love and other drugs


Love and Other Drugs —- typical storyline, anne hathaway looks tired most of the time but she did have great breasts so she’s forgivable; nice butt exposure from jake gyllenhaal; numerous steamy sex scenes.

that being said, i particularly like one part: towards the end, jamie plays the video and maggie is seen in bed, still has that after-sex glow that inspires much envy from yours truly. she shrugs and says “…just so happy i am…in this moment right now…it doesn’t matter if i’ll have 10,000 more moments like this or just this one because it’s all the same. just that, right now, this moment, i have this.”

those lines remind me of louis gluck’s queen of carthage that goes:

“I asked the Fates to permit him to return my passion,
even for a short time.
What difference between that and a lifetime:
in truth, in such moments, they are the same,
they are both eternity.”


pretty neat, huh?
