I thought those robot emoticons were appropriate...
Remember when they were emoticons haha? Instead of smiliesss. God, we're gay.
Anywhooo...I finally saw Paper Heart.
I wish I had just seen (500) Days of Summer. It was a pretty bland and boring day. I sat around...actually set up this blog haha. Then finally got ready enough to leave the house. Went out for pizza...then just came home and went to the movie. Thoughhh guess who got the first parking spot at the movie even though we were running kinda late???? :)))
Not me.
Haha just kidding it was me :)
You'd be suprised how much of a pick-me-up good parking karma can be you know?
So, the previews to Paper Heart look pretty decent. I got in a little late but caught one for Humpday which was ironic because just the other day I saw that it was playing at Valley Art on Mill so I'll probably make a point to go...I've never been to that theater. There was also a preview for a movie called Play the Game...I think it could potentially be kind of an awkward flick...but probably really funny too sooo I'm there!
Anyway, Paper Heart. What can I say? It was totally cute. Totally semi-artsy feeling but totally querky young infatuation. Exactly what was to be expected lol.
I'm definitely a fan of the two leading actors though. (Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera) They're both very talented without a doubt and not just as actors either. They both contributed the majority of the soundtrack as well. They did so well I literally looked up later whether or not Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera are or were a couple at any point haha. But I guess that was just the general idea of a movie. It was a fake documentary about fake Charlyne Yi who doesn't believe in love...played by guess who? Charlyne Yi. Fake Charlyne falls in love with fake Michael Cera played by real Michael Cera. Its enough to spark a bit of curiosity.
Its basically a series of interviews and conversations between fake-Yi and the other fake-producer who's name is escaping me at the moment. The most creative thing about this film, though, was that during these interviews, all the interviewee's stories are told with them as a voiceover while puppeteer-Charlyne brings the story to life with cardboard cutouts and cellophane, not unlike 4th grade diaramas and Science of Sleep. Anyway, as cheesy as it was, I thought it was creative and awesome and I'm jealous I didn't think of an idea like that. I must channel my inner-child I guess?
I did enjoy this movie but I also really think it lacked depth.
But the ending was wicked-awesome.
Best song of the movie: Magic Purfume by Charlyne Yi and Matt Davis
Suggestions are welcome.
363 to go.
