“You
could grab the past and drag it with you like a bag of rocks. You can grab that
new diet with grape fruits, and a brand new exerciser, and maybe that new
washer-dryer set. You can grab and grab and grab, 'til your fists turn green.
You can grab everything you ever wanted. Shake it. Try to make it go boom.
Yeah, you can never ever grab enough. Pop!”
I wish I could just pack up and go. Leave my house and my
family for an adventure to anywhere. I am twenty-seven and bored at shit living
at home in a town that voted one of the most boring places for young people to
live and working a shit part time at a library where I get hit on by old creepy
guys. If I had the money and a car that worked I would pick up and leave in a
heartbeat. My mom told me I should move out to California and live with my
uncle but I am not going anywhere without money. I literally have less than two
hundred dollar in my bank account right now. If I were to go places I would
want money so I can enjoy myself and not stress the fuck out over not having
any money to do anything or go anywhere else.
I wish I had the guts to pack up and go like Luli
McMullen (Chloe Grace Moretz) does in the movie Hick. The girl is thirteen and has the balls to leave her home to
travel to Las Vegas where she thinks she will find a sugar daddy. I would not
go to Vegas I would want to head out to California so I keep in tuned with the
movie scene (as a fan and watcher of movies not as an actress. You do not want
me to act)… also the weather is ten times nicer than New Jersey’s.
Luli lives in a small town in Nebraska. Her parents are
alcoholics and never really pay any attention to her. After seeing a commercial
of show girls in Las Vegas Luli decides to run away. While walking she gets
picked up by a guy named Eddie (Eddie Redmayne). He says something she does not
like and gets out. Luli then gets picked up by a sweet southern girl named
Glenda (Blake Lively).
Glenda and Luli travel together for some time until they
come to this guy’s house. Glenda is apparently working with him in some
capacity. When they get to the guy’s house they see Eddie is now working for
the guy and neither girl is very happy to him. Eddie convinces Luli to go out
with him to leave Gelnda and the guy alone. Eddie is a dick. He basically
kidnaps and rapes Luli and ties her up to a bed. The following day Luli wakes
up to Glenda in the room. Glenda recalls her story about her and Eddie. Eddie
comes back into the room. He has a gun which he says is not loaded but it goes
off and there was a still a bullet in it that winds up killing Glenda. Eddie
tries to smooth things over with Luli but she grabs the gun and kills Eddie.
Luli makes it out. She gets help from the hotel owner
Beau (Alec Baldwin). He brings her to the bus station. Luli calls her mother
but her mother has other shit going on that makes Luli not want to go home.
Beau puts her on the bus with a note in her sketchpad telling her where to find
him and his sister out in California.
I was bored watching Hick. It literally took me three days to
watch it because I would get bored and fall asleep. It was not god awful but it
was not fun to sit through. The story did solidify that I will never travel
without money or a car. I never ever want to end up in a situation like Luli’s!
I will not say to skip Hick it was
not that bad but it was not that great for me to even say it is worth watching
once.
