(no subject)
I highly recomend "A Very Long Engagement." Its kinda one of those movies that you could take a date to, but certainly not a chick flick. The only aspect that your fine female compainion might not like is the fact that alot is set in the trenches of WW1, and it shows the vivid parts of the war. (Most certainly not the fun parts.) But it is, deep down, a love story with none other than Audret Tautou (by far one of my favorite actresses).
I got "Pretty Devils" wit h good ole' Audrey to watch now, but I got exams this week so boo hoo.....
One of my favorite lines....
"Thanks to you, I spend my time picking gravel out of my lawn!" says the care-taker of Audrey.
'When I see gravel, I make it a point of arriving in style.' says the mailman.
Another one is "The Prestige." I know "The Illusionist" is out there too but this one is by far much better since...
1) Jackman, Bale, Bowie, and M. Caine are all in it.
2) A great twist
3) Remember remember...."Are You Watching Closely?" If you want to be surprised, don't, but if you want to be a smarty pants and figure out the ending before they tell you (like me i suppose....) then "watch closely."
And Today's Random Person of the Day Is....(A repeat???!!)
Guy Fawkes
(April 13, 1570 - January 31, 1606),
Born in York, was an English soldier and member of a group of Roman Catholics who attempted to carry out the Gunpowder Plot on 5 November 1605. The plot was an attempt to assassinate the Protestant King James I (James VI of Scotland) and the members of both houses of the Parliament of England, by blowing up Westminster Palace during the formal opening session of the 1605 Parliament, in which the king would address a joint assembly of both the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Guy Fawkes was in large part responsible for the later stages of the plan's execution. His activities were detected, however, before the plan's completion. Following a severe interrogation involving the use of torture, and a trial in Westminster Hall by Judge John Popham, Fawkes and his conspirators were executed for treason and attempted murder. Guy Fawkes' failure is remembered with Guy Fawkes Night (also known as Bonfire Night or Fireworks Night) on November 5.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and plot ; I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'Twas his intent. To blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below. Poor old England to overthrow. By God's providence he was catch'd, With a dark lantern and burning match Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip Hoorah ! Hip hip Hoorah ! A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope, A farthing cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down, A faggot of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar,' Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head, Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead.
