'The Holiday'.

caught a few paragraphs that i felt was nice, in its own strange way.

"Turned out he wasn't in love with me like I thought. What I'm trying to say is, I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible, and how it can ache in place that you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get or gyms you join or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends, you still go to bed every night going over ever detail, and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell, for that brief moment, you could think that you were that happy?

And after all that, however long that may be, you'll go somewhere new and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again, and little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade."

"You broke my heart, and you acted like somehow it was my fault, my misunderstanding, and I was too in love with you to be mad with you, so I just punished myself for years!"

oh, and turns out, people out there - The Holiday ain't that bad a film. in fact, it's actually quite good, and quite enjoyable. it just needs someone with enough emotional capacity to enjoy, and understand the film. it was rated 4 out of 5. not bad, i would think.

watched it and thought it was bad? well, your loss.
