.walk.the.line.


i saw walk the line last thursday. y'all know that i don't listen to country music. so i had no background on johnny cash. i think that's what made me love the movie so much. the storyline was so rich. and the actors, joaquin and reese, played their roles perfectly. i can't imagine anyone else in this movie. their love story was so touching.

my favorite line in the movie was, 'marry me june...you're my best friend...' and it was so true. it was june and her family who got him clean, when everyone else abandoned him. so, so sweet. it's true, he did ask her to marry him on stage, but who knows if that line was verbatim. whatever it was, it fit. the way the movie was written and directed, made it all come together. there were so many other things that happened to cash in his life, so this was defo just a smidgen of it. it was framed perfectly for the hollywood audience.

i think i want to see it again...

but i have some other oscar worthy movies to watch...well, maybe not exactly oscar worthy, but entertaining... the family stone, munich, the constant gardener, pride and prejudice, the producers, syriana...i've already seen brokeback mountain and memoirs of a geisha. both good movies...

when the oscars roll around though, i'll be sad if reese and joaquin both are nominated and lose. it sucks that the oscars categories are for both dramatic and comedy together. stupid...

.boarding.update.
went up to granite peak this past weekend with richie and amy. good times. stayed at archie's parents' house, boarded yesterday, then drove home. it was a nice lil get-away. it also gave me some much needed boarding practice. have to get ready for tahoe! i don't know if i'll be any faster, but at least i have a bit more control and can get my toe edge...cross your fingers for me...
