mamma mia, here i go again. again.
I've just got back from seeing Mamma Mia! again at the cinema and have the following things to say:
1. Julie Walters is still fantastic. I go as far as to say she's the best thing in this movie.
2. I still cannot not like Meryl Streep. She is fabulous.
3. Pierce Brosnan is still not as bad as he could have been. His singing still does not make my eardrums bleed.
4. Some of the camera work/direction is a little dodgy. Anyone else noticed that during 'SOS' Pierce is singing and yet you can only see his chin in the top of the frame?
5. Sophie's friends got a bit annoying this time. At least they don't have too much screen time.
6. Did I mention Julie Walters?
7. It's still one of the best feel-good films of the year. It's shiny and colourful and catchy and silly. It may not have the best direction/plot line/singing/acting/all the songs (delete as appropriate), but it isn't half fun. I stand by my liking of it.
In other news, I went for a part-time job interview at John Lewis yesterday. They call it a 'group assessment' and they're probably right to do so - they don't ask questions or make you talk about yourself, they just ask you to participate in team exercises. I quite enjoyed it for a job interview, and would like to get a job there (when you're on holiday you find out just how much you need to have a job to finance going into town all the time!). I think it well, so fingers crossed.
On a different note: does anyone know when Series 7 of Spooks is likely to air? I've seen plenty of trailers for Spooks Code 9 and don't know whether I'll watch it - I love Spooks a lot (and get a little, teeny, tinsy bit obsessed whenever a new series comes on) and I have a feeling that I won't like watching a bunch of young people run around saving the world and partying hard knowing that Harry et al have perished in terrorist attacks. That might just be me? But with Code 9 being on from August to September, does anyone know is Spooks 7 will have it's usual September air date?
Other than that - I'm back from France now (as you might have guessed) and am enjoying it being a bit cooler and less dusty. I love going on holiday but I'm a real homebird and am always happy to get home. And it meant I could go and see Mamma Mia! again... I'm not obsessed... not all.
And there is absolutely no way that I am listening to the soundtrack right now. Now way. No way at all...
Just ignore the 'music' box and you might believe me. :)
