A Woodstock Nation


I have been sooooooo pumped for "Taking Woodstock" to come out, but somehow, I failed to realize that it is coming out Friday. FRIDAY? You know what that means.... midnight showing dressed in my finest hippie attire. I'm so excited for this movie. I don't know what it is, but for the longest time, I have had a strange obsession with Woodstock. It probably stems from the fact that my mom wishes she would have been there, so she's been living vicariously through me, telling me as much as she can about the magical time that was the 60's. I guess it's just the fact that people seemed to have a passion for live that is rarely found these days and the fact that that many young people could come together of their own accord and celebrate peacefully. I mean, nowadays you can't even get ten teenagers to twentysomethings in a room together with out world war 3 errupting. I recently watched a documentary on Woodstock and it just seemed like such a magical time. I would give anything to have been a part of it (minus the drug usage).
Also, I cannot go without mentioning Emile Hirsch being in the movie. I love him so much. I've only seen two of his movies, but two is plenty for me to appreciate his greatness. His role in "Into the Wild", amazing. His role in "Milk" adorably great, even with a physically image quite similar to Napoleon Dynamite. He's just so adorable and so talented. So, to tide myself and you readers over until Friday, here is a (for lack of a better word and a better vocabulary) adorable picture of Emile and the official "Taking Woodstock" trailer.

Enjoy !
