Saw pirates 2 yesterday evening, it was pretty cool even if I was distracted all the way through by the awful deep butch voice they have dubbed Jack Sparrow with Oh well, it was just to see it with my friends, the English version is out here thius time, I'll go see it again properly... I'm sure I missed half the fun with that dubbed version, Disney really have the worst translators ever, it's bloody annoying ! And also the French just don't have the pirates/sailing culture that the british (and therefore most of the ex-empire) have developed, they have no idea who Davy Jones is, and the songs don't mean a thing to them... One of my friends (who admittedly is a perfect blonde :roll: ) kept going on about them drinking Whisky... Whatever !

Oh and yes, the longest credits ever for that little bit at the end... oh well, it was funny

Saw Curious George today, it's a very sweet cartoon, anyone with kids or a brain that still accepts non-violent sweet stuff should see it, it's just fun, sweet, childish fun. And great songs by Jack Johnson.

Saw Pirates 2 in English too, it was miles better, but it does seem terribly long once you've seen it once already...

Watched Out to Sea (with Walter Mathau and Jack Lemon), The Odd Couple (with Jack Lemon and Walter Mathau), In Her Shoes (a chick flick, but good), and Funniest Moments of the Century: Disc 6 tonight. I don't generally watch any films during the week, so the weekend is the time to veg out.


I couldn't decide on just one quote... more to come.

That would be GR[u:24c3673c18]EA[/u:24c3673c18]SE.

Rented 2 DVD's yesterday:

[b:24c3673c18]the Dukes of Hazzard[/b:24c3673c18]
Not as bad as I thought it would be. That General Lee sure can act.
(Come on, I grew up on that show. I would go to my swimming lessons and then race home to catch the show.)

[b:24c3673c18]The Corpse Bride[/b:24c3673c18]
Incredibly done. A bit on the short side though, and a bit predictable.
Yeah yeah, kids movie, I know, I just feel that it could have been a bit more "twisted".
Beautiful music... Danny Elfman is rapidly becoming my favorite score composer.

Wait... the Corpse bride was a [i:284f2f4910]kid'[/i:284f2f4910]s movie? I didn't think so. not in the sense that I wouldn't show it to a kid... And I am not at all for labels...
It surely isn't just because it's animated, is it?

I recently saw Minority Report (finally) and Ocean's 12. Both good films. Ocean's 12 was really over-the-top, but I liked that.


And I said to myself, 'I am glad that I am not a clockfeet.'

So how do you work out what you're cooking ?

I must say it wasn't particularly a kiddie-orientated movie, they would probably enjoy it from a certain age, but still, not a movie specially made for kids...

Oh and fairyliquid can't handle grease, how allegorically ironic can you get

That made me laugh.

I'd say the story was made so a child (above 7ish) could sit and understand it and I think they would enjoy it. I think it's the story that makes is seem a kids movie but it's one of these ones created so the entire family can appreciate it.

Plus, any movie with songs in it will appeal to a lot of children.

On a side note, I thought the opening clockwork sequence was amazing!

Last night my friends took my sister and I to the midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was certainly an experience.

Now, I've seen Rocky Horror, but not in a Theater, so I was instantly decleared a "virgin" and a man in a corset drew a V in lipstick on my cheek.
Then I was called up to the front of the theater with a girl I'd never met and we were told to try to pop a red balloon without using our hands.
Yes, it was disturbing.

But I had a blast. The movie is hideously cheesy and weird, but I enjoyed throwing rice and toast and yelling obscenities at the screen. I think I might have to go every week, and bring my friends with me!

Ah, the life of a college student!

Ok, who's going to see "SNAKES ON A PLANE"?

If you do go, let me know how awful it was. I'm really looking forward to this being the worst movie ever made.


Fuck Shoes.

Well, I have 3 weeks of holidays coming up and no money, so cinema is probably going to be a major time-waster... (we pay a 20€ montly subscription and get to see as many films as we want) If we get really desperate, we may just try it and see
