Coffee and Cigarettes (Jim Jarmusch, 2004) - rewatch - 7.5/10
Awkward encounters, coffee and (once upon a time and even when drinking, occasionally) cigarettes, my favourite things. RZA & GZA segment owns it, "are you a bug Bill Muwwee?" but this is nowhere near my favourite Jarmusch. That prestigious award goes equally to Dead Man and Ghost Dog, ( Read more... )

Fuck! I just lost an ebay auction because my internet connection was TOO FUCKING SLOW to get in a last minute maximum bid. Fucking sniper cunts. Also, sellers who don't get back to me about postage costs ... fucking hell, I want my book, you most likely want the money for it, get your fucking act together! Ebay is way too stressful.

Um, is anyone else a bit disappointed with the MIFF line up this year? It's just so ... safe. These are the only films that I'm planning on going to, unless I randomly decide to go see something else.

* Mister Lonely (my crackhead boyfriend Harmony Korine's new film, I've been so excited for this one for years, so this is a definite must see for me ( Read more... )

The Sting (George Roy Hill, 1973)
Robert Redford, oh, my, god. Maybe it's because of that horrendous moustache he has in Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid that I didn't really realize that he's so hot, haha. What a beautiful man he was, those eyes, that hair, swooooon. I really loved this, and somehow in 22.8 years of life I've avoided any spoilers ( Read more... )

Woah, posted on a Wednesday! I've just been chilling. This is the first week where I've really felt like I'm on holidays, today especially. Lots of rain and being indoors all day, packages from Amazon and eBay, popcorn and new dvds. Good times. Here's what I watched last week.

Das Leben der Anderen [The Lives of Others] (Florian Henckel von ( Read more... )

What a week. Emotional revelations, paranoia and premonitions of violence, Beavis & Butt-Head, discovering a love for reading the public notices in the newspapers, and I heard Fall Out Boy for the first time. Their early stuff (hah) sounds like New Found Glory. Reminds me of the smell of grass and sweat at Warped tour etc. I just couldn't stop ( Read more... )

Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979)
God, my favourite film pretty much ever. I seriously think it's close to being perfect. And seeing as I just wrote a big fuck-off essay about it, instead here's my 5000 word essay on how good Martin Sheen looked in 1979.
