Gone Girl

I disappeared last night like Amy did. Except I told people I was leaving. I treated myself to an-always-nice movie at Ambler at 4:45 with all the old people. I love movies, especially seeing them in theaters, especially at Ambler. It's dark and big and it just transports me into the movie for 2 or 3 hours. The movies are a whole different world. With Gone Girl, there was so much creativity. First, who could ever think about writing that?? Second, how the heck could Amy think of that?? I guess I should have said at the beginning that this might contain spoilers but if you have been living under a rock for the past however long, shame on you for finding out via my blog. Anyway, I feel like everyone hated the characters. I did. I hate Nick and Flo, but Amy was absolutely amazing psychotically brilliant. So much work and dedication. Her plan (and backup plan) was so amazing. Yeah, she was manipulative and a little evil but she was super rational and sly and smart. The movie was pretty well-aligned with the book, although with some slight plot removals and addition of a kind of gruesome scene. It was creepy and interesting and just like I imagined. Please read the book and then see the movie. It's worth it.
