amb1873 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I got some special tickets through work to go see this movie last night and hadn't seen the previews/trailers or anything, just knew it was basically "Garden State 2" and I'm a fan of Zach Braff so I was like sure, count me in. Anyway, I'm not going to give anything away or ruin the ending but I just wanted to say that was one of the most painful 2 hours I have sat through since my breakup a few months ago! I can't decide if it was therapeutic to have gone or just plain torture on myself.... so anyway, if anyone here had a breakup that dealt with infidelity and also sees this movie I'd love to hear your thoughts on it as well! It definitely brought back a lot of feelings for me! (And I'd love to discuss feelings on the end but then we may need to clarify that there might be possible spoilers so we don't ruin it for everyone else in the forum who hasn't seen it? Maybe open a new thread?) Link to comment
Orlander Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 If it pained you to watch the movie...then it wasn't therapeutic for you. One of the things I try to stress to people is that after you breakup with someone DON'T watch sappy, romantic movies DON'T listen to sappy love songs DON'T read sappy, love novels.

TheGetUpKid Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I LOVED Garden Sate, and when I saw previews for "The Last Kiss" I knew I had to see it...... but then I remembered I have no GF to see it with Link to comment
amb1873 Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Oh no, it wasn't sappy or romantic. It was more like Crash. I can't wait til some other people see if. And PLEASE do not go see this movie with someone you are dating! Take a friend! Anyway- this movie messed up my head and I ended up in the bed of my ex again last night after 3 months of NC. I know I'm going to get some heat for this but I have just decided he is the man I want to be with, I'm never going to settle for less, and if he never comes crawling back to me the way I'm praying every day he will then that's fine- I'll just be an Old Maid. It's incredible when you try to settle for less than the best again and then taste the "real thing". There's just no substitute.... Link to comment
TheGetUpKid Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 So when you say "messed up your head", do you mean it reminded you alot of your EX? I rather not be reminded of my EX especially since Im starting to get over. Regardless though I'll probably go see it. I also saw the track listing for the soundtrack and it looks awesome.

amb1873 Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Soundtrack is incredible. Yes, it was almost physically painful to watch the characters go through what they did in that movie to me. It brought back a lot of pain for sure. Link to comment
puppeteer Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 i am a sucker for a little self-emotional-torture... sure i'll see it...i loved garden state. i just hope my ex see's it and sit's there awash in guilt and pain... but she probably won't...narcissistic people don't realize the damage they cause to others... the soundtrack is great. um, in regards to you going back to your ex...that was a bad idea i have to say. once the relationship fails at this level, it's pretty much always best to move on. just my two cents...what do i know really?
