rien de rien

Mondays are days off as far as unemployment days off can go. It's haircut day and letter sending day also. So happily drugged up on magical hedgehog pills I watched 3 films today. Mostly because I've set so many new films set to record and so many still unwatched. I'm out of room guys! I have at least two days to watch and/or burn onto disk them all!

So I watched Candy with Heath Ledger (who is dead, I forget, I remember, I am saddened, I forget) and the plot was your standard young people are in love and take drugs but I liked it. It had perfect moments and some real sweetness ruined by all the evil drugs. Julie said it was BORING.

Then I watched L'enfant which was similarly sweet but awful. I mean it's a film about a guy who decides to sell his baby, but it made me laugh sometimes just at the childishness of the guy. Julie said it DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MUSIC, PFFT

Finally, I watched La Vie En Rose which was very pretty and a little sad but I felt kinda detached. It was nice to listen to and the actress (name forgotten, can't be arsed looking it up) was very good. It was ugly in a good way. Julie said THANK GOD THIS IS DONE and SEE THEY KNOW HOW TO USE MUSIC even though it was of course about a singer.

I made my mum watch Bande a Part a couple of days ago. It was supposed to be a cunning plan in which my dad would watch it, realise he likes Godard and buy films that I could then steal. He won't do it himself because he goes PFFT FRENCH FILMS but he owns La Dolce Vita and there is no way Fellini is less pretentious than Godard. It failed though because he didn't watch it. My mum was very much in awe in Anna Karina's eyes which are gigantic and utterly fantastic. I have to buy me more films. But ahh no time, no time. I have to watch some more fast.
