"the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return"

I wish that I had some deep and meaningful topic to write about right now, but I don't.  My brain is way too fried from this long and stressful week anyways.  So I am going to steal a topic some a blog that I like to creep on, and write about my two favorite movies of all time: Moulin Rouge and Pirates of the Caribbean. 

I love the story of my first viewing of Moulin Rouge.  I don't remember exactly how old I was, but I want to say I was around twelve years old.  My family and I were at the Wisconsin cottage and Emily Pojman had the movie, saying that it was one of her favorites.  I was so uncomfortable and embarrassed as I watched the awkward, misunderstanding, seduction scene between Satine and Christian. 

Moulin Rouge is one of those movies where the first time that you watch it (and possibly even the second time, and the third time too) you say to yourself What the hell am I watching right now?! However, with each viewing of the movie, I fell more and more in love with the catchy songs, the sexy voice of Ewan McGregor, and the gripping story line of the romance between an aspiring young English writer and a beautiful courtesan who is dying to escape her unsatisfactory life.  Wow, and now I sound like a movie critic...

My other favorite movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, never gets old.  For starters, Johnny Depp is my favorite actor of all time.  Jack Sparrow is definitely my favorite character that he plays.  He makes such a sexy and witty pirate.  I also love Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom.  English accents are so awesome.  The second and third movie of the series (what do you call it for movies? Series is books. Oh well.)  Aren't nearly as good as the first one.  The movies started getting way too supernatural after a while.  

This has been a somewhat pointless post, but I haven't written for a while, so I figured that I should.
