Going To The Picturehouse
1) Mew and I laughed our heads off at the balls-grabbing scene (ok I think I was more horrified and Mew more tickled) in The Beat My Heart Skipped. It didn't blow me away in the theatre, but the more I think about it, the more I loved the movie. What did blow me away was the abso-fucking-lutely hunkalicious oh-so-cool French actor in the lead.
Give me satisfaction on the silver screen, anytime, anyday.
2) The boy and I attempted to catch Tony Takitani again (first time being at JFF). We are getting too old for midnight movies and had to leave halfway (tearing from torpor). I don't know if the movie is just not meant for a second viewing or that it just shouldn't be seen at midnight.
3) We are watching Laurence Olivier's Hamlet on DVD in preparation for our visitation to Kronborg Slot (also known as Hamlet's castle) in Helsingor (Elsinore in English). This is the Boy's first brush with Shakespeare and, boy, am I proud of him when he proved himself worthy by being totally engrossed in the movie. (DVD is watched in segments because we are busy preparing for trip.)
Oh, by the way, I'm so going to get myself a super-touristy t-shirt from Kronborg Slot. :D
