r_scribblesReader, I went to Asda last night to do the big shop. There's some scary folks in there. Got some tasty ass shizzle for the next few days, though!
we also managed to see a whole film afterwards since Alex didn't wake up til nearly midnight last night - madness!
We've started properly on the Bafta screeners now, you see, and have watched many recently. We watched Watchmen, which was OK, although it did make me hum this song pretty much throughout
Moon, which was very pretty (and hummana hummana Sam Rockwell) but had a pretty lazy script - felt very short-storyish and didn't make good, engaging use of an interesting concept IMO
Up, which was delightful - touches of Roald Dahl, Gilliam and Wizard of Oz - a storyline that breaks your heart in the first ten minutes and left me terrified of becoming old and alone and brilliant, brilliant Dog Acting. (WALL-E's still my favourite, though)
and Fantastic Mister Fox last night which took a bit of warming to (very odd direction - lots of straight-on close-ups of characters during dialogue and the 180 degree rule is regularly broken) but once I got used to the style I loved it - wilfully weird both visually and verbally, fun and pretty. Not for very little kids, though - I don't think Vi would like it.
Got loads more good ones lined up - Where the Wild Things Are, District 9 & The Lovely Bones are next on my 'want to watch' list.
