Stranger Than Fiction

December5

I just watched a fantastic movie. However I went into it expecting a mildly amusing movie that would just make good background noise while I worked on a project on my computer. Yet I was actually drawn into the movie and didn’t work on my project at all.

The movie was called Stranger Than Fiction and starred Will Ferrell. I know, the second I said who it starred your face made a weird little look. I mean sure you have seen a Will Ferrell movie that you couldn’t help but laugh at for the sheer stupidity that his characters portray. You remember chuckling a little when he got shot in the face with a tranquilizer gun or rolling your eyes at one of his outlandish stunts. However you have never sat and watched a Will Ferrell movie that you were captivated by.

I was in the same boat. I don’t think I ever went to the theater to see a movie that starred Will Ferrell and I probably didn’t pay to watch the ones I did see. This my friends is probably the very reason that I missed out on the 2006 movie Stranger Than Fiction.

To me I will put this in a category with Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. No, the story has nothing in common, but they were both excellent movies made starring actors that were known for being a certain kind of funny.

Perhaps there is real depths to all the people we typecast. Not just the actors, but everybody. So even though it has nothing to do with this movie I would like to dedicate a day to people doing what they are actually good at and what they enjoy instead of what they are programmed to do.

So I am marking my Google Calendar (which syncs with all my other organizers) down for “Do What You Enjoy Day”. I would like to encourage all of you to also write this down in your calendars and then every year in Winter when you are stressed out, cold and miserable you will have a day to just do whatever you enjoy. A day to totally change your focus, if even for that day. No worries, no problems. Only life and the enjoyment of it.

    The lure of that movie for me was Emma Thompson, I usually like any movie she's in. And I usally like the movies by the actors who normally play over-the-top idiots (Jim Carrey, as an example) when they're not playing their patented character, like The Truman Show, even Liar! Liar! and Bruce Almighty. I don't mind the over-the-top, but the stupidity annoys the shit outta me... As for Will Farrell, I can only watch like 15 minutes of him being Ricky Bobby or the like before it starts feeling like I'm wasting actual time... Him and Jim Carrey are decent actors when they aren't relying on fart jokes and prat falls.

    Anyway, all that is just to say that I agree. I liked this movie, too. I liked the story and the acting was decent... And it'e the first movie where I actually thought, "y'know, Maggie Gyllenhaal is actually pretty hot". (o: And yes, I have seen secretary and thought it was a very good movie, but I thought she was sexier in this one...
  • Yeah, she grew into a nice submissive dominate in that movie.

    That is a good movie. I want Maggie Gyllenhaal. She needs to rub on me. Watch The Secretary again. I am gonna.
