I finally worked up the nerve to watch Marley and Me today. It's only taken me, what, three, four years? Most movies don't make me cry, but kill off a yellow lab, and I am toast. I believe at some point I was screaming, "But I don't want Gabby to die!" and blowing snot bubbles with my nose. Thank goodness I watched that one alone.
I doubt I'll ever read the book; I'm sure it's a lot better than the movie, and I'm sure it's a lot more in depth than the movie, and therefore, I'm sure it's a lot more depressing. I just can't handle the loss of a beloved pet. Have you ever read Lovely Bones?* I was mostly unmoved throughout the novel (about child abuse, rape, death, murder, etc.), but there is a scene when the main character is in heaven, and the family dog suddenly comes running up to her after its death. I cried like a baby when I read that part.
Anyway, I also watched Dream House today. I've been wanting to see that movie for a while, and I finally got a chance today. I was really hoping to be scared, but it didn't deliver.. There was, I guess, a twist at the end, but it wasn't a great one. It wasn't horrible, but I'd been hoping for better, especially considering it had three big stars.
Have you seen any good movies lately?
*And I do mean "read." The movie was terrible, but the book was good.
