i saw a film today, oh boy

*
  • in fact, i saw 4 films today. and i have 4 more to go through.
  • in cinema saw an atonement poster – it’ll start on 17.01
  • i’ve spend 5 days listening to single song, no wonder it’s now reached #7 among “top tracks”
  • got to make myself this only “special new year dish” – fruit salad.
    (not that anything prevents me from making it at any other day of the year,
    but there’s only this time when i actually bring myself to cut all those fruits)
  • planning to keep icq offline, telephone calls unanswered & front door shut for 3 more days

who’s that star i cast?

Mr Tumnus

Судя по скорости с которой James McAvoy перешел к ролям в фильмах с Анджелиной Джоли и Морганом Фрименом на втором плане, Mr. Tumnus (фавн) в Хрониках Нарнии стал самым ярким впечатлением от фильма не только для меня.


While watching trailer for Atonement (the movie i definitely want to see: i loved the book back then, and i’m sure i’ll like the movie), i thought that Belle & Sebastian song “I Fought In A War” would fit nicely into it.

Robbie from Atonement

Belle & Sebastian – I Fought In A War

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn’t very long
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet you’re making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
Round his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting for
This letter to arrive because I’ll be here quite a while

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn’t very long
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet you’re making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting for
This letter to arrive because I’ll be here quite a while

I fought in a war, and I didn’t know where it would end
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn’t really think
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
There’s trouble plenty in this hour, this day
I can see hope I can see light

And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
And I bet you’re making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it won’t hurt to think of you as if you’re waiting for
This letter to arrive because I’ll be here quite a while

Paris je t`aime

i’m not sure when i should celebrate those holidays since i’d changed timezones almost 4 years ago
i just got a feeling, that it was right thing to do, appropriate to the plot: to go to cinema at 31/12 to see this movie.

it came on me suddenly at friday, when it’s already almost impossible to work, when all around are more concerned about going to restaurant after work or some goods they ought to buy tomorrow at supermarket nearby

and cinema seemed to be a good place to face my new year: in a cozy red armchair, waiting for a good movie to start
last times it were metro station in 2004, some place i can’t recall in 2005, entrance of a shop in 2006.
had it any influence on years that came? will it?

of all things i learned in life – to trust in those “suddenly important” things, follow those “unexpected” routes – sometimes seems one of the most important.
so after the restaurant i went to buy myself a ticket to the movie.

1 ticket to a film about…
was it only about Love?

Paris, je t`aime

обрывки

..Но если есть в кармане пачка сигарет,
Значит все не так уж плохо на сегодняшний день…

Кино

Смотрю хорошее кино в ничем не ограниченных количествах – посему в сети бываю мало.
Диагноз: Кинозапой. Вместо чертиков – белые “глюки” из Princess Mononoke.

Вчера мной был установлен новый личный рекорд.
ВСЯ вода в кастрюльке, заменяющей мне чайник, выкипала 5 (пять) раз подряд.
Мантра: …тебенуженчайниксосвисткомчайниксосвисткомтебенуженчайниксосвистком…

Вышел Windows Media Player 10. Новый интерфейс, 12.1mb, типа все дела…
К проге есть ТРЕЙЛЕР. Они там наверное ебнулись.
ИМХО: мне не понравился. Половиной его функций я не воспользуюсь явно.
Да и удобство использования… так себе.

Через несколько часов… вот опять…
Мой самолет начинает взлетать!
