Mmmagic


Yes, it was quite a delectable treat. I'm glad it met my expectations, I would hate to have Ed Norton and the idea of magic disappoint. The way it was shot made it seem all dark and ominous but the storyline itself was rather sweet. Gosh, I just love the juxtaposition. Although given the title, it was a tad predictable, namely the ending. But, that's what truly appeals (or at least to me). My fairytale-loving self derived estatic pleasure from witnessing the classic elements of boy and girl falling in love, social-class boundaries, castles, horses and MAGIC mesh together in an expected but comforting way. Now, I can't wait for "The Prestige" to come out. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, mmm. Maybe, Hollywood is setting up a new trend of hot actors playing magicians. Nice (even Gob from "Arrested Development" is kinda cute in that clueless and selfish manner of his). Maybe then magic as a hobby will appear less geeky to the general public. I recall joining 'Magic Club' at NYU in freshmen year. You may ask, "what possessed you to exhibit such odd behaviour?" Well, the culprit was that fairytale-loving self again, it seemed to want to 'spread the love' or some other equally sincere and cheesy reason. Alas, there was some mocking and ridicule among friends.

Current frame of mind:
- After that long entry I still have 7 more hours of work to go?! *Agog face* Kill me now.
