Survivor 32 Kaoh Rong Episode 1

For the 32nd season of the best reality show on television, they did a second try on what probably is the best survivor season in the past few years. I'm talking about Survivor: Cagayan, Brawns vs. Brains vs. Beauty. That season gave us some of the most memorable players, four of them went back for last season's second chance, Chaos Kass, Woo, Tasha and Spencer. The last 2 made it to the final two with the winner Jeremy who I would not have voted for if I was part of the jury. I think he didn't play the best game last season (Wentworth did) and just relied on Tasha and Spencer and ultimately his pregnant wife to win. I was never a fan of pity votes. Anyway, this season we meet the castaways on three tribes, some of them I wasn't sure if they should be on the tribes they were placed in and we will try to predict who will not have a chance in winning and who probably will.

Hateship Loveship 2013

This could have also been the poster for Welcome To Me, minus the bags plus the swan coach.

So yesterday I spent a good hour just watching Kristen Wiig SNL skits on YouTube. I also watched her get interviewed by Jimmy Fallon as she was pretending to be the Mother of Dragons, Michael Jordan and Harry Styles. I have seen those videos before but I sometimes find that watching some of the funniest ladies on earth relaxes me. These videos made me remember her small, nice and awkward film Welcome to Me. Instead of watching that movie for the second time, I decided I should watch one of her films that I haven`t seen yet. After much debate on which Kristen Wiig film to see, (other choices were The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Girl Most Likely and Nasty Baby) I settled on Hateship Loveship simply because I have not heard about this movie at all. Will I like this movie like her other films?

Directionless: Muriel's Wedding (1994)

So, the very first film featured here is Muriel's Wedding (or La Boda De Muriel in Spanish).

Why did I choose this film? Three reasons. 1. She looks so happy and celebratory in both the English and the Spanish posters. 2. She's in her wedding dress and has great teeth. 3. It's Toni Collette!!!!! The latter should be more than enough reason for everybody! But really, the reason this film was chosen was because the 'Directionless' series are about films which have characters who didn't like the skin they're in; stuck in bad relationships, jobs or hometowns; didn't like where their lives were heading. It's a really fucked up reason to write about really but I do believe, in my 27 years of existence that I have been in the exact same situation at least 5 times now and most people have been there too. Some still are. Sad but true. But unlike most of us, these film characters' stories didn't stop with loneliness and discontentment. They chose to turn their lives around, pave their own way and refused to choose the life of unhappiness like what Kate Winslet's Sarah Pierce thinks about Madame Bovary in Little Children. 

Now let's all see how Muriel got all her shit together and maybe we can get some tips from her.
