To hell with this town...

I think cute guys are the biggest weakness for girls....n Orlando Bloom was mine when i picked up this DVD from the stand !! my simple logic was how can a movie be that bad if in lieu of it I would have 123 min to oogle at him...yes i rented Elizabethtown; with a smile on my face appreciating myself for the logic i hv applied..."You hv nothing to loose rashmee...!!" i thought...

These 123min turned out b the biggest torture of this season...

I would say its one of the movies scripted when th director(or who ever scripts movies) was sitting on the toilet seat...nothing s coming out, life s all blocked, so let this story come out...it stinks big time!!
The story is about this guy..drew(my sweetheart orlando bloom) who is a big designer n came up with some shoe design which had major investment on it and which turns out to be a fiasco..th company loses 1 billion dollar and he loses his job, reputation, GF and his dad(no his dad's death s not related to th shoe)

He goes to this town where his dad was staying..Elizabethtown....to cremate him(in his blue suit...sum crap link)...n pay attention to the word cremate becoz later in th movie ur patience is tested in sum scenes where they r deciding over cremation n burial...i mean outrageous...!!

He meets this talkative air-hostess(kristen dunst)..i m sure sh wud b shabbiest looking air-hostess in american airways(thats where she works)...who is line-marofying him(atleast i felt so ;-))...th conversation they hv s utter crap..n by that time I realized that my "logic" was utter crap too !!

sum reference to highway 60B..the town ppl...orlando screeching...an irritating kid, his dad in coffin...hotel room...sum marriage....Orlando's mom(u cant imagine Susan saradon doing all this)...everything is s painfully memorable...

he meets the air-hostess again...she s phsyco..has an imaginary BF...Ben...

In between story is all hush...hush...plz bear with me...remembering them is painful...

In the end he takes up this drive from this town to California(72 hrs if i remember correctly)...this phsyco girl gives her map for that..sum scrap book with illustrations on towns n places he will c...even cds for the mood n place he s in...its kind of sweet tht she made that book...bt still imagining her sitting n making that...ekks...

I was so wondering...how can they waste a talent like Orlando Bloom...how can Cameron Crowe, who made good movies like Jerry Maguire make a crap like this...this director has this habit of taking things too far...even in movie Jerry Maguire the scene where the player asks.."show me the money..." gets on to ur nerves...i think he needs to eat properly n stay away from spending so much time on toilet seats...

The things i liked in the movie...
# Orlando Bloom...my sweetheart.. :)
# Tap Dance by Susan Saradon
# songs in the CD given by Kirsten to th guy..they r beautiful !!

PLEDGE: I will not go for cute looking guys...ekks..i think its too much a pledge...i would never watch a movie just by seeing the face of the cute hero on th cover...

"I would say its one of the movies scripted when th director(or who ever scripts movies) was sitting on the toilet seat...nothing s coming out, life s all blocked, so let this story come out...it stinks big time!!

@catch22 - He s equally cool in this movie also, bt what can the poor guy do if the story, direction, script everything(except him) is wrong abt the movie!! He plays an American in the movie..n being a Brit with typical British accent...i think he has done a good job in acquiring american accent!!

Regarding the pledge, i wud hv never followed it anyways ;-D

@Dewaker - donno abt the toilet pot...bt story cudnt hv been any worse!!
