I just finished watching Matthew Perry’s Numb. The movie is from 2007, but I just found the DVD a few days ago. Perry is my favorite from FRIENDS. This movie is my kind of romance; the one that isn’t oh-my-fucking-god-i-know-exactly-how-this-will-end kind of movie and it doesn’t involve one of those oh-i’m-so-happy-i-can’t-fuckin’-shut-up-and-i-flip-my-hair-all-the-time leading female character.
It’s feels pretty real - as in, it can actually happen in real life - and that includes the dialogues. This one, is one of favorite dialogues because none of them answered with,
“Someone who will be with me FOREVER.”
Because, people? Lovers? As comforting as “forever” might sound to most of you, there is NO such thing as “forever”. Life does NOT have a “forever”; fairytales does, but not life.
So, yeah … I like this film.
