Social Cheat Sheet

I’m kind of agoraphobic. I sometimes have “a morbid fear of wide open spaces, crowds, or uncontrolled social conditions.” Mostly the uncontrolled social conditions, though. I’m really paranoid about peoples motives when they talk to me, especially when their greetings (greetings being what happens when you pass this person on your way to somewhere else, when you don’t specifically seek them out) seem out of context with how close we are. I have a theory about this, and when I told Ellen about it she told me that it was the “saddest thing she’d ever heard.” But there has to be one person out there who is as socially suspicious as I am.

Insert creative movie-related blog title here

I swear to you I’m trying to do better about blogging on time. I also swear that the quality of said on-time blogging will go up. Ok? Things are just weirdly complicated right now, and I don’t have a lot of time to myself. However, I apparently have a lot of time to consume movies at an alarming rate. In the past week, I’ve watched so many I can barely keep them straight in my head. To help with my quickly deteriorating memory, I’ve made a list of short reviews.

When Harry Met Sally– As if I didn’t already have problems with unrealistic romantic fantasies. This is a dangerous movie to show a single girl.

Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus– If the title doesn’t tickle your fancy, maybe the bad CGI battle sequences and ridiculous “science” montages will. Perfect for the peanut gallery.

Air Bud– A childhood favorite. Also, I miss my dog.

Garden State– Zach Braff can act, write, and direct?? WILL YOU MARRY MEEEEEE?

You Again– That movie about a girl’s former bully marrying her brother years later. Predictable, uncomfortable, and sometimes inadvertently funny. Not something I’d see again, though.

2010: Moby Dick– The hilariously bad retelling of the classic white whale story. Spoiler: the whale can walk on land.

Bolt- SO. CUTE. Still miss my dog.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs– Loved the book as a kid, the movie was meh. Meh.

So yeah.

I swear I don’t just see Zac Efron everywhere

Last night Ellen, Colton, and I had a movie marathon in Ellen’s dorm’s lounge. First, Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus (yes, it was as fantastic as it sounds). Second, Air Bud. Now, I haven’t seen Air Bud in YEARS, although I still hold it as one of my all time favorite childhood movies. But me and the rest of the people that ended up watching (Ellen, Colton, Kevin, and Jackson) had a disagreement that I think needs to be addressed.
