dear john

i watched dear john today(dear john what was i thinking:)!!)....let me back track and explain how i found myself in a screening room with people sniffling all around me to a nicholas sparks storyline, soft music, images of fields of wheat and horses(yes horses).....so we are a group of three friends here in boston...every friday we hang out....which essentially involves eating out and watching a movie or hanging out in a pub.....we have a democracy system...as we are tangentially different people.....we have varied tastes as far as movies go and hence every friday a decent amount of time is spent in reaching common ground in finding a movie that we would all watch.....some weekends its a no brainer as we all want to watch the same thing....like last weekend we all wanted to see edge of darkness.....mel gibson's new movie.....some weekends like this one we keep going back and forth about which movie to watch....i wanted to watch ishqiya....v wanted to watch from paris with love and b wanted to watch....dear john....we tried a couple of places for ishqiya....that didnt pan out....running out of time and famished we decided finally on the nearest eating place(read...your friendly neighbourhood chipotle)....and dear john

anyways....the storyline is a bit loose...channing tatum plays john, a us army special forces soldier on holiday....he meets amanda seyfried's character in a chance meeting at a wharf.....then there is chemistry...mush....seperation....mush....letters.....mush....tears....estrangement.....meeting again....mush....seperation again....mush....happy ending....hmmm i think i am missing something.....oh yea....mush.....(believe me that was the movie)........channing tatum wears an amazingly expression less face....amanda seyfried plays the nice simple girl....i thought she did a decent role....the autistic father seemed a bit unconvincing in his role.....i should just stop writing(just shoot me)....watch the movie for that happy minty puppy love feeling:)....can watch once kinds....

saving grace....jp licks amazing chocolate brownie ice cream(one of the flavors of the month) with blueberries....(fact: ice cream tastes amazing at sub zero temperatures)...and beck in the background singing soy un perdedor:)....and the long ride home.....friday ends...piece out...

Sparks is an amazing writer and he surprises his readers in each of his books. I have read the book and it was a story beautifully written - can never never forget the ending of the story ..
