10 Things I Hate About You
from Verbal Diorama
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind; I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right, I hate it when you lie, I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call, But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. The truth is, there's not even 1 Thing I Hate About 10 Things I Hate About You. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. It's got pitch perfect Julia Stiles, as rebellious, headstrong Kat Stratford and a breakthrough performance by Heath Ledger. Together, they're dynamite. There's honestly more than 10 Things I Love About 10 Things I Hate About You (and there's a difference between like and love, because I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack!). It's just too good to be true, and defies expectations of '90s teen movies, while simultaneously ignoring and respecting its Shakespearean heritage. The Taming of the Shrew is notoriously problematic and seen as an impossible text to adapt, but when you have Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah writing the script, you'll naturally be in good hands. Who needs affection when I have blind hatred? (I can confirm, you can indeed be whelmed in Europe.) I would love to hear your thoughts on 10 Things I Hate About You! GET IN TOUCH....
