It is no surprise that the top movie this week at the box office was "Gone Girl." The movie is based on the best selling book of the same name by Gillian Flynn, and I was hooked right away. I actually listened to it as a book on tape while driving to the beach, and I would just sit in my car, even once I reached my destination, just listening because it was that good. Naturally, I went to see it the night it opened with one of my friends who loved the book as much as I did, and we shared a lot of the same reactions and opinions to the movie adaptation. Some of the main thoughts we had:
1. Rosamund Pike is beautiful, where have I seen her before?
2. "The Bar" looks so depressing
3. Why is the cat such an important part of the movie?
4. Do I even know what my own blood type is?
5. Why is her mom wearing equestrian pants?
6. Ugh Ben Affleck is so hot, but he looks like a serial killer
7. I mean look at that face
8. What kind of person takes a selfie while looking for a missing person?
9. Margot is the perfect sister
10. He is solving the treasure hunt so much faster now
11. I'm starting to forget what happens in the book, did he really do it?
12. Are you kidding me? His mistress looks younger than I am
13. Poor Nick just can't catch a break
14. IT WAS HER. SHE FAKED HER OWN KIDNAPPING
15. Who goes to such great lengths to fake a pregnancy test?
16. Wow, someone's been watching Law and Order
17. What an awful new haircut/diet/wardrobe/car/everything
18. Thank god her friends robbed her, serves her right
19. Wait, who is she calling?
20. Oh hey Neil Patrick Harris
21. Way to figure things out Nick, time to show her who's boss
22. Who knew Tyler Perry could play such a convincing big shot lawyer?
23. Nope, nevermind. Andi ruined everything. Nick's screwed
24. Desi's lake house is insane, when can I move in?
25. Wait, what is she doing with that wine bottle? Oh my gosh, ew!
26. No! Don't arrest Margot! She's just being a good sister!
27. Maybe she is really just going to start over with Desi
(They were so cute in high school)
28. Nope, scratch that. So much blood, ew ok that's enough, we get it
29. What a dramatic return home, she's literally lost it
30. Can they not wash the blood off her body at the hospital before the FBI comes in?
31. She is so crazy, can she please wash that blood off finally
32. This time she's really pregnant. That poor child.
33. He needs to get out of this relationship, ASAP
34. But, maybe he is doing the right thing for the sake of the baby?
35. Nick, you need to get out. How can it just end like that? Can she write a sequel?
