Went to see New Moon aka Twilight 2











November 18, 2009. Went to see New Moon AKA Twilight 2 (Chris Weitz, 2009). Needless to say I've read the four novels. I'm a teenage girl trapped inside the body of a middleaged man, what can I say? Love the novels, love the movies: half my brain enjoys it all at face value (even though it's corny and sappy and cheezy), the other half delights in a Gender Studies analysis: just try to apply early Mulvey to this! OMG, what is going on? Is this one of those chick pix? How can they get away with so boldly presenting men as sexual spectacle, offered to the FEMALE GAZE (you even get two for the price of one: lean white Brit and buff tan Native American)? All those who complain that it's a piece of chastity club propaganda have not LOOKED: it speaks of nothing but sex.

November 22, 2009. Went to see The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (Terry Gilliam, 2009). With the late (Aussie) Heath Ledger (RIP), replaced after his demise by (American) Johnny Depp, (English) Jude Law and (Irish) Colin Farrell, no less. With Andrew Garfield who was in Boy A (John Crowley, 2007). Very stimulating. An aesthetic treat. A couple of metaphors overexploited maybe. Possibly too much about the yarn thing, demiurge storyteller, creation bla bla. But it's a Terry Gilliam! Everyone should go see every Terry Gilliam! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Watching TV: TV series: Eureka, Torchwood, great stuff.

Watching DVDs: TV series: Alias. Quite entertaining. Delightful Jennifer Garner.

Suddenly an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.

No 211 - Moulin Rouge! Director - Baz Luhrmann I remember very vividly when I first saw this film. I was in sixth form when it came out, and was a student of 'Theatre Studies', so there was naturally a lot of talk about this overtly theatrical piece. However, I was not convinced that I would enjoy it, it looked overtly soppy, a chicks film. Finally I was convinced to go and see it (Tom Done, who was in the year above and who was utterly terrifying, though who is now a good friend, won me over by stating the line I have used as a title. Surely a film MUST be good if it features unconscious Argentinians and cross dressing dwarfs!). So one evening I went to the Regent cinema in Wantage ( now shut down ) with my best friends Hanna and Richard . The film completely blew me away, and is the only film that has managed to firmly grab my attention in the first second, as the curtains open and the conductor arrives to play the 20th Century Fox theme. It uses the production company's

.408 CheyTac Fredo Viola Aug 29, 10:51 AM This is a real bummer to me. I pride myself on making as little an impact on the environment as I can, but make my living using computers to make music... and I use all Apple products... so I'm feeling really guilty about this right now. 408 CheyTac final.jpg appleguy123 Apr 22, 10:32 PM Because it is the third longest example of drift on PRSI (for now) and since appleguy123 started that one, of course he wants it to continue. Caught! :D Knowing how the PRSI works one naive bump could help me achieve the record. Maadi-Griffin 50BMG Pistol Draythor Apr 13, 04:33 PM GGJstudios Thanks, man. I connect to other drives so rarely that I have never bothered to look this up myself. OT: Does anyone one know why Apple hasn't got this built in?
