Love in a time of Cholera. it was horrible for the following reasons:
1. Really REALLY awkward sex scenes, and theres A LOT of them. Now, i usually have no problem with sex scenes, they dont really bother me at all. but these were just AWKWARD. like,this guy lickes his fingers and then touches her boob, and theres another one where Florentino is having sex with this girl, and the cat jumps off the table and scratches his butt. Now, i knew there would be a lot of sex, because in the book thats the only way he could forget about her, so he slept with 623 women... and there are a few sex scenes in the book, but they were never THAT awkward! they were so beautifully written. dang.
2. HORRIBLE dialog! i mean, the book is mostly written as a narrative, so... theres not a lot of dialog in the book, but really, REALLY? there wasnt much narration in the movie so it was just a bunch of awkward dialog. i know i'm saying awkward a lot but that word is so fitting.
3. They made all the men in the movie creepy! every last one of them. they made the main character, Florentino, look like a creepy weirdo stalker, who evoked no sympathy whatsoever.
4. The lead woman they chose was unconvincing as Fermina. Fermina is supposed to be this strong willed, beautiful woman who all these men covet and what not, and she was so plain looking, and weak. it sucked.
so yeah. read the book. the book is good. the movie= two thumbs down.

AND when i came out of the theatre, someone had written "i (heart) Ponn Pussy" on my back window. it was quite humorous, mostly because i think they were trying to spell the word pawn, but instead spelled it 'Ponn.' i'm not even quite sure what they meant, did they mean i was a pimp? because thats sort of a compliment, right? but somehow i dont think they were trying to compliment me. i was confused. I thought it might be andrew at first because we put vasiline on his door handles and wrote "Sucka" across his windsheild using cheerios and vasaline (which he so smartly decided to turn his windsheild wipers on, which only spread the vasiline across his entire windsheild). but i doubt he would write the word pussy, and i have a feeling i have a lot more coming to me than just some writing in dirt. i will be sure to keep you updated on that.
