Another night
This weekend drifts through to another night, and my notes are staring at me, mostly unread. I'm through three weeks worth of history classes and gave up when my notes ceased making sense. Daylight savings stole my Sunday from me, or rather, me forgetting about daylight savings did. We stayed in bed well into the afternoon, fooled by an unchanged clock, until I managed to pull myself out and down to the grocery store. Coming home, I stared in shock: 3pm... my god, where does the time go?!
Movie Review Time!
Went with the man to see Sin City last night. Now I had my doubts, because I know how easily disturbed I am, and given how I feel about gratuitously violent movies, this could have been a giant disaster. Not so my friends, not so. First of all, as I pointed out to Noel, go in expecting your expectation of how violent it is to be brutally castrated. Its violent. But not gratuitous. The violence just happens as a matter of course, its part of the style, and after the first few scenes it all just sortof comes together. Plus the black and white helps. The acting is really good. Take into account that apparently they all acted out in front of green screens and the background was all put in afterwards. Talent my friends, talent. I'm not a pro movie-goer, and I'm sure my movie going audience will have a thing or two to say. I just have a soft spot for Clive Owen. The cast is truely well suited to their roles, especially the ever-intense Del Toro. We love him. Alexis Bledel, fresh out of her Gilmore Girl duds and thrust into a very different role as a gun-toting prostitute, doesn't quite manage to shake her innocence. If I weren't hearing Rory Gilmore every time she opened her mouth, the innocence would have been just the right amount to fill the role.
Overall? Much enjoyed. So well done that I can't find fault in it. Yes I had to close my eyes at points, but it was well worth it. Three intertwining storylines that are utterly captivating, at no point did I wonder when things were ending. Go see it, you'll either love it or hate it.
