RE: Feeling Bad About Crypto?! Watch A Sad Movie! Seriously!
Yo Emmy, this article had me laughing my ass off!
The title is just hillarious, so that got me started. Reading it only made me laugh even more. But then I realized that at that exact moment (as I was scrolling through Steemit on my phone), that I was myself, literally, watching a really sad movie...that was getting worse by the minute. I just finished The Big Sick on Amazon and it was gut-wrenching (I got choked up more than once), but it started out so sweet! And I didn't even see it coming, at all. (Seriously though awesome movie.) And then I got to thinking that damn, I had to admit to myself...(oh no!) I really like sad movies too. aaahhhh! Could this really be happening to me? And yes, the realization sunk in further as I thought back to earlier this week as I watched the Incredible Jessica James, which had me in tears...of joy, lol. Seriously though I was a little teary. And then it hit me, one of my favorite movies pf all time is (damn, this really is happening)...Leaving Las Vegas with Nicholas Cage and Elizaebth Shoe...
And with this new awarenss, I'm going to learn how to see things a little differently from now on. So perhaps I'll have to reflect a little bit more on the subject and try to remember what other sad movies I've enjoyed, but my suspicion is that it's lot.
As for my favorites films 1) Waking Life 2) Silver Lining's Playbook 3) Style Wars 4) Blade Runner (original) 5) the Usual Suspects.
And on your list of favorite sad movies, Meet Joe Black is a really good one to.
Anyways thanks for the fun (and thought-provoking:) read, you gots style. ;)
I havent watched The Big Sick or the Incredible Jessica James, Im going to have to add those to my list to watch! Meet Joe Black is one of my favorite movies ever... I actually walked down the aisle to the soundtrack at my wedding, haha. When my Mother asked me where the song was from... I said "its from Meet Joe Black, when Anthony Hopkins dies at the end" She looked at me like I was insane...LOL
Big Sick was a great one. I never knew until the end of the movie that was really his and his wifes story.
Yea, I loved it. They had such great chemistry. :)
I think I was partly aware of it, because the description on Amazon mentions it. But it didn't really sink in until the credits at the end when they show his real wife's picture.
OMG, that's too much! :) I think your mother maybe right about you though... hehehe. My favorite scene from that is when they're in the hospital and he has a conversation with the woman in the wheel chair and he talks in that (perfectly delivered) island dialect, it's soooo good.
And have you seen Silver Linings? If not please add that to you list too! It kills me every time I watch it (ever after a dozen views:)
I havent seen Silver Linings, ill have to add that to my list too :) Yeah, thats one of my favorite Meet Joe Black scenes too!
