"National Treasure" = Awesome.

I want to go see it again. Oh, trust me, I WILL be seeing it again. It will be the Spider-man 2 of my winter. BWAHAHA! Oh man. Just yes. With the good. I love Jerry Bruckheimer. And Nicolas Cage. AND! OH! THAT GUY! WHO PLAYED THE GEEK? ELLES? OR ELI? OR... OMG WHAT IS HIS NAME??

*quickly goes to imdb.com*

Justin Bartha!!!!!!!!!! Oh man. He was AWESOME. Riley Poole was his character. So freaking awesome. IN THE BEGINNING! WHEN THEY'RE LEAVING THE FBI BUILDING! HE'S WEARING A SUIT WITH CONVERSE! I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE THIS UNTIL I STARTED SHOUTING AND POINTING AND TELLING PEOPLE TO PAY ATTENTION THE NEXT TIME THEY SHOWED A FULL-BODY SHOT! ..Which they didn't do for a very long time, so it's better to just pay close attention the first time... but oh man that was awesome. And then later, he had BUDDY HOLLY GLASSES!

*sings Ode to Joy*

Oh man he was awesome. I think I'm in love. Just, yes. The best line in the movie was him, when they're in the treasure room and Abigail turns to him and says "Are you crying?" And it cuts to him all teary-eyed and he says, "...I see stairs!" BWAH! SO FREAKING FUNNY! Aaah man with the awesome.

Go see it now. I give it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Just fabulous fabulous movie. I don't think I stopped laughing the entire 2 hours. And that boy is so adorable. And... something else... OH! I felt smart because the clues weren't totally obvious, but I still guessed every. single. clue. before they gave the answer in the movie. *is proud of myself* Great movie man, great movie.

AND I SAW GEEK BOYS IN WENDY'S BEFOREHAND! BWAH! MORE ON THAT LATER! WHEEEEEEEEE!

I noticed the converse too. You see them a lot too when he's trying to drive. Everyone needs a friend like Riley! (see my lj post on the matter) Did you notice the PotC soundtrack moment near the end?

a) I know there were several moments, but the VERY first shot was the best of them all.

b) I love how you keep referring me to your journal and I keep telling you I don't read my friends pages very much anymore. Dory.

c) Of COURSE I noticed the PotC moment!!! WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR??? GOD, I'M ALMOST OFFENDED! SHEESH!

I drove Nick and Matt crazy (Nick more so) because I sat there going, "That was in POTC!!! It's the same music!" And after a while he's like, "I BELIEVE YOU!" And ironically, I'm listening to the PotC soundtrack now.

I know you don't read it that's why I tell you to go to it to read a certain entry!

i was so not looking forward to this movie, and then we had an employee screening the night before it came out and i watched part of it and loved it! i went and saw the entire thing last night and loved it even more. its making me want to change my emphasis to history (as in become a history teacher instead of an english teacher). i got chills when they found the treasure room...anyway i think i'm finished comment whoring...maybe...;)
