He immediately asks her out, but she refuses, for the very understandable reason that she doesn’t want to go out with him.
#THE NOTEBOOK MOVIE MOVIE#
I’ll do a broader plot rundown in a moment, but the movie opens with the main character Noah (Ryan Gosling) briefly running into his love interest, Allie (Rachel McAdams), at a fair. I was traveling that day and managed to catch the first 10–15 minutes of The Notebook in an airport, and what I saw … kind of weirded me out.
#THE NOTEBOOK MOVIE SERIES#
I’d originally planned on beginning this series of articles at the chronological beginning, with 1999’s Message in a Bottle (stay tuned) but as long as I’m here, I might as well open with the movie that brought me to the party, because the impetus to write these articles came a couple months ago, on Valentine’s Day. Since no one else is doing it, I might as well. Thus begins my dissertation on white people kissing in the rain. The subject of this article, the movies based on Nicolas Sparks’ books, have quietly managed to gross over 900 million dollars without anyone really noticing or feeling like picking them apart. I mean, the Transformers film series may be some of the worst movies ever filmed, but they have collectively grossed 3.7 Billion dollars, so I think they merit some analysis.īut that’s not what I’m doing today, because while the Transformers series has grossed 3.7 Billion dollars, it’s done so loudly and in front of everyone. There’s this great interview with Werner Herzog where he says that the poet, the musician, the filmmaker, must not avert their eyes from what is popular, no matter how personally distasteful they find it, and that’s advice I’ve taken to heart. The second kind of bad that fascinates me is stuff that’s bad but is also monstrously successful. My love for The Room is strong enough that my tumblr is named after it, but it’s been picked over so many times that there’s not much left for me to say. Equally pointless at that point is my analysis. The list of strangely bad movies has been codified, rewritten, and codified again so regularly that me bringing up their titles is probably pointless.
There are two types of bad media-in particular bad movies-that fascinate me, or at least fascinate me enough for me to want to examine them.
