Ich heisse super fantastische!

After a month or so of feeling not all that great, it was nice to experience genuinely happy-making things for a bit. And the last couple of days have been filled with such things (well, three such things, to be exact).
Cut for Oscars, skinny guitarists, and the inappropriate use of a ukelele... )

Ahhh the oscars were lovely, and I'm not actually sad basterds lost best screenplay, mostly cause I saw it coming a mile away. In fact pretty much every single win was typical of the Academy's style, with the exception of Bigelow and Monique's wins which I worried may not happen but then they did so, yay ( ... )

Yeah, as soon as Hurt Locker won the best screenplay at the BAFTA's, I knew that Basterds' chances of snagging it at the Oscars were slim to nil. It's a shame though, because it is a fabulous screenplay. And hooray for getting your hands on a copy of Basterds! I hope you enjoy it. :D ( ... )

It was definitely a good screenplay but I feel like it wasnt tarantino's best (certainly his most ambitious film project and screenplay since Kill Bill, perhaps more so) but his best IMHO was Pulp Fiction, which he DID win an oscar for, so until he tops that script or at least equals it, I feel like I cant say he deserved the win. Especially with so many other strong scripts in contention this year ( ... )

Sorry about the late reply, RL has been running me off my feet ATM. I don't know, maybe it's my blinding love for this movie colouring my judgement, but I think I prefer this screenplay to that of Pulp Fiction. Of course, Basterds is my favourite movie of his since Reservoir Dogs, so PF was never my favourite Tarantino film to begin with (although I do still love it). Also, after having seen The Hurt Locker, I can definitely say that Basterds had a better screenplay than the movie which did win it. And ooh, I'll check out your review straight away ( ... )

I know exactly what you mean. Between work, uni, starting therapy and my new internet obsession (Tumblr), I have really been neglecting LJ as a whole lately ( ... )

Man I'm going to be starting therapy soon too actually, It's something I've been considering for a while but putting off since my experiances as a kid with psychiatrists and stuff was not very productive (not bad, just they didnt help any but then I was seeing them for different reasons..) I hope it goes well for you though. :) My friend says it really works and she's the one who convinced me to give it a go again, since I've been having a really hard time lately ( ... )
