Guys Leave the Cologne at Home When You Go to the Gym

I saw two awesome movies this Thanksgiving holiday. Why the hell do I always feel the need to write about movies on this thing? Anywho. The ones I saw were the completely obvious choices for me...Pride & Prejudice and RENT. Keira Knightley does a fantabulous job as Elizabeth Bennett. My sisters and I were saying all the lines left out of the modestly timed 2 hour version of P&P...It was quite amusing. Oh & Keira looks like a 12 yr old boy throughout the whole movie. I have NEVER seen a girl THAT flat chested. I would donate the the KKBF (Keira Knightley Boob Fund) if I could...Poor girl.

Then there was RENT. I don't even know what to say. Apparently, if you are a RENT fanatic you might could think that the movie isn't exactly like the Broadway show...and I'm sure it is not. However, the message was not lost on me. The power chords draw you in and manipulate you quite nicely. I LOVE all the characters. And afterwards my sister & I decided to move to New York and get weird friends. These two teenagers were on a date to this movie & made fun of it the whole time. I realize there is always going to be an element of cheese with any Broadway show, but seriously, it saddens me to think that people can't get past the "Will You Light My Candle?" scene and realize that we're acually talking about some pretty heavy issues here...Drugs...the hiv...but most importantly, loving people...because they are people...that aren't terrorist or satan worshipers...they're just people living life as best they know how. And if I can just stand a little higher on my soap box for a second. I don't want ANYONE to say something about all the AIDS in the movie. Cause, quite honestly, that could be almost anyone I know. It could be me...or my best friend...or my boss...Just because you aren't gay & don't shoot up doesn't not mean you are above people with AIDS. And I'm sick and tired of people being discriminated against bc of that. [Susan steps off box and reverts to overly passive Susan] Anywho, I love it and want to live that way...just loving people bc they are.

Later Peeps.
