I'm back. Blahblah. So a couple of weeks ago I saw Once Upon a Time in the West for the first time. My expectations weren't really high. I thought that nothing could top The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. No wait, I actually thought I would just hate the whole film. I never really liked spaghetti westerns (or so I thought, but damn that term always makes me feel hungry). Because, what's so interesting about sweaty men who squint a lot? Just give them deodorant and sunglasses, that will solve the whole plot. Well, I was so wrong. Everything about that film was amazing, except for the fact that Cheyenne dies (oops, spoiler alert, but I think no one on my flist cares, and the people who do care have seen the film already). Why do those broody men who have a mysterious past but turn out to be good guys in the end have to die. Damn.
In other news, I've been reading Bird Song and it's so awful. The book sounds nice, first world war, tragic love story, hawt main character. All the ingredients for a perfect book, right? Wrong. The characters are fucking annoying, let me show you:
Main character: I can't stop thinking about you! I want to get into your pants skirt and have hot making love time even though you're already married 8D!
French lady: OKAY :D, Ohh Stephen I've never felt like this with anyone before
Main character: ooh cherie let's run away
French lady: : D OKAY
*A couple of days later*
French lady: OH NO, I'M PREGNANT, and Stephen scares me. I must get away from him.
Damn, COULDN'T YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU HAD HOT MAKING LOVE TIME, WOMAN. Geez.
And yes, that's the way passages in the book are actually written.... kind of. Har.
