friday on my mind.
Morning!
The sun is shining here in Ipswich! My girls are still off sick. Me thinks they swing the lead a bit! But it's Friday, might as well write this week off! All my muscles have atrophied this week. I am but a blob, shuffling from one cold room to another! haha. Actually, feeling quite 'up' because I went out last night with my new friend 'N'.
We went to the pictures to see 'Hidden' (Cache -need an acute accent there). Well, what can I say? Well, quite a lot actually. A very thought provoking film which paid 'homage' to other genres. A thriller, but a different kind of thriller. A middle class family are being watched and the tapes are being sent to them wrapped in a piece of paper with a child's drawing of a person with blood gushing out of his neck. But the person filming them is not a pyscho (a la Pacific Heights) but, to my mind, the main guy's (Daniel Auteuil) conscience coming back to haunt him.
It's filmed very plainly, as if it is a surveillance film, no music, no nothing. But the suspense is briliant, a real air of menace. Very Hitchockian! There is such a shocking moment in it that really does shock. The whole cinema gasped in horror! Anyway, the more I think about it the more I like it. I 'googled' the director Michael Haneke, and haven't seen any of his other films, but I get the impression that he likes to make films that shock the middle classes out of their smugness. Quite political, as there is an Algerian theme too....the collective conscience of the French middle classes?
And on a less cerebral note, the film was long and as there was no background music, every other movement in the cinema was really loud, such as people shifting in their seats. The cinema is an art's cinema - for arts cinema read - tiny room with really hard old fashioned cinema seats The adverts were by 'Pearl and Dean' dadadadadadada dadada, dadadadadadadada DA! (if you click the link you'll get the music) Didn't think they were about any more!
After the film we went back to N's for wine and chat. Didn't leave until 12.20am! So a good time was had by all!
Still haven't got the cable for the camera so can't post my 'memorial of the moment' from my lovely back garden, as Lettuce is doing with her dillo of the day!
Bye for now....
HA HA HAHAHAHA Just heard James Blunt won worst album at the NME awards!!!!! HAhahaha

I absolutely love the Pearl and Dean music too. It just sums up the moment when you're snuggled up ready for the film to start and there are those crackly bits and a hair always seems to appear on the screen too!
lol betty cress. Yes, that hair. Sadly, I was the only one to laugh out loud at the Pearl and Dean thing as it would seem Pearl and Dean never went away from these parts!!!
HAha ha ha re James Blunt! hadn't heard that.....
and loved the Pearl and Dean. Can you give us a link for Ki-Ora (its too orangey for crows)
