Finally the day came that I got to see He's Just Not That Into You. You know me, so this shouldn't surprise you, right?
John, Dave, Katie and I all went yesterday afternoon and I loved every second of it. I definitely think that single people and those in a relationship will see it as two different movies. As a single person, you would find it depressing because it's true and someone like me found it funny because it was true.
Not only was it completely entertaining but everyone looked great too. I'm talking make-up, hair, wardrobe, everything.
And I didn't even totally hate ScarJo in this either. I know she's a total babe but I've just never been a fan of her acting skills. And then my boyfriend Woody had to go discovering her as his new muse and that just pissed me off because usually people with some decent acting chops are in his movies, not retards. Sorry, I shouldn't use that word. And being a bad actor doesn't make you disabled.
Like, take Matchpoint for instance. She was it's downfall for me. It was a good film but she, for me, was the one flaw in it. When I watched it I just kept thinking that anyone would have been better than her in it. Then came Scoop. I was not buying her as the neurotic Woody Allen character. It irritated me to no end that she was playing that part. But then Vicky Cristina Barcelona came out and I loved it and not even ScarJo could take away from it.
So maybe I'm warming up to her as an actor just a tiny bit. That doesn't mean I think she's good, it just means I must be getting used to her and feel like I'm just going to have to accept that she's in movies and isn't going anywhere.
It's weird how some really bad actors get by just because they're so good looking.
The bad actor talk seems like a good segue to Ben Affleck. I think I like him. I don't know if he's good or not but I used to like him, then I didn't and now I'm back in. Did you see Gone Baby Gone? Great movie and it had double Affleck! Directed by Ben, starring Casey. So that and the fact that he has the coolest, happiest baby and a low key life with his baby momma has me singing a different tune about him.
Are you asking yourself when this blog turned into a celebrity blog? Yeah, me too. I'd apologize if I didn't think it was AWESOME.

you know, if we're talking afflecks.
and isn't scarjo married to ryan reynolds? he comes into my work. he's a tad bit douche-y.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Casey, I mean what's not to like?
And she is married to Ryan Reynolds who was great in Definitely, Maybe, ha! You can borrow it from me sometime if you want... yes I own it.
Too bad he's a douche.
Ahh, best kind of blog post.
I found "He's Just Not That Into You" pleasant. It was a nice way to pass the time.
But man, it sure was pretty. I spent the entire time staring at Ginnifer Goodwin's eye makeup and wondering what it is. I even googled it when I got home. Alas, no luck.
Ginnifer Goodwin looked fantastic throughout. Her hair and make-up were great as well as her outfits.
If I remember correctly, she was often doing a kinda smoky purplish eye. You could probably get a similar effect with any of these colours from MAC: Shale, Nocturnelle, or Beauty Marked.
You'd look great in some of those purple-y colours and a colour I love to go with them: Nylon. Just chuck a bit of one of the purple-y colours on the outer corner and into the crease a bit. Then swipe some Nylon on the inner corner and ball of the eye. Blend a bit and you'll look ravishing! Oh! And add a bit of liner. You could use a slanted brush and then you can use the darker shadow as the liner too.
Thanks Amanda!
I have been makeup crazy lately.
