sometimes you watch a movie so boring you spend the whole time rewritting it in your head to stay focused and then can't let go of your own version lol

focused more on the relationship between these two than plot

New guy alert. He’s like your fairy god uncle who sells used cars and palms you a 20 only to ask for it back later.

Today’s tantrum was brought on because Gnome Alone ended, and I put on something else when I should’ve obviously restarted it.

rewrite of “gnome alone”

original story is about a young girl, chloe, who has to move places a lot due to her mom’s job. because of that she never really has time to  make friends and tries really hard to fit in which makes it into a “better be yourself” narrative... expect it wasn’t done well. 

i’m changing that to her no longer trying to fit in or make friends at the start of the movie. she’s a goth in this version (seems like a pointless detail but her style has a role in the story) who pretends she just likes to keep to herself instead of her lack of friends being something pitiful. so while she loves the goth fashion and everything dark, she also use it as an “armor” of sort to keep people away.

her mom tries to be supportive and since she knows those frequent moves and lack of stability in her kid’s life is painful for her, she compensate by treating her like she’s grown and mature. let her do as she wants (buy the clothes she wants, dyes her hair the colors she wants) and trust her home alone. the only problem with that is chloe is left alone too often and while she pretends to be ok with that... well, she’s lonely! won’t let people find out about that tho

SO they move into this old spooky looking house and chloe loves it, up to the ripped wallpaper. one thing looks bad to her: the gnomes. for some reason garden gnomes are left everywhere in the house. weird. while cleaning the place she put them outside for people to take with them. but later they’re mysteriously back into the house.

then she meets liam, a neighbor her own age who came to greet them. one of the biggest problems of the movie is that characters are flat unrelatable caricatures instead of actual people so you don’t get attached and don’t really care when something happen to them. liam is a creepy nerd stereotype done in a way that felt mean.

instead he’ll still be nerdy, and akward, but in a realistic way. he will also be the opposite to chloe: a boy who really wants to be understood and accepted for who he is, and keeps trying to make friends no matter how often he gets rejected. at the beginning of the movie he’ll seems too cheerful and persistant and sorta unpleasant for that reason, until his character arc hits.

so, he welcomes chloe in the neighborhood, and she barely respond, as it’s her thing, but liam doesn’t let that stop him from being friendly. SHE is the one to make a haunted house joke this time around, hoping he’ll leave her alone if scared. alas, as previously stated, he’s the persistant kind. she just ends up closing the door on him. then goes back upstairs to find out what’s up with the moving gnomes, who had, yet again, changed positions.

no more “what’s up with these weird santas” cause 1/ not funny and 2/ you can’t sell to me this teen doesn’t know what a gnome is.

anyway, chloe tries again to throw the gnomes out cause she doesn’t like their vibes (too colorful and kitch) but they, of course, keep coming back. chloe doesn’t try to tell her mom this because she realize it sounds crazy and doesn’t want her mom to loose the image of the mature teen she has of her daughter.

on another day that she’s home alone (after having been to school, not made any friends, liam trying to talk to her and her ignoring him completely) she hears noises around the house. and yes, old houses often make noises, but she’s starting to believe the place really might be haunted, so looks around.

finally she catches two gnomes talking to each other, who force themselves back to stillness when they realize they’ve been spotted. chloe is starting to have fun with this mystery on her hand when the ring bells. would you look at this! it’s liam.

he propose they hang out at his house and play a game or something. his grandma even made cake! chloe says no of course. when liam ask what she’s doing, she just says it cash “trying to catch gnomes alive”. liam is silent for a moment and chloe expect him to find her crazy and leave for good, but he smiles and ask if she needs help instead.

(will finish later)
