Three films this time, because I haven't posted for ages. (Ish.) In short:

Little Fish - Weird and depressing.
Sylvia - Depressing.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Weird.

Aaaand the in-depth reviews (kinda, anyway, I can't be bothered with really in-depth):

This was not supposed to happen.

That Sylvia Plath is a very good poet,
Unfortunately, just don't she know it?
She writes all these words that are really very strange,
And then tells us all that it's cos she's so derranged,
And that she's a poet, damnit, and you've gotta understand
That they're allusive and mean clever things (like a hat-stand
Is actually a metaphor for the futility of life
And how that Ted Hughes bloke was none-so pleasant to his wife,
And how a vase of tulips is an apocalyptic sham,
And a fat gold watch ticks ticky-tock wham
And is something about something that happened to her, once)
And if we cannot understand then we are stupid little grunts
In a world of gloom and doom living in a bell jar -
Don'cha think, Sylvie-girl, that you take it too far?
Can't you ever write it down like something you would say
To the postman or the guy behind you in the chippy on a rainy day,
So that we don't have to be you to get more than the gist -
Honest, love, it's driving all of us round the bloody twist!
I mean, we understand that you've got problems, maybe feel a little blue or something, but
Can't you see that it's no use moaning about how no-one understands you and how the world is shit if you don't make as much sense as an un-holed donought?

...shit. Did I just write a Sylvia Plath rap?

Ye gods...

Um. Yeah. I was going to say something about attempting to see Eternal Sunshine when it first came out, and make some amusing comment about Hugo Weaving ad eyebrows and robes and Smiths and things, but I forgot what I was going to say.

Ooops.

That. Was. AMAZING! You just wrote it on the spot? Dude. I'm impressed.
Hee, you should rent it or summat. And his eyebrows were spectacular, as ever. =D

Hee, thanks. :D It wasn't really supposed to be that long, but it just didn't seem to stop... :P

I rented Pan's Labyrinth today, as it happens; I'd really recommend it...

Ah, but it's so cool!
YAY! I know, it's awesome. I love it. I need to buy it...
