Truth and Beauty Bombs

review

Just giving you something to tale ot down.

By the way, you're welcome.

AND YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE

SBS keeps putting Pedro Almodovar films on. I watched All About My Mother again, which I always drift off a bit during and can never remember the end of, and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, which is maybe my favourite movie. I haven't seen any other Almodovar films, though. They seem nice. They remind me of 90s Aussie comedies, but cleaner and less self-conscious.

SBS has also been running an Argentine movie month. The Motorcycle Diaries was brilliant but tonight I'd rather watch The Cooler. Yo Duck is Aballay any good?

i watched harry potter + .5 blood prince

idk it was

k. dumb i guess but

actually liked it more than i thought i would

hermione is v. hot whatever age she was in this movie

also the scene where harry has to force ddore to

drink icky medicine

is v. awkward and funny even tho it was supposed to be the climax or whatever

Finally saw The Conversation. Not as good as I hope. :\

"source code"

it was actually really good

except think maybe it should have ended 5 minutes earlier than it did

(it didn't ruin the movie just

think that would have been the more artful choice)

I know exactly what you mean.

There are parts of Ghostrider that are oddly watchable, but this film really is as stupid as everyone said it was.

*ghost rider

in related news they're making a new ghost rider

apparently it will at least channel

crazy-ass nick cage

*

nicholas cage plays a
cgi ghost who never talks

he tries to crack a code for the kids
all the lil plastic letters he needs are in separate bins
he goes to one bin and pulls out a letter and sticks it on the wall without looking
he looks at the letter and is like
"wtf? an 'A'? I meant to put a 'B'!"
then he checks the bin and sees that it was mislabelled
"NOT THE 'B'S!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAA!" and he flips over all the bins and points a gun at the kids

this would be subtitled
because ghostwriter can't talk

He could write messages for them in the snow.

The Guard is a really funny movie and I liked it a lot and everyone should go and see it at once.

what, like
we pool our money to rent a theater and fly all the tabbers there?

Nah, we'll rent an auditorium and a DVD projector and hold screenings between the cage fights.

Actually hang-on I've got a modified diagram for a prospective Bomb Shelter kicking around somewhere.



Obviously this is just the main building. We're still waiting on plans for the boat house and tennis court, and the Couples Retreat is actually just a shack made out of fence pailings and corrugated steel.

Unfortunately the women's dorm is going to need to have windows looking on to the hallway. Otherwise the lighting costs would go through the roof.

i'll live in the closet

is there any chance of moving the patio i'm unlikely to ever leave around the corner so i can watch plays and films and things combatively

yo
don't both building a kitchen/mess
just built a kitchen
and I'll make it a mess >BD

@cmg: good suggestion! the original idea was to build a combination auditorium/gymnasium and stage the fights in there, but we soon realised that might interfere with the dvds and videogames. so we were going to built a covered courtyard adjacent to the auditorium, but the slab was too expensive (apparently, if you buy a boathouse they expect you to also buy a boat. it works-out slightly cheaper than buying the two separately, but the boathouse company is lucky it's the only one in the district. if we run-out of capital i may end-up threatening a settlement out of them). So we settled on the patio, since that way you could watch the cage fights from the common room, but on reflection that might bug people when they're trying to read. already spoken to the architect and we're gonna run this buy the builders on tuesday. (the architect is a girl i used to date who sometimes does the drafts for small firms on the sly).

@drp: i'm sorry but i've spoken to the architect and she says that while your joke is structurally sound, it fails to comply with the health and safety standards we'll be forced to abide buy if we're going to screw the government out of that small business grant by claiming to be a youth hostel.

Also, District 9 is on television. It's a damned good film, although walking into it halfway through can be a bit jarring, what the accents and odd phrasings and that one guy being a dick and all. Definitely impressive if only for the way it deploys its special effects. Also like that it manages to avoid damned near every pitfall of meaningful sci-fi, and not devolve into a load of sappy, transcendentalist wank. Although everything I've ever read by an African has been pretty grim in its outlook. Everything being Wilbur Smith novels, J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace, and the liner notes for a Bembeya Jazz National album which I can't understand half of since they're in French.

good god
the typos D::::::::

i watched this just yesterday. it was really enjoyable, only i kind of wish less dudes had exploded onto the camera? i mean i can deal with something like twenty guys in a row exploding, i just don't want every one of those guys' guts on the camera lens.

want to make a pr0n/prawn joke here but
any way I could do it would be terrible
