Not available in the UK. Oh Joy. Typical, these and press’n’seal. The two things that right now I really really want.

A definate “read in one sitting”

I did, well in 2, but they were in the same day and I had to cook dinner. But Fantastic all the same. Many thanks to my lovely Mom-in-law for lending it to me.

Speedy taught me last friday.

it was a load of fun…

;)

Had been wanting to watch this for ages, it was worth it, although Sean had to tell me the ending because I fell asleep, I am so tired recently I don’t know whats going on.

Anyhow, very impressed with Will Smith, very surprisng considering his previous form.

mostly because my husband is one of the people who have consumed this, even if he has forgotten to put it on his list…

Seriously though, it was him who nagged me into reading it, he then changed tack and told me if I didn’t read it he would lend it to our friend Bron and I would be upset for missing out.

Well, that did it, and I just finished it. He thought that it was takig me a log time to read (a couple of weeks) but that was only due to the fact that I have been in work more than I have been at home… So last week in my annual leave I finished the last half in a morning.

So yes, it is a bit creepy, it makes you feel a bit sick at times, and it doesn’t answer all the questions it raises. That I think is a good thing, it leaves you a bit annoyed, but it sort of stays with you too.

So thank you babe, it was worth the nagging, BTW I pinched the other one off the bedside table, I’ll be done with it by wednesday!

My husband gave me this for our first wedding anniversary (paper, get it?) and to be honest I am of the opinion that it is very difficult to give a book as a gift, unless you absolutely know what the person likes to read, or you know them very well, even if it’s a boook you enjoyed yourself.

But I love to read, and I really did enjoy this, so much so that I tried to not read it too quickly, it was well written, a good few twists and turns and it really did keep you with the main character till the end.

Definately, I am a Paul Auster convert.

worth watching, a bit too apologetic mixed with shocking. Interesting take on a schoolteacher fantasy that so many men seem to have.

Lessons to be learned.

that the present is the past you are building for yourself. Brick by brick. Your actions, words, reactions they all add up, what you say and how you treat those in the here and now. Will you look back on the way you are now, how you are behaving to those around you now here in the present and regret it? It’s not comfortable, maybe I can ask that because I know how it feels to think I wish (in the definitive sense the person is now gone)...

The gone in the permanent sense, sorry for being harsh about it but there is no other loss that comes close. none. Reality is harsh. And it doesn’t do to spend it in the past, past is past. It’s Neitzche’s abyss isn’t it?

Anyhow, I digress, I don’t know if that is what everyone gets from this film, Adam Sandler was excellent, as was Don C. The realisation that his wife who he felt so much resentment for was actually the woman he fell in love with, that she was just trying her best, just like him.

Adam Sandler’s character was well executed, it makes it easy to see how people fall into situations that can destroy them, that events can create a false reality, infact cause a complete disentaglement with reality, disengagement and lack of communication, seeing those who truly love you as the enemy.

it’s kak.

total, unashamed, complete, unadulterated kak.

Hugh, you let me down. :(

And were they Kate Beckinsale’s real teeth? I mean it is difficult to tell isn’t it, she is quite well blessed in the Equine-like tooth department. I could be confusing this with that other shit film she did about vampires. But I couldn’t really tell if they were her own teeth in that or not either. God Almighty, will someone please, for the sake of all that is still right in the world, stop casting talentless aneorexics in films? They yak on about bad impressions to teenage girls and then do something like this, she’ll be advertising Slimfast next. Oh the irony.

Gah! I am boring myself now, I don’t want to talk about this anymore, it makes me want to punch someone.

_{BTW was there a story in this film? I may have fallen asleep}

It was highly amusing, if you’re 5 that is, and not tired, one of our Party slept through it…And no it wasn’t Speedy.

Lots of jokes around bodily functions, just what you would expect from Mike Myers though. And his accent sucked, it didn’t even sound Scottish anymore, like he couldn’t be bothered.

Take the kids, we did, in fact we took the neighbours kids too, it was like the Waltons visit the cinema. A word of advice, if you go see this in Nantgarw don’t go to McDonalds before hand, it’s full of Emo kids.
