Thank goodness tomorrow is court day - I'll have stuff to do that isn't revocations. Apparently I'm too bloody fast. :P

Talk to me, people. How was your weekend, what are you doing right now, wax lyrical about your favourite movie, anything. Actually, that's a thought, starting a short meme - what's your favourite movie(s) and why?

I have a new favorite movie, even though I'm only half way through it.
I keep getting interupted *gurrr*
'Rozencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead', it's possibly one of the weirdest films i've ever liked.
(not 'seen', but that was too weird to talk about...traumatic)
The two characters (i'm not sure if they qualify for 'main' characters) are as confused as the viewer as to whats going on, 'Hamlet' in small manegable pieces, proof that you can be weird, funny and clever at the same time!

Whats yours?

There's a few and they change all the time, but the one that consistently makes the top five is Brazil. It's directed by Terry Gilliam from Monty Python, and it's a weird and wonderful blend of fantasy and reality, in the same way as Delicatessen or The City Of Lost Children. It also has a lot to say about where the industrial age is leading us, about man's growing inhumanity to man, and an ending that just kicks you in the gut every time.

This isn't to say I never watch fluff - The Princess Bride is another all-time favourite, as is Truly Madly Deeply, which makes me cry like a baby every time I see it - but the fluff is generally the movie equivalent of popcorn to me. It's light, it's tasty, but it doesn't fully satisfy. Doesn't mean I don't like it - you should see me with popcorn! ;)
