No Strings Attached

broderic on February 5, 2011

If you have to see a movie with Natalie Portman doing the dirty, make it No Strings Attached rather than Black Swan. She enjoys the sex much better in No Strings Attached. You will enjoy her too as this movie gives you a chance to catch multiple glimpses of Natalie Portman skin. Not that I was looking.

In No Strings Attached, Portman plays the man role in a rom-com. She’s the one who is non-committal. Ashton Kutcher plays the girl role smitten from the beginning waiting for the right man to commit. They make for a refreshing rom-com couple. Ivan Reitman directs a script written by Elizabeth Meriwether, a woman, and he comes back with a solid effort than makes you forget his past couple of stinkers. It was the script that makes the movie.

I laughed throughout. I almost cried, but knew that this was where it was going to end. I wanted to see these two get together because I was rooting for love. I always root for love, but I don’t mind all the fun sex that lead them to love.

It’s deserving of a much higher ranking.

3 of 5 stars.

Sex! Plain old getting down and dirty with the one you love. Knocking boots. Slapping skins. Zuma zum zum zoom and a boom boom. The bump and grind. Yeah, making the beast with two backs.

Do it with the one you love.

Throw Away All the Pain that I’m Living

Crushes, most of the time infatuation, don’t amount to much. They happen, but if you keep the object of your affection at arms length you, they eventually fade. You’re left with only pleasant memories and perhaps a dream of what could’ve been.

We are in grade school but I don’t think it is grade school. I get to class and she’s the only one in there. It is the last day of school. We graduate today. It’s just me and her in the classroom.

I make a move. I kiss her. She kisses me back. I’m looking into her face. She is smiling. I don’t want this to end. I kiss her again and again. I feel her up. We make love. I can’t believe we are doing this. She is my girlfriend because she told me.

We got to go home as we’ve graduated.

Wait! Your phone number! She’s already sent it to my phone. Yup, there’s her text on my flip phone.

I head to the locker room. I say farewell to a couple of people. Most importantly I say farewell to my buddy, JH, Keep in touch, bro!

The girls are giggling by their lockers. My girlfriend and her girlfriends. I can’t wait to see her later…

This was a dream I had the night before. I wasn’t going to post it, but it falls right into the theme this week. I matched it with today’s music break.

Sometimes people with a missing limb need to scratch the missing limb

I finally put the VW back on the road. A week before the Hawaiian Vacation, it threw coolant warning lights on the dash, which turned out to be a leak in the cooling system. I put her in the garage and left her until this month. The snow forecasts forced me to get her fixed. I trust her tires more than the ones on the Cooper S. Hers are newer, less wear, and more all weather types.This morning, as I started her up to get to work, I placed my hand on the light switch. I stopped by the deli to get breakfast, and when I started her again, I placed my hand on the light switch. Where does this behavior come from?I know I do this all the time. Subconsciously, I place my hand on the switch. At times, I flip the switch on. I do this most every time I start her up. Even when I know I do this, I can't help it. I do this in the Cooper S as well. There is no switch on the dash for the lights, so I am reaching for air. Perhaps, writing about it will stop this behavior.

17.5.2.1

I’ve got a little label highjacking to do. Sorry, seed, but it’s taking you too long to get through 17.5 hotties. Perhaps that’s why you don’t get too many readers. You take years to post something. Just do it. Let me add my hotties to the list.

My take on hotties is that they should just be plain gorgeous. A beauty that makes you stop dead in your tracks and thank the deity for the wonderful world he made. So when I was watching The Town, the actress playing Claire made me thank kami-sama for this wonderful world in which Rebecca Hall lives.

Now if you watched The Town you would’ve seen her first as the hostage. She was dressed as an OL and in that dark suit with the white blouse, she looked every bit a hottie. Something about OLs just boils my potatoes.

As the movie continues, she becomes more adorable. You find out that she’s pretty tall. And you can just about make out the freckles on her face. Then you think back and remember her as an OL, and you continue the cycle. One thing you may not know from watching The Town is that Ms. Hall is English.

She’s also been a few more movies such as Vicki Christina Barcelona and The Prestige. I’ve not seen the former, and I don’t remember her in the latter. Perhaps she should be in the next ScarJo movie, if ScarJo ever makes another movie. If she is, I know I wouldn’t be looking at ScarJo.

One Reason

Hold onto your love, because it is capricious. At times, get yourself a receipt to ensure that you’ve got the one you love and to return the one you love back if all goes bad. But, still, hold onto the one you love.

Ever Since the Fire Went Out

February, the month of Eros. St. Valentine’s day is smacked dab in the middle of it. All the malls are decked in red and pink hearts. All the singles ladies looking for the single men. All the married men looking out for their ladies. You’ve got your honey, too, don’t you?

Well, hold them tight. They are dear and precious. No matter what they’ll see you through. You can be bad. You can be good. You can be crazy. You can be boring. Your love will always stand by your side. That’s what love is.

Me? I’m going to Jackson.
