I watched quite a few movies yesterday, but I'll only talk about two. First I watched Cruel Intentions (1999) with a friend. It was pretty interesting, but I found my intrigue waning when the movie decided to turn into a bit of a morbid romcom towards the end. I can kind of buy Sebastian growing attached to Annette rather quickly because those types of feelings are somewhat foreign to him, but I can't get over Annette being that easy. After having that Virgin Mary article published and making a point to have a boyfriend, even if he's backpacking through Europe, I just don't understand how she could have developed feelings for Sebastian, especially after being warned about him. The whole time, I found myself wondering why she wasn't even trying to play hard to get. She did in the initial meeting, but then other times, she just...totally went with things. I didn't get it. And I don't think they had enough screen time together to form this love they claimed to have, but I digress. I would have just been fine if the film stayed about these strange step-siblings that want to fuck the world. But for what it was, I liked it. Could deal without the "romance" though.
Watched The Road to El Dorado (2000) later that night and while it was good, I just kind of wish it had a different art style or if the male leads had more...? They did good with the comedic expressions on Chell, but why did the guys not get good cartoony faces at times? You know, it being an animated comedy, I would have liked that. But for what it was, it was pretty good. I think I would have liked it better as a kid though. The songs were rather forgettable, except for It's Tough to Be a God. That one's been stuck in my head all day and probably won't leave.
