Movie round-up...
...for the last month or so...
Ghost Town - I was unimpressed. It was one of those that had so much potential to be funny, but just failed *sigh*
The Pursuit of Happyness - finally got the chance to see this! I loved this. A lot had to do with the fact that it was... factual. I wiki-ed looked up Chris Gardner afterwards and - wow, such an inspiration!
Seven Pounds - On the other hand... I was intrigued by the trailer for Seven Pounds, but yeah, I thought it was boring. It was too long and slow, very slow. All the good parts came at the end when, you know, you found out what the hell was going on. Again, I think it had potential to be good, but a no go.
Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild - W. T. F. I saw the first one - Another Gay Movie - ages ago, and thought that was pretty funny. It parodied American Pie, Edge of Seventeen, Adam & Steve, QaF, Trick amongst others and I thought it was great. But this one... was more bad taste than usual and I just thought it was stupid - I don't think it was a homage to anything? Seemed to revolve around the guys trying to score "fuckstamps" in a fraternity like game at a resort - with some soul searching thrown in - I don't know, I wasn't paying that much attention. The only part I liked was Jim Verraros' (AKA Kyle in Eating Out) cameo at the start as a wayward priest.
Shortbus - Oh man, Ron was right when he said I'd love this. It was sad and exotic and funny. There were such lol-worthy scenes. And I love Ceth (with a "C") - he was so adorable! I looked him up (as I do) and his name is Jay Brannan, a musician. And OMG his album is great. He's a folk-acoustic type.
Guitar update: still have no idea about chords, but I can play really simple ditties and my three fingers on my left hand are smarting badly.
Oh and, yeah, I just did this to pass time before Christmas dinner is served haha
AND LASTLY, I forgot Carols was on last night and so I watched the Anthony Callea & Tim Campbell duet on YouTube,
