i wanna go away

At some point during Xmas vacation, my mom watched Away We Go and I happened to go into her room while she was watching it and it was the part with Maggie Gyllenhall and the fight about the stroller and even though I had no interest in seeing it when it came out (sometimes I avoid things that I think I marketed directly for me, you know? it's lame because usually I end up liking them. marketing works. I should know that by now. maybe even be grateful?), it looked pretty good and i liked the nick-drake-esque soundtrack and i like all the people in it, so when my mom said it's good and talked it up, i decided i should see it soon.

so i saw it. i really liked it. i love allison janney and catherin o'hara. i'd like to see them someday have a scene together, they're both so right on and hilarious. of course maya rudolph and jim from the office were adorable and have the kind of relationship everyone wants, right? in the making of thing, they talked about how the writers have a shorthand between them and they gave that to the characters and that was awesome. i love the shorthand, even between friends i love the shorthand. it makes things more fun and go quicker, right?

can you imagine dating the same person you dated in college? it seems nice onscreen but whoa, so much time has passed and will pass. anyway, yeah, it seems awesome. i watched the making of featurette and i learned that most of the movie was filmed in CT. so they squeezed montreal, phoenix, miami and madison out of CT. the filmmaking illusion machine is totally amazing. i love it!
