I watched 2 films tonight- that makes 2 and a 1/2 in total today. good going considering i got quite a bit done too today. spose it's my nature to just watch them as i float about. like a cinema obsessed Casper.
The first film i started to watch was 'Mean Girls'. i explained to ma how Tina Fey "does what i'm gonna do, only i'm gonna do it better and bigger" and my ma said she admired how confident i was in the idea that i would become a writer, and asked me why i was so convinced- i told her it wasn't a case of confidence but that i just know that i will, in the same way that you know the sky is blue and that the sea is pretty darn big.
That was a bit afternoon special, weren't it. Sorrrrrry
anyways, yeah watched that film up until the bit were they start sorting through stuff (oh my god, never in the history of the world has a sentence been more vague) and then i saw that 'My Best Friend's Wedding' was on on Channel 4, got gutted because i'd missed an hour of it, accidentally stumbled upon it on 4plus1 whilst manically flicking through the channels in a desperate attempt to be entertained, and settled down into a Rom-com-heart-shaped-occasionally-tear-inducing slump for the next couple of hours. I adore Julia Roberts- not only is she extremely talented, and one of my favourite actresses of all time, she is intolerably gorgeous (i want her hair so much. not in a wierd scalping way, in a "oh i wish my hair looked like that" way) and i love that film- it's so unlike every other romantic comedy, because...well, i dinnae wanna spoil it but it's not exactly a happy ending so to speak...i feel bad now...ah well, it's not like i revealed the huge twist at the end of 'Sixth Sense' that no one was expecting- you know, when it turns out that M. Night. Shyamalan career peaked with that film, and then he goes on to semi-ruin his credibility (already running low, thank you 'Lady In The Water') by making the film 'The Happening'.
After that i found 'The Good Girl' on Channel 4 and did pretty much the same thing as i did with 'MBFW'. I'd always wanted to see it, and i'm glad i watched it- it's ever so ever so good. i was really impressed by Jennifer Aniston, i wasn't expecting a performance like that, but it was brilliant. i really enjoyed it. it was clever, thought provoking, endearing in some places, funny in others and just downright depressing on some occasions. i'd definitely watch it again given the opportunity, and that to me is the mark of a good film- if after you've seen it you instantly think "i wouldn't mind seeing it again". i was talking to one of my course mates at Uni about how she never buys DVDs because she doesn't see the point of watching a film more than once (she is to me what Atheists are to devout Catholics), and i said to her that i felt a bit sorry for her, because she's missing out- everytime i see a film i see something new in it. A perfect example of this would be that the other night me and Fozz watched 'Jurassic Park'. Now, i'm not even gonna try to convey mine and my brothers and sisters love for that film- we wore out the VHS copy within a year when it first came out. I only need to tll you this to let you know how much we KNOW that film- me and Kage once reenacted the scene where Alan Grant (sam neil) scares that kid by graphically describing a velociraptor and it's hunting pattern, in our kitchen. Nuff said. Anyway, me and Fozz both noticed a tiny detail about it that we never had before (They use the same piece of audio twice during the scene where Dennis is attacked and eaten by a dilophosaurus)
i went off track again...bugger.
Anyway, yeah, er the film viewage is over and out. i'm quite tired, but in a non-sleeping way. that makes no sense
This blog has been well long and rambly, has used too many brackets (parentheses =]) and i've gone over on my superlative limit (DAMMIT JULIA ROBERTS!!)
There's a helicopter that's been circling around for about 20 minutes now- it's just gone 2:23am on Bob's watch, so i cannae help but think what it's doing up there doesnae have a happy origin.hopefully no one's like hurt or missing or anything.
Right, and now endeth the overtly long blog
nite ^^
xXx
