the JR ≥ SAGA∙∙∙∙LOG Life is RANDUMB and I'm Lost & Working on it...

So here is the Most Recent list of Movies viewed over the last 30 days or so. Being that this week is Holy Week in the Philippines and the JR is making his way out of the office (the plan was to catch up on sleep and put a little more depth behind this post, but plans changed and now beaches are involved) in under 90mins flat.

I’ll briefly explain about the topics (mostly self explanatory); also if any movie particularly caught the JR’s attention, commentary will follow below.

• Library Worthy- These will be watched on multiple occasions and probably never get old to the JR.
• One-timers- Unfortunately these aren’t repeat worthy to the JR. They are not considered to be bad movies, just movies that the JR couldn’t  watch over and over.
• On the Fence- These movies cause the JR to question his movie choices at times. Sometimes the movies are interesting, but he just can’t quantify his interest and sometimes the movies just catch him off guard.
• Throw Aways- Its very simple, Movies the JR would throw away and then ask for his Time back.

Movie Highlight: Last Chance Harvey
So this movie was one of the most recently viewed. The movie info can be found just by clicking the title. Normally the JR doesn’t get affected by movies all that often, but this one seemed to hit a nerve. The story made the JR really think about himself and about a recent topic of “Marriage”.

(it is recommended you go watch the movie or read the synopsis, so that you can understand what the JR will be talking about, clearly)

So the JR recently talked about marriage and how he doesn’t see it as part of the near future. The reasons only really resurfaced just recently. See in the JR’s Family Structure, doesn’t allow for 1st marriage success. Everyone in the JR’s family is currently working on their 2nd. Though it may seem differently, the JR was at one point a hopeless romantic (but currently extremely jaded, to no fault but his own). He thought he would find that girl and have the happy ending (so all hopeless romantics should believe). But the JR kept hitting the perverbial wall. He will rarely admit this, but the JR is somewhat scared of relationships (to an extent). He doesnt want to repeat what others have done before him. the JR believes that when you get married… thats it your done, no need to look for something better because you have the best(/corny… ya eat me). He found this in one girl, but that girl is to far removed from the JR’s currently reality that it might never work out (but he’s still reserving the spot).

Now the reason why the JR felt LAST CHANCE HARVEY hit a nerve was because he doesn’t want to end up like Harvey (well before the last 35mins of the movie). In a job that he was good at but had no passion for and divorced & far removed from his kids lives…to most it may appear that the JR has abandonment issues, but that is clearly not the case (as the JR hasnt had a “Serious Girlfriend” in over 4+ years, mostly TEMPs from many different agencies). His issues stem from the fact that he cant see a future in which he gets married and then after a few years doesn’t get divorced. And this is also a major reason why the JR has commitment issues, since he wouldn’t want to put the majority of girls through the ringer like that. But in any route, the future hasn’t been written and we still dont know where things are going…. so I guess its going to be a couple more movies in before we can start forecasting.

Other Notables:

• The Ramen Girl- Suprisingly Good Story, even though brittney murphy could have tried to learn japanese (instead of the whole time trying to speak english to japanese only folks).
• Dirty Sanchez- OMG (thats how wrong that movie was), this movie takes doing fucked up shit to your friends to the next level beyond the next level. I would recommend seeing it, if just for the shock factor. I felt wronged and molested after, but mildly amused also.
• Under THROW AWAYS… 3 Sequels all SUCKED ASS…. Franchises can be made or broken by a sequel… and these just done broke it.
• ONG BAK 2 – Currently tops on my martial arts flicks in the last couple of years (dialogue was meager, fight choreography was amazing)
• Marley and Me- I regret ever giving up my dog, but I know he is happier with the little girl that is taking care of him. I need to get a new dog (just cant seem to make that mental connection with one, yes the JR speaks dog [most women think he could be one at times]… since he’s an alpha)
• Bad Biology- This movie is hilarity. And thats all.
• Lie to Me (Fling) – the JR, when talking shop (relationship wise at least), finds this movie to be a great movie for reference. A must watch.

Well I guess its ’til next Wednesday, in which there might be more in depth reviewage of the movies to be viewed.

And the JR is gone…. To the Bitches… He means Beaches.
