with at one time.

Anyways, one of my favorite books that I actually read about 3 years ago is finally being turned into a movie
AND I AM STOKED! And considering I am a Stoker, my stokage can become pretty extreme. (insert pity laugh here)

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Read it before September 20th since that is when this comes out:

Get me a time machine quick!

Observation # 17: Vintage always wins

This has been my motto for a long time when it comes to fashion, but I have realized that it applies to every aspect of life.
Today's views are so wrong. If Lady Gaga came out in our parents age she would be shunned, no chased down with pitch forks for being of the devil! Or maybe that's just what I want to do... Anyways, I was thinking about this the other day while I was watching my favorite movie from the 50s:

Some Like it Hot

If you haven't seen it, watch it. Now.

Okay now that we are all on the same page, I have a question maybe you could answer for me:

What were they doing to make their society so much better than ours?

Really. 

The humor. The class. The style. The morals.

They had it right.

I've recently realized that this idea of beauty being a size 2 is a modern idea. Take my girl Marilyn:

I mean look at that Bod!

She was the sexiest thing during her day. And guess what

 She's actually got some meat! How refreshing!

Why can't it be 1959...

Zac's Defying Moment

So Kaitlyn and I continued the tradition of our movie watching/analyzing when we saw Charlie St. Cloud together. Our in-depth analysis on Zac Efron would have made any teenage boy sick, but I am proud of the results which are as thus; All men need to watch this movie and take tips from the one they call Charlie St. Cloud.
If you hadn't already discovered my feminism beliefs it will be very obvious now.
Boys are not good enough for us. Booya I said it! This new breed of men that society has regurgitated is just not acceptable. Now I know this is extreme over-generalising and my little brother would say something like "well girls are confusing" right about now, and Cameron would be right, but women are only confusing because men are pigs. Yes, that does make sense. We as women cannot make up our minds because we want a man in our life but we want one who thinks about other things than his "boys" and treats us with, dare I say it, RESPECT! Aretha understood it well. So we cannot decide, but men could make it a little easier on us. Which I will explain right after this short rant.
This movie, like many other chick flicks, raises chicks expectations of men. So boys, word to the wise, bring along a pen and paper and watch this movie, you will be changed for the better. At least we hope.

Just a quick visual

Isn't he great?

The Medical Results of Bootie Shorts

Warning: children or adults active in watching Hannah Montanna should be dicouraged from reading the bellow script unless accompanied by a sane person. The message below may contain mild language and slightly aggresive side affects. Should not read if pregnant, menstrating, or in love with Miley Cyrus (in other words, girls are encouraged not to read).

Wednesday March 24, 2010 I had the opportunity to participate in one of the great moments of life. The moment of the first viewing of The Last Song. Being one of the pyschos that must read the book before seeing any movie that is based off a book, I was quite excited to see this movie, for unlike any other Nicolas Spark's book, I actually got into this one. Naturally, after finishing the book I watched the trailer 7 times and looked up all the actors until the awaited day of the midnight showing. My willing friend Kaitlyn and I showed up to AMC with sweet & salties, the snuggles, and a large appetite for some man flesh; the necessities for any Nicolas Spark's movie. The much anticipated hour began with the first shot of Miley Cyrus, just a slight drawback of the movie, I thought. Then, she opened her mouth. It was the worst sound I had ever heard! Like a cat falling off a 10-story building. I couldn't believe it! Hannah Montanna was not gonna ruin this movie for me. But as the movie went on, ruin she did. With all of Hannah's bootie shorts and bellie shirts, she had inspired something: the ecnouragement to act. I mean, if people call what she did acting, then I can do that! My acting skills, although underdeveloped, are still exceeding hers that really have not earned the title of "acting skills." She has more of an "acting handicap." Moral of the story, bootie shorts and belly shirts cause a loss of brain cells.

A Letter to the Unknowledgable

Dear poor souls who take time to read my blog,
My life has changed.
From now on I am forever a lover of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I have recently watched 500 days of summer and am now entirely certain that I am the number one fan of that movie, and more specifically. that boy.
Yes, I realize the patheticness of blogging about my love for Joe, but like Disney Channel says, "express yourself."
Anyways, as you have guessed I love this movie.
Its brilliant!
Not just another chick flick.
It has depth and creativity, something most movies today seriously lack.
My only regret after watching this movie is that I didn't create it first.
Love,
Marissa Gordon-Levitt
p.s. so i discovered how to add pictures so enjoy! But not too much...
