Feeding the addiction
Exactly. Also, I have bravely ventured into the kitchen, where Clare's birthday party was gathered. Oy vey. Seven fourteen year old girls, kill me. While they were eating dinner, they had a ten minute conversation about some kid named David and all of the different shoes that he owns (really?).
Plus films avec commentaire inutile:
- Sid & Nancy: awesome movie. Granted, I am in no way an expert on Sid Vicious or the Sex Pistols or the '70's in any way, but it was great. Gary Oldman so was Sid Vicious, he even looked like him (which isn't really an acting method, just chance). Also, Gary Oldman circa 1985: really hot. Yeah. Just saying. Chloe Webb got the annoying Nancy thing down ("Don't fib, Nancy." "Fuck you, Grandma."). I haven't seen her in anything else really so I don't know if she changed it for the character, but her voice was so fucking grating. I liked Johnny as well and I loved how they did all of the concert scenes. The whole theme of Sid and Nancy just wandering around while shit went crazy around them (the trash falling in the alley, the arrest/fight after the show on the boat) was great. Very destructive, very lovely. V. good.
*squee*
Edit: Why I Love Instant Netflix ....
- The Basketball Diaries: Baby!Leo and Baby!Marky Mark!? How did I not know this? Well written (I need to find the book now), intense, great acting, especially on Leo's part. The scenes where he was going through withdrawal were pretty harsh, as good as Ewan McGregor's in Trainspotting sans the scary baby hallucinations. V. good movie overall, generally in the same vein as Trainspotting, &c, but marginally less awesome because it is in no way Scottish.
- Please Vote For Me: hilarious and vaguely disturbing. This documentary was shown at True/False last year but I missed it (also, I've never even been to True/False). Kelsey, Katie, and Sarah all saw it and they thought it was really funny but it was also kind of sickening. These little third graders in China are having a democratic election for class monitor and they have no knowledge of elections really at all. It starts out innocent enough, but the parents are just as bad as the kids. Cheng Cheng, however, stole the show. This kid comes home and takes off his clothes within minutes, sitting on the couch in his awkward yellow underoos. His mom makes him put on his pajamas:
Cheng Cheng: Can I take off my underwear now?
Cheng Cheng's mom: No. Not yet.
Cheng Cheng: But there's some pee on them.
Me: Ew.
Cheng Cheng's mom: Wait until your bath.
Me: wtf?
Cheng Cheng also makes his stepdad wipe his butt. Not to mention the fact that all of the little boys have these weird rat tails. Luo Lei's is braided. Cheng Cheng's is just kind of gross.
