Thessalie Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone ! I just saw the Bling Ring this afternoon, here's a topic to talk about it ! Actually I didn't really apreciate the movie. I didn't like how Katie Chang (: Rebecca - main character) plays, I thought it was not convincing, pale, annoying. Maybe it's also what her character is about, but feels like every single smile is faked, and she never has any "real energy" to me, even though she should because she's at the origin of everything. The general tone of the movie was weird - sometimes you expect fun, a great dynamic, and it's just slow and mysterious. I though that maybe Sophia Copolla is trying to make us see, though slow scenes, how much the situation is out of control and how bad this all is. But it didn't work for me, I felt bored sometimes (Katie Chang's parts aren't my favorites as she didn't convinced me). Even though I didn't like the movie, I thought Emma's performance was brilliant !!! Haha Maybe I'm biased...I didn't feel like Emma's character Nicki was a fake, I truly believed that she was quite stupid and genuine. It felt true to me, and every moment we could see Em on screen, it was funny. How about you ? What did you think of it ? Edited June 14, 2013 by Thessalie Link to post Share on other sites

Arie Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I guess so. I would totally do it but I am way too scared. I will have to keep searching for a movie buddie! Link to post Share on other sites
clarabelle Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I always see movies alone doesnt bother me one bit!! I have a son so when my hubby asks if I want some time off I'm practically running for the cinema before he has finished the sentence lol. So there is nothing creepy about it no one gives two hoots if you're alone! Link to post Share on other sites
cbmac12 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 ROFL!!!!!!!! In other words "I'm free, I'm free!!!!" Eh that was funny Clarabelle.Arie, see a matinee-hardly anyone goes because everyones at work Link to post Share on other sites
ling Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I used to not go to films alone, but now I find it to be relaxing and a nice activity when I don't have anyone to do anything with. I actually might be able to swing an invite to a pre-screening on Wednesday, so I hope I am done all my packing and stuff by then so I can go. Link to post Share on other sites
Arie Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Arie, see a matinee-hardly anyone goes because everyones at work That is actually such a good point and I totally forgot about matinees... because I work.... so that wont help me. But, I totally would got to a matinee alone! Link to post Share on other sites

~Imagination~ Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'd feel pathetic for myself going to the movies alone and I'd start thinking "nobody likes me, nobody needs me" bla bla, tho I love going SHOPPING alone! no one says "blah it sucks and this one is better" I will choose w.e. I like. Link to post Share on other sites
