Lars and the Real Girl (spoilers)

So after all that talk about it I had to see it. I went to the video store but they were closing out and I wasn't going to buy it for 10 bucks. So then I went to another store with the DH and showed it to him and he says we have that movie. Someone gave him dvd's in Iraq. Well Hell, I look for a movie and we already have it. I almost bought the damn thing because it was cheaper than renting. So it was good. I thought they would have gone into the baby more. At least waited until after the birth to end the movie. That was so great that Bianca got a job and did volunteer work. I loved the fights too. Thoughts' feelings, anyone?

For a SECOND (I swear it was just a second), I was thinking this post was going to end with, "Then I realized this was not the right movie. I got tricked into watching porn!" because it's totally called Lars and the Real GIRL. And where does my brain go? Immediately to assuming that Lars and the Real Woman is NOT an innocent mistake in a thread title, oh no, it's clearly GOT to be budget porn.

I'm demented. Truly.

Anyway, I saw it. I like Baby Goose, he's pretty cool. I guess the only way I could describe my feelings is to say, "I liked the idea, I liked their enthusiasm and energy, but I think they JUST missed the mark." It was good. But it was depressing as hell because it missed the chance to be GREAT. Does that make sense? If there had been no further potential for the movie - if it had maxed out its awesome-factor, it would have felt better, somehow. But knowing it could have been more than it was left me feeling a little... Meh, I guess.

I don't remember the character names and whatnot because it's a good while since I saw it. But I thought Ryan Gooseberry was superb with his social awkwardness. Really a brilliant performance when he is squirming away. I could totally relate. Anyway that occurs early on and that made me love the whole film.

I remember his name strictly because his last name is Gosling. Hence, he's Baby Goose. I love Baby Goose.

I also love the website fuckyeahryangosling too. "Hey Girl" pictures never get old.
