So in other news, Charlie Bartlett – chuffing awesome film. the other half and I went to see it for free a few months ago thanks to Showcase Insider and I have fallen seriously in love with it.
No big deal? People love movies all the time? right?
No, not me. In fact it is very rare that I fall for a film – I am extremely hard to please and find myself indifferent to most I see. Out of every 10 films I see I’d say my ratio is 20% hate, 70% indifferent and 10% like. We went to see ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ the week before, a film that everyone in the country is raving about, I thought it was meh. The last film I saw that I like was The Simpsons Movie, the last film I saw that I fell in love with to the extent I have Charlie Bartlett – Drop Dead Fred – a film that came out in 1991, hah.
People ask me, what sort of films do you enjoy then? What was it about that film you didn’t enjoy? Didn’t you find that bit hilarious though? And the thing is I don’t know, because I am not a film connaisseur in any way, I don’t do critiques – most of the time I can’t explain why I do like something, or why I don’t, I just watch something and I either enjoy it or I don’t.
But I actually do see somewhat of a correlation between Charlie Bartlett and Drop Dead Fred, both are ‘Quirky comedies’ I think…so on that basis, any one got any film recommendations for me?
and finally, go see Charlie Bartlett already – but remember he’s my new best friend, not yours.
