Up In The Air

[giggirl]

I went to Beckenham Odeon last night with one of my bitches and we saw this wonderful film. We knew nothing about the movie at all and it was chosen purely on the premise that we felt like laying back for an hour and a half and wondering what it might be like to kiss George Clooney on the mouth.

It's a marvellous film and it was a pleasant surprise to see a Hollywood film that doesn't fit neatly into a genre. And it didn't have a Hollywood ending to boot - how rare is that? The female leads were not cast from models central which was a bonus - they were just good actors. The wedding scenes in particular warmed my heart - the characters and the acting felt very real. The plot calls for a lot of scenes where characacters are being laid off work and that wasn't easy viewing because obviously behind every lay-off there is a a family and hardship to come. Some very well observed moments and some very funny moments. Did I mention George? I don't like to go on but he gets better and better with age and I most definitely would.

Recommended. Go see.

Lol, my friend said that this was a good film. I want to go and see it, maybe I should round up my bitches!

I also want to see Travolta in 'From Paris with Love'. Hmmn, he's another one who has got hotter with the passing years.

Drool!

Dearest Daizie,

Some of your posts border on the surreal to me. Truly. Keep it up.

Well i've had a boring Sunday . Still go to bed dreaming of cheese wire tho .

[karter]

giggirl, this is a good movie indeed, did not know what it was about either and when George went to knock on on that womans door i knew what would happen. typical...(tu)

[giggirl]

Yes me too Karter - as soon as he got out of the car and started running towards the house I knew exactly what was going to happen. That was a turning point in the movie because up until then I'd pigion-holed it as a rom-com because the chemistry between the two leads was all sexed-up. So when the door opened I was thinking "WTF - what sort of movie is this?". I guess it's a movie about a man who wants to make changes?

[daizie]

So is there sex or not ?

[giggirl]

Yes Daizie there is sex. You get to see George bathing in the afterglow. He looks mighty fine.

[GSJ57]

Saw the movie yesterday .... George did indeed look mighty fine............*sighs*

[daizie]

You dont reckon any of that could have been a body double ? He is almost 50 . Not that im picky .

[karter]

GG, or a man who like to sack people, yeah make changes. He looks pretty trim there daizie, no doubles in this movies, some good one liners aswell.

Hey there don't give too much of the plot away please... I want to see it (clooney is a fine actor though his afterglow doesn't interest me, before you ask) x

[Roll Deep]

A likely story, Brum.

Not really Gigsy,

you wanted to know what it would be like to throw him to the ground and have your wicked way,

thus leaving a dried husk of a spent male.........

I guess that's what women in their prime think?
