Erm....

erm...

well I suppose I should say something useful. About films and such.

I watched 'Some like it Hot' the other night, though I have never seen the beginning! I always miss it. But it is a really good and interesting film. What interested me about it the most is that two men could run, a lot, in heels! better than any woman can! Now if that's not impressive I don't know what is! They done a whole chase scene in them!!

I remember having an interesting discussion about Marilyn Monroe with my dad after watching this film. She is a good example about how people live on after they die, though in Hollywood this normally happens because they have had a mysterious death or numerous problems whilst living.
It's quit morbid that the world today remembers people because they may have committed suicide, why don't we ever remember the people that have done great things? We do occasionally, but the names you hear the most in conversations, if it was between the great person and the troubled one, you would hear the troubled one. I think that this is because ultimately a tragedy is more interesting.

Anyway... went off on a tangent there.

We watched 'Casablanca'. Personally, I didn't enjoy it much, I did almost fall asleep, (sorry Andy!), but I got confused at parts as I didn't know what they were talking about sometimes, that may have to do with the fact that I'm not really too interested in most of history, (first year teacher put me off of it, he was so dull!!).
I did enjoy being able to hear all of the quotes from it in their original context, though it was weird cause I'm so used to hearing them it sounds like the film was cheesy using these lines even though they used them first.

I will probably be shunned for not liking 'Casablanca' but I'm not too fussed, there's plenty of films that I haven't seen or don't like that people are surprised about. I quite enjoy being someone that goes against peoples initial thoughts of me. Tis FUN!! hehe.
