Owies


Got a pounding headache.

Spent this weekend doing my "I feel like crap I need to cheer myself up" routine. That is, staying in bed and watching movie after movie.

Saw The Full Monty, Hannibal, Bram Stoker's Dracula (hey look! There's Verger looking more Really Fucking Sexy than Really Fucking Creepy and there's Lecter with wild hair!), Trainspotting, Bend It Like Bekham, and Good Bye Lenin!. Not sure what I'm putting in next. Maybe Red Dragon say I can finally so that I've seen at least 3 of the Lecter movies and supposedly Manhunter wasn't all that good anyway.

lol...WOW!!!

Fun days...XP

Hey, Trainspotting...is it good? I just went over (briefly) the book with my English Speaking Culture Class.... didn't know how the MOVIE was, so I didn't recomend it to them....

Oh yeah. I find doing one thing all. Day. Long. Wicked soothing, and since I'm trying to ration my books, watching 50 kajillion movies it is. =D

Trainspotting follows the book very very closely, according to my friend who's read it - I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. It's a pretty graphic movie. If you have issues with, erm, visual representations of bowel movements, the movie will either make you puke or make you sit through Those Portions with your hands over your eyes.

I'd definitely recommend watching it at some point in your life, if not now. :-)

Is Good Bye Lenin! good? I keep wanting to see it.

Quite good.
