Heath Ledger Film Festival - Saturday Events

I just got finished. What a cute film! And to think I might not have watched it if Heath wasn't in it!
Did anyone else notice all the 'Ennisisms' in his interactions with Julia? The narrowing eyes and turning away, and his facial expressions when they were arguing? Holy mackerel, they made my heart jump! It just goes to show that Heath was able to carry the intimacy and chemistry that he had with attractive female leads into his interaction with Jake on the screen, making the performance even more remarkable.

I had even spread the word to people on another forum, I hope they didn't show either because it would be embarrassing. Last week I couldn't get in on the live chat because I guess there is limit to how many java things can be open. Oh well, it's just not meant to be.

The idea always was that those who were able to...and wanted to watch in real time (using a baseline time of 2 pm EST) could, but that the designated movie could be watched throughout the weekend. Since I was getting on a plane at 2 pm today, I, unfortunately, had to defer my viewing to this evening.
But, I am still glad I watched this again! I liked it much better than the first time I saw it, which I think was a few months after seeing BBM. Then it seemed fun but sort of silly. This time, I just focused on Heath and saw all his little mannerisms and things I know (now) that would grow and mature.
And his smile...oh how I love his smile! And the way he kisses! Swooning here....

Okay folks, up next, Heath's breakout role in 'The Patriot' next Saturday. If you folks would like to have an online chat session during or after the film, we can do that on our computers! I wasn't sure people wanted to go for that but I would be glad to join chat for the film time.

In the car when he drove her home especially! The way he said one line in that scene was pure Ennis. Watching the movie again was very bittersweet. I do seem to enjoy it more with each viewing though, such a cute and very witty film. Apart from the mediocre soundtrack, it's aging quite well. A few other thoughts:
1- The scene with Kat & Patrick in the hay at the end of the paint-ball scene totally reminded me of Ennis & Alma at the end of the tobogganing scene in BbM.
2- For such a serious & politically aware feminist, Kat's taste in music was rather shallow and top 40-ish wasn't it? Cruel to be kind...?!
3- Cameron's friend Michael looked strangely middle-aged for a highschool student I thought. (The way Jonah Hill did in Superbad.) The actor actually looks younger (and way better) today, lol!
4- This is total nitpicking but in the pedal boat scene Kat & Patrick are pedalling at different speeds and that's not possible with a single axle pedal boat. ;-)
5- I just love Allison Janney! "Now scoot!"
