unrealistic, but happy & realistic, but it bites

i'm home now and have plenty of times to just spend hours staring (read: watching) at my laptop's screen and ticking off those movies i've been putting off to watch (like pride & prejudice, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and a few which are still playing at the cinemas).

so the other day, my sis asked how to download a movie (okay, i know it's morally wrong but personally, if it's wrong then why are there still sites to download movies from? i mean, it's torrents but still. and let's be honest, who doesn't do that especially if you have stable internet connection at home?) and then i taught her how. it's good that i am such an avid downloader, there was no need for her to do anything than just open a link that i sent her and voila! wait until the download is done, pop some corn (okay really, it sounds nice. that's why i wrote it) and enjoy your movie.

she wanted to watch You've Got Mail (starred by Meg Ryan and some guy... urgh. i know him. this is not the first movie of him that i've watched. okay2. alright, thanks Google. Tom Hanks. that's the guy) and i don't know the motivations behind her choice but i think i'd like to watch it too. (i know the movie is like a decade old, maybe older. idk. but they say a good movie is always timeless, right?;))

so after i got back two days ago, i've downloaded two episodes of Glee season 2 (E 16 & 17. love, the show) and a complete season 4 of Chuck (same. love it. can't get enough of it.), i took the movie YGM from my bro's laptop and started watching.

very pretty setting. beautiful story. but Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox's love story is very unlikely to happen in the real world. i mean, the guy just put your business that you've inherited from your mother, who before got it from her mother, out. Kathleen forgave him - and i don't think what Joe did was an admirable effort. so, so. thus, with that, YGM is a nice movie. not all-time-favorite worthy though. sorry.

after YGM, i re-watch Glee S02E17 and again, almost cried at the scene where Holly is leaving Will. it's hard to say goodbye, especially when we realize that the person that we love is actually in love with someone else. it's universal. it's sad, and it's realistic. close to us.

(oh man. i just gave away spoilers, didn't i? at least for gleeks in Malaysia who choose to wait and watch on StarWorld. sorry>.<)
