Just finished watching "The Notebook" for the first time.

Dear Nicholas Sparks,

Thank you for making me cry with your stupid book that was made into a ridiculously romantic and wonderful movie.

I hate you,

Lill.

PS Death to ABC Family for running it end to end on a frickin' Sunday night.

Thank gawd for Jeff Dunham.

I hate NicSparks. D:

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Me too. I'd wish for him to DSIAF, but I'm afraid he would and someone would find this entry and I'd be toast. Xp

That book sucked...

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Haven't read it. But if it's anything like his other books I'd hate it, so why bother. Xp

Schmaltz makes me hurt.

I should better explain, I kinda liked the concept of the book, it was the way it was written that I didn't like. Basically it spent no time really building the story and over half the book talking about...

Spoiler:

... the day to day in the retirement community. And not even the good sad part of her condition and whatnot.

I still don't understand why I read the book. Like I wanted to use the title on something and was pissed that it was taken... but someone said I reminded them of Noah, so I guess I was curious at what she had meant by that, but after reading it, I ended up much more confused. lol... ah well...

At least it is a short book that you can get through relatively quickly if you do choose to read it.

one movie i have never seen, even though i have been told i need to, by a lot of men actually.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

I really don't believe that. Unless these are all guys who want girlfriends and are just saying that to seem sensitive.

Nice icon. Fringe?

[matthewrodney.livejournal.com]

yes it is fringe.

and no, the guys who told me both had girlfriends when they told me, and their girlfriends weren't around. one of the guys actually said he cried at the time. high school jock - cried at the notebook.

[matthewrodney.livejournal.com]

fringe is my newest obsession!

[edgarallen.livejournal.com]

I actually bought the dvd... Mainly because I read the book and thought wth?... But I only watched it once and never again.... My father on the other hand, loves the movie and watched it constantly....

[racontess.livejournal.com]

I didn't really like The Notebook; there are so many other romantic movies I'd rather see. The only parts I liked in it were James Marsden's. He is a god.

I second your thankfulness for Jeff Dunham. SILENCE, I KILL YOU! :}

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

EEEE! It's starting AGAIN! XD

I love this guy. When they announced he was doing a show in DC I made the mistake of calling my father (who also likes him) to see if he and Mom wanted to see Dunham's show and they took so long making up their mind the damn thing sold out. I KEEL THEM! XP

[racontess.livejournal.com]

I can't wait for his Christmas TV special. :DDD

[suzyx.livejournal.com]

LOL, I just read that book like 2 weeks ago. SO GOOD. I want a Noah. :( I know people hate it but I love the movie!

I'm watching Sunday Night Football. DIE DALLAS DIE.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

As much as I would like to WATCH THEM LOSE, I'm going to stick with Je-fahfah Dun-HAAAAAM! XD

Cheer on the other team for me, willya? ;)

[suzyx.livejournal.com]

Well, so far so good but you never know with the Redskins.

I shall cheer for you. ;)

[nadinetink.livejournal.com]

That movie made me bawl like a baby! DAMN YOU DELIGHTFULLY CUTE RYAN GOSLING AND YOUR AMAZINGLY PERFECT GIRL, RACHEL MCADAMS!

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! THEY ARE JUST SO SWEET! Ryan Gosling was so, so good, but James Garner! Omg! *cries*

My grandfather was a very smart man who succumbed to senile dementia and had lucid moments and it broke my grandmother's heart. I think if she could have, she could have died with him, but she lived a few years without him. She was so strong.

The story of how my grandparents met is ridiculously sweet as well. :)

[nadinetink.livejournal.com]

That scene in the nursing home kills me... When they're dancing and she blanks out again, and he breaks down... I'm going to cry just by remembering it!

[gahdzuks.livejournal.com]

Kara was watching it. I saw a scene and then had to leave. I don't really want to get dehydrated watching that damn movie. I can't escape it without killing a box of tissues first.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I hate watching it. I want Rachel MacAdams clothes. And her boyfriend.

Dammit. >:C

[loveweasleys04.livejournal.com]

Yeah so last time I watched that movie. I was on my bedrest and AWAY from my hubby *cries*. I don't know why I did that to myself.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

That was the movie equivalent of pouring lemon juice in a papercut. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? *hugs*

[susanbones111.livejournal.com]

I read "Message in a Bottle" and that was enough Nicholas Sparks for me. My sister gave me a second Nicholas Sparks book and I couldn't get past the first chapter.

I've never seen the movie "The Notebook".

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

I've read "The Walk" and the one about the firefighter... or was that last a Baldacci? No idea. I hated myself both times, but I always figure it's better to know thine enemy when it comes to vomit-inducing literature. Hell, I managed to get through Twilight, right?

The movie is only good if you are all cuddled up, your husband sedated so that he doesn't run the risk of either embarrassing himself by tearing up or giving up in disgust and pissing you off. You should have tissues, a pot of tea, chocolate, and when it's over do NOT ASK YOUR SIG OTH IF HE LOVES YOU AS MUCH AS NOAH LOVE ALI. Because that ways lie monsters. Trust me. Xp
