New poster (FUCK ME, I KNOW I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE GOD DAMN ROOM ON MY UNI WALLS BUT NOOO I CANNOT RESIST THE ALLURE OF SHINY NEW PAPER. Poster magpie WHAT'S UP.) courtesy of the new HMV that's just opened really close to my bus stop which is very convenient but on the whole, disastrous for my wallet and life.
Okay so yeah, I'll confess now that despite not having gotten my money yet, (government money come to me shh love me now,) I've already done a tiny bit of DVD shopping and have realised with the wonderful convenience of region freaking protections and my lack of ps3 here, I cannot watch asian DVDS on my macbook pro (English,) or my PC (WHICH IS STILL DEAD WITH ALL LOST FILES INCLUDING ALL MY FINAL FANTASY 7 ONES I WILL WRITE ANOTHER FURIOUS POST ABOUT THIS LATER BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ON THIS SUBJECT,) so I had to dig up my macbook and now my desk setup makes me look like an apple whore (I swear I'm not.)
I love instagram already go away hipster at heart I guess :L
So I finally watched Source Code (recommended to me as "best sci-fi film I've seen in ages," etc. by various members of my peer circle,) and let's sum up my watching of the film in a numbered list, (because I love them more than life itself as ya'll can probably guess.)
(1) I already adored it 30 seconds in because of how damn pretty it was. The colour grading and camera work ahhh. CALL ME SHALLOW THEN GO AHEAD MAYBE I AM I DON'T CARE.
(2) Overall, a really clever concept which I liked... I was slightly concerned that it'd get repetitive but I liked how they managed to alter the location each time and bring new elements whilst somehow developing a relationship (although it wasn't really too in-depth,) between protag and 'love interest,'
(3) Wasn't overly long as well... managed to keep my interest despite point (2), and I liked the script, which was both relatively well written and funny enough as well.
(4) SPOILER during the freeze-frame, I thought it was the end of the film and burst into tears. Turns out there was another 7 minutes or so, so turns out I wasted my tears over nothing.
(5) The ending really intrigued me... I spent a fair bit of time reading about the different theories and plotholes and alternate suggestions on the internet and formulated some of my own, which I won't discuss too much as spoiling things makes me sad. Did make me think a lot though, which is good, because I really enjoy films that make you think long after about lingering plot points and alternate suggestions and ideas and messages suggested by the film.
Speaking of which, I've partaken in a perhaps rather stupid activity for tonight: film of the night is Fincher's american remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I love Fincher. I've read the books and watched the swedish film. Let's just say that even after just reading the books, (SPOILER AGAIN,) me and Esme discussed how absolutely petrified we were of Martin Vanger and I vaguely remember lying in my bed in our hotel in New Zealand staring at that massive window in the ceiling almost frozen in fear that I'd suddenly see his face pop out there.
Similar feelings are arising at the moment.
I pick the weirdest films to watch during stormy weather. Which I love, by the way. I don't know why people complain... okay, it's annoying my plans were cancelled because I was looking forward to a cute girly catch up with Ali & Alex, but I'd rather curl up at home with ice cream and a film than deal with being outside in the rain. All I need is someone to come over curl up with me attn attn apply here I'll feed you cookies :*
Luckily I have other distractions like the other zillion films I've downloaded/bought recently to watch, so I'll find something lighthearted to stop me having another damn nightmare tonight (long story short about last night's: evil christian church camp abducting and sacrificing kids and I tried to save them and the leader attacked me with a knife :-;) so uh, that's good I guess? And now I'm alone in the house and the film is finishing and jesus christ martin vanger is the scariest concept in the world I don't even want to leave my house I CAN'T BELIEVE HE KILLED THE CAT I FORGOT ABOUT THAT AND I JUMPED SO MUCH WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
Okay I'm going to stop blogging about nothing now and just go and eat one of the honey cupcakes my momma made. Yeah.
