Mr and Mrs Smith.
Saw the movie today. Was pretty apprehensive about watching the movie, especially because I somewhat like the serial, even though nobody else I know likes it, and I wanted the movie to have the same actors.
But the movie is still pretty cool. And I am not entirely sure, but I think the neighbours were these actors. Would be so cool if they were.
It follows the whole story of us thing, where the two are sitting in front of a councellor and talking it out. I like the part where the councellor tells them that a LOT of couples go through this, and Brad Pitt says something like "un-huh?" this quote is NOT there at imdb, which is pretty wierd. This one is there though...
Jane Smith: There's this huge space between us, and it just keeps filling up with all the things we don't say to each other. What's that called?
Counselor: Marriage.
Pretty funny. There were a load of pretty cool dialogues, like the chiken-shit and pussy exchange. I like the parts where they are trying to kill each other off. Then the make up and gang up against everyone else. But they have a lot to catch up on.
Jane Smith: My parents died when I was five. I'm an orphan.
John Smith: Who was that guy who walked you down the aisle and gave you away at our wedding?
Jane Smith: Paid actor.
John Smith: I said it! I said I saw your father on Fantasy Island!
Nice dig at "reality" shows. Who actually believes them any more? i was wondering how all of this fit into the real life story of the Mr and Mrs Smith of the television series. At first, the movie seemed like a good ending to the series, then it seemed like a good beggining to the series. Finally, the best cunclusion I can get is that there are many pairs of Mr and Mrs smith as Mrs Smith pointed out in the movie. Also, the councellor does say that more couples than this one have similiar problems... AND since the neighbors were most probably the same actors, they could've been a Mr and Mrs Smith too...
Just an idea.
I never actually wanted to watch the movie, but something struck me about the posters since the beggining. There were two versions of the officially released posters, one with Jolie having a gun on her thigh, and one without:
this is the poster with both of em
notice the gun on the holster. Now the same picture of Angelina Jolie appears without the gun, which shows that the gun was added later on digitally. kind of like the mace windu lightsabre incident which led to the invention of the entire lightsabre exchange ritual in the star wars universe just to explain the goof up.
this is Mr. Smith, for the heck of it.
the s&m action in the movie is really hot. But its too soft, reminds you strongly of Liv Tyler in One night at McCool's.
About the rest of today, Aashray came over in the morning, I gave him underground 2, and he gave me non-working copies of a new world and gta3 : vice city. Damn him... Anyway, after that i went to watch the movie. Played ONE game of badminton and won after the movie, then came home and am blogging. taken admission in SIES, but turns out that there was a second list in KC< which was put on the fifth floor, and no one knew about it, including the pune who told me there wasn't going to be a second list... ah well. Still keeping my fingers crossed, but I don't think I will get into KC afterall. Still, would be cool if I do.
But SIES is pretty good too, and it shares most of the faculty with KC, so i am not at all dissapointed with SIES. I finally realised how important my HSC marks were. Even if i would have got around twenty marks more, which was easy, but not dead easy, It would have boosted my percentage enough to make me cut the mark and enter the best BMM college around. Damn.
Regretting it just a bit now, but as I said, SIES is not too bad. Have seniors from my old school, one of whom I'd rather avoid for his twisted sense of humour...
I am rambling now. Hey I have a right to ramble, that's what blogs are for. Need to put up my list of favorite things too... bumped into this blog... pretty good blg actually. http://charuta.blogspot.com. Oh yeah, just click here if you are really bothered enough.
Forgot to blog, something exteremely funny happened in the theatre today. i got up from my seat, and as I was sitting back down, the chair folded up behind me and I almost sat on the ground. Was a bit emberassed, but I laughed it out. damn. Then my bottomside got really wet as I had a great fall while playing badminton on the leaky, wet side of the court. whoever heard of playing badminton in the monsoons?
Jane Smith: Any last words?
John Smith: The new curtains are hideous.
