...These go to eleven.


Haldo.
It's been a while since I've last updated, but that was not without effort on my part. I tried many times on two different days to log in to this freakin thing getting frustrating error messages every time. I gave up for a while, which is frustrating in itself because it's only when I reach some kind of epiphany or have a big change in my life when I feel that I must write about it to remind me later on how far I've come, and I've lost and forgotten what it was I wanted to write about when I first tried to remember my password that first day. Gadsssss

Hmm, well, now that I've got that regret out of the way, time for some updates. Lets start with film:

Watched This is Spinal Tap. It is now one of my most favorite movies. Really really genius. Watch it.

Kill Bill. Oh man. Uma Therman is a dream in this. Her acting is superb, I believed every minute of it, which is a bit of a stretch when I think about the plot. It could have easily been the gayest movie ever, but Tarantino pulled it off. I really liked Go-go's character.

Brazil. It was good, really. I need to watch it again. The satire still fully applies to us today, if not more so. Actually, yes. More so. What with the Patriot Act and all. Def more so. It's about the future and how the government will control most everything, leaving citizens with practically no rights, freedoms, or security. After watching it, I had to investigate, because the ending left me scratching my head. And I found an article explaining that the director of the film [it's some famous guy I can't remember right now] started this movie with the idea of making a film where the happy ending is a guy going insane. And he does. Paradoxically, the corrupt and malignant government's chaos creates the main guy's paradise only by causing him to go mad unintentionally. Tis good. Need to watch it again, though.

Oh yes, I did end up watching Paprika, and it wass as good as I expected and as creepy. I got genuinly scared at some parts. But it's really really good.

Amelie. :) Become one of if not my very favorite movie of all time. I relate so much to Amelie's character it's eerie. I wish I had seen this earlier, it would've made me feel less lonely back when I felt like that.

Blahhhhh, finished the 3rd Starwars as well as Episode IV, which were both pretty pretty amazing. Harrison Ford plays the bad guy well. Luke Skywalker's voice got on my last nerves though, especially when they were in the trash compactor and he was yelling for R2 to stop it. Man I wanted to shoot in the face. I physically told him to shut up when I couldn't take it any longer. Man. Some people!

Well, I have a whole whole lot more to catch this thing up on, but I think I'll do so tomorrow as I am sleepy and have not been this sleepy in a long time. Good night
