The Germans wore grey, you wore blue
So been a long time since I updated this thing. Not much going on. Still going to school, not as much as I should but I make an appearance at the two classes I really care about regularly. Spring Break coming up in a couple weeks, starting on the 10th for me. Wooooo Spring Break! Yeah it should be exciting. My sister's birthday tomorrow, she's gonna be 14, getting up there which makes me feel even older. Seems like everyone has a birthday in February. Megan turned 21, Dustin just turned 21 this weekend, my dad had his birthday on Valentine's Day. Mine is 8 months away, mark your calendars. Anywho, film class has been great the last 2 weeks. Watched The Maltese Falcon and today we saw Casablanca. I had seen it before but still I get chills watching it. I walked out of the class with a grin on my face, I just love that movie so much. It's the greatest film ever made, in my opinion. The writing, the dialogue, the acting, just everything is perfect. The classic lines, "Play it Sam, play As Time Goes By" or "Round up the usual suspects" or "We'll always have Paris" or "If you don't get on that plane, you'll regret it, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of your life" or "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she had to walk into mine" or "Louis, I think this the beginning of a beautiful friendship" and well you get the point. Watching it, you know the lines are coming you know what's going to happen at the end but it's one of those movies that still gets me every time I see it. If you've never seen it, well you're missing out. It happens to everyone, a friend asks you if you've seen a movie, take a recent film like Fight Club and if you've never seen it they are taken aback that you haven't seen the film. Well that's how Casablanca is but about 100 times more surprising. I think it's the movie by which to judge any great movie. Hell I think it should be required viewing in schools, I've seen much crappier films in school(Don Juan Demarco anyone?). Anyway that's my lovefest for that. Also just watched Brokeback Mountain this weekend and I liked it alot as most people do. Beautiful story of love and friendship. Kind of reminded me of Midnight Cowboy with two strangers getting to know each other and form a relationship and that movie was also focused on two men that had a possible homosexual relationship so not entirely the same but very similar. Cowboy won the Oscar so maybe it'll work for Brokeback as well. Although I still gotta throw my vote behind Good Night, and Good Luck. Also watched Goldeneye for the first time in a long time, since I was a kid, great Bond film.
