Well that was a relaxing day. Went out for lunch with the parents - about the first time they have been out for a meal together in I don't know how long, was happy I got them out of the house. No matter that it was one of the cafes attached to the shopping mall (though not actually IN the shopping mall, that would have been sad), no matter that the conversation wasn't at diamond level - it is a start, and will try to get them out of the house on a more regular basis. I said to them, now if you go see a movie now, that will kill two birds with one stone - they haven't been to the cinema in about five years...
Then I had to hotfot it all the way across town to Indooropilly, seeing as that was the only cinema in this city of one and a half million people showing The Woodsman. Got there with about an hour to kill, so a whole new shopping mall to explore LOL - but after lunch and various other expenses, there wasn't a helluva lot of spending money available. That is basically torture you know, having time to kill in a shopping mall but no money - I did buy the Closer DVD, brilliant movie, before realising that I may have to watch it myself rather than with an audience, especially a parental one, not just the swearing, but pretty explicit sex talk. There is no nudity apart from Natalie Portman's posterior from memory, but hmm the talk and the cybersex session, yeah I might just leave the parents to watch it themselves if they pick that movie to watch one night LOL.
And on buying Magnolia yesterday, noticed that the warning on the front said this movie includes medium level coarse language. Medium level? I remember quite clearly the C word being used several times in that movie, and of course endless amounts of fuck - umm, censors, if the C word comes under medium level language, dare I ask what high level coarse language would be?
Anyways, saw The Woodsman. Good movie, powerfully acted, uncomfortable to watch, but a story that was worth telling I think. Minor gripe about the positive ending (won't say happy ending, but more glass half full than empty), but the makers of the movie were brave enough to put the subject out there in the first place. Will of course put together a fuller review later in the week, but on another note, Myra Sedgewick OMG hot :)
Be back in a bit - Big Brother is on, and he's pissed off LOL - oh, the twins have been busted, guess all those popularity votes aren't going to count for much if they are having to go. But who knows what will happen this BB - I remember hearing last year the British version 'evicted' two girls and put them in an isolation room, WITH a feed from the actual house so they could see what was going on in there, and who was backstabbing who. Rumour is that is what will happen with the partnered up housemates when they were supposed to be single...
Ciao for now
