Misc. and Becoming Jane

Well, I guess, I don't really have a whole lot to blog about. The weather has been really, REALLY nice. So nice, that it's been almost unnatural.

Hmm...I'm taking 2 tests tomorrow--one for history and one for biology. Then Thursday, I am taking a test for algebra 2. AHHHHH!!! Crazy. After I'm done with this post, I'm going to go study so maybe I should make this post REALLY long. LOL (I'll try to hold back.)

Ooh! I just thought of something to blog about. I've been wanting to see the movie called "Becoming Jane", starring Anne Hathaway (as young Jane Austen) and James McAvoy (as her Irish love interest). The story sounded kind of interesting, I guess, but I must admit that the true reason for wanting to see it was so I could see James McAvoy (he also played Mr. Tumnus--with some kind of fake nose thing and furry legs LOL).

[Side note: though, you may not care, I have lost that loving feeling with Anne Hathaway. I loved her in Princess Diaries. I somehow felt akin with her character. It was wonderful to have an actress who wasn't doing, well, slutty stuff and cussing and all that. Well, somehow I forgot to realize that the only movie I had seen her in was a Disney movie. After seeing the Devil Wears Prada, which was a pretty good movie, I have lost any respect I thought I had for her. That was the first movie where she cussed & her character was shacking up with her boyfriend. So...well, I guess, I just don't like her now and I find her annoying. Maybe there's not exactly any rational reason why but it's true. (I also, despised the sequel to Princess Diaries. :P)]

So here's the plot for "Becoming Jane" from IMDB.com

"A biographical portrait of a pre-fame Jane Austen and her romance with a young Irishman."

That's pretty deep right there. LOL I would have gotten the "full" synopsis but it said it had spoilers.

*****Spoiler Alert (well, kind of)******

Well, I watched a couple videos about the movie on Youtube and a couple trailers. Apparently, the romance never worked out between the two (probably because the guy felt pressured to marry someone wealthier). For me, that still doesn't justify it. 1. What a non-nice retard! [just shows you how smart I am. LOL] 2. Why would I want to see a movie about a romance where the two lovebirds don't end up staying together because one of them decided to marry someone they DIDN'T love? It's...retarded.

Also, in one of the videos I saw that was an interview with the James McAvoy, he said that Jane Austen had the letters burned that were sent to her by the guy and when she was about to die, she asked that all the others would be burned, too. On the guy's death bed, he was asked, who his true love [oh, this is just WONDERFUL] was. He said, "Jane Austen--in a boyish way." When the people asked James why the Irishman would say "in a boyish way", James replied, "probably because he didn't want to offend his wife."

Well, YEAH!

What a retard!? How do you think the wife felt? Can you imagine being married by a guy just for you money when he loved someone else? You had to spend most of your life with a guy who didn't consider you his true love? How terrible would that have been? [It did give me a wonderful story idea, though...] I told my Mom that and she said, "a 2nd-rate wife." Geez!

Well, I just didn't like that. I probably will still want to see Becoming Jane [though, I know it's retarded without even seeing it], if nothing else but for the lovely costumes and to see James in a top hat. LOL

Anyways, gotta go study,
