Last night I watched "Shakespeare In Love" and it left me feeling in the mood to write something comical. If you must know I ate ice cream with a hot brownie while watching it.
Today I watched Kika and it left me feeling upset behind the death of a sleazy character. If you must know I went through three bottled waters while watching it.
Last night I (regrettably) watched THE GLEE PROJECT (sigh) and it left me feeling stupid for not realizing that Ryan Murphy was, from the beginning, going to choose the contestant he'd most like to fuck. If you must know I ate Wasabi dry roasted edamame and dried apricots while watching it.
Last night I watched Knowing and it left me feeling empty, an intriguing premise ruined by bad dialogue and awful plotting. Remember when Nicolas Cage was doing exciting things as an actor? I wish he'd pick his projects better. If you must know, I didn't eat anything, but I did enjoy I nice hot cup of tea.
Last night I watched Terms of Endearment and it left me feeling teary/worried I have cancer/sad the Olympics are over (young Jeff Daniels kept reminding me of Epke Zonderland- he doesn't even look that much like him, I'm in serious withdrawal). If you must know, I ate some pita chips (yay free samples!) while watching it.
Last night I watched Moneyball and it left me feeling that Brad Pitt is really the son of Robert Redford, and that Jonah Hill and a hundred other so-so actors can really show their chops when given the right material. I ate nothing because it was right before bed, but wished I had some cracker jack.
Last night I watched The Trip in honor of Steve Braun's birthday and it left me feeling happy/sad and swept away in the doomed romance of the lead couple . If you must know I ate a DQ blizzard while watching it.
Last night, I watched 'Best In Show', which left me feeling very satisfied, since I was showing to a a girlfriend who'd never seen it and she laughed her ass off. If you must know, I ate Mongolian beef while watching it.
Last night I also watched the finale of THE GLEE PROJECT (and some leftover Olympics) and it left me feeling jaded/justified since the guy I knew would win, well, did. And I think I drank some cheap wine and ate some cheap pizza. ;-)
Last night I watched "Lust, Caution" and it left me feeling sexually repressed.l. If you must know I ate a bowl of Reese's Puffs while watching it.
Last night I watched My Son, My Son What Have Ye Done and it left me feeling that if you assemble a cast with that much collective crazy you will seem like a parody of a Herzog movie even if you are a Herzog movie. If you must know I ate Lindor chocolates while watching it.
Last night I watched Bunheads and it left me feeling all giggly and optimistic of the future. If you must know I ate nasi kandar bought from Ramadan stall while watching it.
Last night I watched Bunheads and it left me feeling all giggly and optimistic of the future. If you must know I ate nasi kandar bought from Ramadan stall while watching it.
Last night I watched "Captain America" and it left me feeling bored. If you must know I ate pork rinds, spaghetti, ice cream and drank a beer while watching it. (This makes me sound straight but I'm so gay).
Last night I watched The Dark Knight Rises and it left me feeling speechless, I couldn't stop thinking about the situation in Mexico, right now we have a Bane, we live in Gotham City... but we don't have a Batman or a Catwoman. If you must know I ate tamarind covered pineapple while watching it.
Last night I watched "Carnage" and it left me feeling as dissatisfied as I knew I would be. Foster was so wrong for the role. If you must know I ate nothing while watching it (not the best movie to eat with).
Last night I watched Capote and it left me feeling in the mood for several gin and tonics . If you must know I ate a PB&J while watching it (yay being a broke grad student).
Last night I watched Mental, starring Toni Collette and it left me feeling sad about the state of Australian comedy, it was atrocious . If you must know I ate a whole packet of peanut M&M's while watching it.
Last night I watched the first half of "Lawrence of Arabia" and it left me feeling so engrossed that I barely even registered that there are no women in it. If you must know, I ate microwave popcorn and chocolate chip cookies while watching it.
Last night I watched Touch of Evil for the very first time and it left me feeling very satisfied with it, I was not dissapointed at all even if I had high expectations. If you must know I ate fajitas while watching it.
Park & Rec. & it left me feel happy, smart & moved ('cause it's the smartest show "EVER") & yes I was eating chips (what else do you eat when you watch t.v.?...popcorn is for movies...)
Last night I watched Margaret and it left me feeling revitalized, but upset by its continually great moments but awful pacing. If you must know I ate nothing while watching it, but sipped on some wine. Which probably didn't help the pacing issues...
Last night I watched No and it left me feeling intrigued and curious about the history of Chile. Although, I really didn't like the cheap visual quality of the film. If you must know I ate nothing, but the guy next to me ate hot chips from Nandos. I hate the lingering smell that hot fast food leaves in a cinema.
(Kat, where did you watch "No" in a place with a Nando's? Is it screening somewhere in the States? And Chilean history is very fascinating if sad.)
Last night I watched A Beautiful Mind and it left me feeling conflicted; I liked it until it overstayed its welcome with the overwrought drama. If you must know I ate Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream while watching it.
Last night I watched 'The Odd Life Of Timothy Green' at an early screening, and it left me feeling wistful because the movie had all of the ingredients to be a GREAT family film, but did not realize its potential. If you must know, I ate nothing while watching it (I usually have Dibs, but I was running late and there was a long line at the concession stand).
Last night I watched The Double Life of Veronique for the first time and it left me feeling sleepy but that was mostly my fault since I watched it very late but it didn't help the movie was pretty hazy and confusing. If you must know I drank a smoothie while watching it.
Last night I watched Objectified and it left me feeling that some of the "industrial design" I surround myself with could be improved upon yet my budget for such items is grossly inadequate. (Happily, my penchant for Muji and aspirations towards Apple ownership were confirmed as stylish.) If you must know, I ate a bowl of late-night cereal (the best kind) and a bit of Lindt "Dark Chocolate with a Touch of Sea Salt" while watching it.
Hi Evan, I'm in Melbourne, Australia, and No was screening as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival. We also have a chain of Nando's here. Sorry to get your hopes up! Sony Pictures Classics has the US rights so you'll probably get it later this year. I also forgot to mention that it left me feeling as if I would never get its catchy advertising jingle out of my head. It's my new ear-worm tune.
JoFo I am bummed to hear that about Mental. I had high hopes for that.
Last night I watched Weekend and it left feeling exhilarated but in tears. If you must know I ate a light dinner while watching it, but had to paused the movie cause it required all my attention. Once I finished dinner I inmersed myself in it. Wonderful film. It still haunts me a day after, which is not often the case.
Peggy Sue -- fried hamster? Thematic!
Seisgrados -- i do that too. If a movie is absolutely absorbing (and i haven't seen it before) I have to race through the eating part and then get on with it. I also can't eat during MAD MEN.
D Austin -- i raise a glass of water in your honor and the honor of broke grad students everywhere.
Last night I re-watched an episode of Glee from the first season, and it left me feeling sad that the show isn't the same. To be honest, I ate birthday cake Oreos while I watched it.
Last night I watched Man with a Movie Camera and it left me feeling disappointed; all of the innovative camera and filming techniques on display were undoubtedly impressive, however the lack of narrative left me feeling incredibly bored. If you must know I ate nothing while watching it; I don't like to eat while watching movies because the food always distracts me.
Last night I watched Margin Call and it left me feeling really sad but also awed of how great Wall Street movies can be if they're done right... especially with a cast that attractive wearing suits the entire time. If you must know I ate strawberries while watching it.
Last night I watched "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and it left me feeling nostalgic for a time when Jude Law was hot and Matt Damon wasn't boring us with his politics. If you must know I ate my boyfriend while watching it.
Last night I watched The Rules of the Games and it left me feeling flabbergasted. If you must know I ate chocolate pudding while watching it.
Last night I watched The Deep Blue Sea and it left me feeling sad that Rachel Weisz doesn't have a better film career. If you must know I ate, er, drank tea while watching it.
Joe -- your boyfriend surely approved of the Talented Mr Ripley watch, then.
Last night I watched the Yankees beat the Rangers...sorry lol.
Last night I watched "Brokeback Mountain" and it left me feeling yearning, devastated and rather inconsolable. If you must know I ate takeout Indian food and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc while watching it.
