Nevertheless. Black Hawk Down is an anti-war film.

Just some more quick thoughts on United 93...

During advisory lunch to-day, we talked about movies, and United 93 came up. Brian G. brought up the common sentiment (by "common," I mean the one I've heard the most): it's exploitive, that someone would do this for entertainment. I somewhat disagree. Yes, it's exploitive because the director and ( Read more... )

I'm so hungry and tired, but I have so much to do that I can't indulge the temptation to take a nap.

Also, I almost cried just now when I just watched both of the United 93 trailers. The memory of 9-11 is still so vivid in my mind that I just went numb when I watched the trailers. That's the one day I remember in full detail without having written ( Read more... )

My prom dress isn't going to be the light green-ish that it was going to be; my mum and I went to Jo-Ann's to-day and they were out of the overlay material in the correct colour. So now it's going to be a deep, deep red - a sort of winey colour that should do equally well. And there'll be some rosebud-and-ribbon detail. It'll be fun. I hope so, ( Read more... )

This VW Golf commercial is amazing.

Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments may be a classic, but it's one of those laughable-classics-that-aren't-supposed-to-be-laughable.

As a non-geek, you scored under 50 ( Read more... )

Shortly after I watched Whale Rider yesterday, my mum and I watched Roman Holiday, starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. Which, really, is a sad movie because they can never be together.

And now I want to rent Harvey and other really old films. I'm not sure when I'll have the chance, though. I should be cleaning my room and reading USAP things ( Read more... )

Guilt What is yours? Explain yourself Culinary: Smoothies.
Is a smoothie a "guilt"? I don't know. But I often crave them, mostly because they taste good and are healthy...
Literary: "Lord of the Rings." It's not considered to be literature by many scholars, but I love it anyway. And pshhh for scholars!Audiovisual: (none?) I don't suscribe to ( Read more... )

Spring break is off to a terrible start. I know I made the right decision, but I feel awful about having to do it. And that it's so personal hurts even more. That I had to hurt someone with whom I've worked so closely for so long - it's such a blow to both of us ( Read more... )
