every sappy romantic bone in my body can't wait to see this movie! i've watched this trailer more times that i care to admit, and each time i'm oddly touched by it despite knowing is a formula chick flick. it helps that i have a hopeless little girl crush on channing tatum, i think he's just so dreamy! he has that whole sensitive brooding honesty thing going on, and i can't resist. i really want to buy the book (even though i would be embarrassed carrying around a nicholas sparks novel) but i'm afraid it will ruin the movie for me. every time i've seen a film after reading the book it's based on i hate it, without fail. it took me ages to finally accept the harry potter movies as somewhat decent. why can't they just make it exactly how i imagined it in my mind? hmph. maybe because i've seen the trailer first it will help, we'll see...
