This is what happens when you take The Notebook too literally.

Couldn't figure out what to watch last night, so decided since it was the only thing on TV, I would watch The Notebook. It wasn't completely my idea. My friend said if I watched it he would too. So we talked on MSN during the course of the movie. Here are some snippets of our conversation:
(Editors note: we are taking this movie way too 'literally' in the sense that everything said in this movie, we take the piss out of.)
*whilst watching the first scene in that house where Ally and Noah were going to...you know*

10:37:31 p.m. Kieran and yes it is sad
10:37:40 p.m. Kieran and we both survived it yay

There you have it...a conversation about The Notebook. I have seen it before, and I lauded it with 8/10. However, on a second watch, it is way too romantic even for my standards. But the end gets me every time. I don't absolutely hate it though...it just isn't one of my favourites. And I really don't like Nicholas Sparks, so I guess that doesn't help.
