It Ends with Us

GOT a chance to watch 'It Ends with Us' headlined by Blake Lively today. If you've been keeping up with your pop culture, you would know that its lead stars have recently found themselves in a bind months after the movie was released, amid sexual harassment allegations filed by Blake against her on-screen partner who also happens to be the movie's director, Justin Baldoni, which is quite ironic considering the movie's theme was about domestic violence. The timing quickly washes away all doubts that it may be all for clout and actually made me more mindful of the actors' nuances throughout the film. All things considered, the movie was great. If anything, some scenes just felt like a stretch. Some could have been removed and the movie would still have come out OK or even better. Including this one forgettable scene where the 'young' Blake was seen writing in her diary which read: 'I think lots of people would like to see what your like outside of work, I always wonder what your like at home.' Two times, the word 'your' was used in this sentence, and two times, it was wrong. Talk about consistency! This is a common mistake that I charge to carelessness. A tip, keep in mind that an apostrophe means something. It is there for a reason. 'You're' is the contraction of 'you are' while 'your' is a possessive pronoun which in Tagalog means 'sa iyo.' Really, this misuse has to end here.
