Lost In Translation again


I watched Lost In Translation again on sunday night. I think the transition from Sunday night to Monday morning is such a lonely one to make, I'm surprised I don't watch it every sunday night. It had it's usual hold on me all evening and I finally gave in at about 12:15. This morning I thought, in quite a lot of detail, what happened after Bob went home and John returned from his trip. Bob was easy enough I think, but I had a lot of trouble with Charlotte... Oh well, hopefully the next time I watch it (8th time) I'll still get the same feeling as the first seven. I don't know how it does it.

(500) Days of Summer

Bought (500) days of summer on DVD on Friday and watched it straight away, I'd seen it before at the cinemas and £13.71 is a little steep for me but I though "Fuck it, why not?!" I thought it was Ok the first time I saw it but yesterday was a completely different experience, it was brilliant. The split scene depicting his expectations an reality was a stroke of genius, the highlight of the film, that and all the British indie references; Belle & Sebastian, The Smiths, Jesus & Mary Chain, chuffed.

2010

Spent New Years Eve - or really the hours after midnight - complaining to a load of school-girls that I'm friendless, boring and generally uninterested in the goings on my life. I didn't have much of a hangover in the morning and walking in the heavy falling snow at four a.m. was beautifully brilliant so I can't really complain.
