You can run, boy, but you won't go far.
Jun. 29th, 2012 02:03 pmYesterday and the day before, I went to the movies. I saw Brave the first day, and it was...okay? I feel bad not saying it was completely and utterly amazing, but it wasn't to me. It was good, just I guess I was expecting more. Though, Up, my favorite Pixar film took a few watches for me to love it as much as I do, so maybe this will be the same.
The other film I saw was Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. The trailer and even name of the movie pretty much give away what happens, but I didn't go to watch it for the end. I went to watch it for the journey to the end, and I wasn't disappointed. It was brilliant, hilarious, and depressing all at once.
I got carded going into it actually. I've never been carded for a movie before, but back to what I was saying.
Basically, in the movie, an asteroid is about to hit Earth and everyone is going to die. Depressing premise, yes, but I rather like depressing movies sometimes. At least, when it isn't all doom and gloom, and that movie isn't. I also like movies that when it is over, it has me thinking. It asks that basic question, what would do with your life if you knew you only had a little longer to live?
One of my favorite lines in the movie (and trailer, so not really a spoiler) is "I regret my entire life."
That has always been one of my biggest fears, growing old, looking back and regretting everything I never did. Probably some of what I did do, but I think I'd regret more of what I didn't do. At least doing something implies that I tried, and how can you regret trying?
It is so easy to get caught up in the right now, and why I can't do something. Things like gas is too expensive, work in the morning, laziness, etc. Those are my normal excuses. And a lot of times, they're just that. Like, coffee combats work in the morning. I can afford gas (unless I'm driving to like, Cali or something). I just like thinking up reasons why not I guess. And I have millions on why I can't do something, when I all need is the want to do something. What more do I really need than that want?
