Country Strong...You have hit the nail on the head!! Country Strong is totally Walk the Line 2.0. After I saw the movie I had to come home and download most of the songs.<br /><br />I like the fact that they put out a second record with 'more' songs from the movie, but lets be honest, all the songs from the second record should have just been on the first. I don't want Faith Hill singing 'Give In To Me' I want Leighton and Garrett. I was extremely impressed with Garrett's singing, that voice can melt butter. Leighton was so cute in this movie, a nice change from being Blair Waldor. <br /><br />Gwyneth reminded me of Faith when she performed 'Coming Home', she did so good in this movie. And can you believe that Tim and Faith have been married for 14 years!!<br /><br />Lastly, when I listen to 'Timing is Everything' it makes me a little misty. Garrett does such a great song singing it, I kind of prefer his version to Trace Adkins and I LOVE Trace. I could listen to him talk with his southern accent ALL DAY!!<br /><br />Thank you once again for another great blog, I look forward to getting in to more detail with you about Country Strong.Allisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581985433180640480.post-28389000347957290322011-01-22T11:58:11.533-08:002011-01-22T11:58:11.533-08:00Ok, darling, what is this I hear about your BIRFDA...Ok, darling, what is this I hear about your BIRFDAY??? Tomorrow? HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY my blissfully kind and lovely girl! I have been under the weather this whole week, so forgive the erratic nature and the briefness (the latter counteracts the occurrence of the former) of this comment. <br /><br />1. The cracked glass of the MOO Mashup Print disturbed me when I first heard of it, as you know. But looking at your picture, there is something so "imperfectly perfect" about the cracked frame, that enhances Otherness and Beauty. Which is the entire mission of Musings...So I'm actually kinda in love with the battered yet beautiful gift you received. Mostly I'm pleased you won and received the print you wanted. It's my fave as well. <br /><br />2. Country Strong. Haven't seen it YET. Was planning on going tomorrow. I have known for a long time that I adored Gwyneth's singing voice and of course her acting abilities, but the draw for me is ..of course..GARRET. And I really really love the chemistry that I've glimpsed in previews between Leighton and him. Walk the Line is one of my faves as well, so any comparison you make between the movies--I'm sold. I'll let you know my thoughts upon return.<br /><br />3. Vogue Stew. I can't even...There are no...gah. I am writing a new Musings that coincides with this monumental, stunning event, and all I can do is stare. And be stunned. And stare some more. <br /><br />4. Starry Eyed Inside. Of all the fic discussions you and I have had, we haven't spoken of Rochelle. My Reader Sisters and I don't even call her by her full name anymore, it's simply "ROCHELLE". Because Rochelle Allison writes magic. She writes nostalgia, heartbreak, love and romance in such an exquisitely unique and effecting way, that there is no. other. author. out there that can emulate. She is a goddess and her stories simply soothe my soul and heart and remind me that every single moment is a gift. I've read every single one of her stories, and am only starting Sessions right now because I wanted to savor it as a whole (she's finishing it up as we speak and it's either posted already or bound to be in the next few hours). I look forward to hearing your always eloquent thoughts on SEI. <br /><br />I adore you and love your "voice" in your posts. I hear your joy, kindness and soul in your words, which in translation, means beauty. <br />Yours, KJ xxKjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873068290913042583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581985433180640480.post-17045172418288402292011-01-22T01:13:34.086-08:002011-01-22T01:13:34.086-08:00Before anything else, I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY...Before anything else, I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I wish I was there to celebrate with you, and I know you'll have so much fun tomorrow and this week. Enjoy it all, birthday girl! <3<br /><br />I'm so glad the packages got to you, and this week especially - perfect timing or what, eh? It was so much fun putting them together, and I'm so happy you loved! I don't know who or what to thank out there in the universe for bringing us together, but holy hell I am glad it happened. <br /><br />There's so much win in this post, I don't think I can comment on it all in this small space. So whatever I don't cover here, know that we WILL be talking about tomorrow.<br /><br />We seriously are #twins. Walk the Line? One of my faves. I remember seeing it in theatres for the first time, and will never forget, because it was in California (need to go back nowww). I am not a country music fan either, so my fam, who I was with at the time, went "you want to spend your time in LOS ANGELES (note: I go just a little, ahem lot, nuts for LA) going to see THAT?!" I can understand their disbelief. So I dragged them to the theatre (my sis was so pissed off) and sat down and LOVED the next 140 minutes of my life. For the rest of the trip, I was obsessed. That soundtrack was ~80% of what I listened to driving down the coast between LA and SF. I also bought Johnny Cash's biography and read it on the plane ride home. Anyway. Yes. Walk the Line is definitely a mutual love!<br /><br />Country Strong - what to say! I have many(inappropriate) comments I could make about Garrett, but I'm sure the same things are running through everybody else's heads (serio, if you haven't seen this movie, go see it NAO), so I'll save them. He was definitely my favourite part though - songs, acting, all of it. Travis broke my heart and at the same time was in maybe my favourite non-G scene. And while I'm not a huge fan of Gwenyth's, I thought she did a very good job with the role. I'm jealous of your second viewing - I known you'll see and get more out of it than the first time!<br /><br />I can't wait for VogueStew (get to my Chapters now please) and of course SEI!!! You know the amount of mad love I have for that story.<br /><br />Until the next post,<br /><br />xxxxKatenoreply@blogger.com
