Okey dokey where to start?
Well I just saw the new Harry Potter film. How was it? Well although I am a fan of the books I absolutely despised movies 1-5 due to the atrocious acting and boring story lines. So imagine my surprise when I left the movie theater with a big stupid grin on my face and my pulse racing. It was AMAZING. Finally I have hope for the remaining two films. It's going to be good.
Tommorow I'm going to see
(500) days of summer mainly because it looks brilliant and because I absolutely adore Joseph Gordon-Levitt to bitts (an amazing actor truly).
Then next week I'm actually really excited to see
Julie & Julia. Why (you might ask) would a young 21 year old
male as myself (who others of his generation would have no idea who Julia Child even was) see such a movie? Starting about when I was 8 years old my parents would leave me at my grandparents house for the summer. Now they lived on a fairly busy steet where no sane parent would let their child play and I would often just have to sit in front of the tv (my grandparents to this day don't have cable) for hours until my parents came back from work. Which wasn't bad until about 11 o'clock when Sesame Street, Lamb Chop and other such kid shows finished on PBS to make way for actual boring adult stuff. So for a large portion of my childhood I was subjected to hours and hours of Julia Child's various programs...and you know what? I liked it.
And later on this fall I would really like to see
Bright Star. I just saw the trailer to this movie an hour ago and I thought it was sweet. For those of you who aren't familiar with my tastes I'm a sucker for a love story and an even BIGGER sucker for historical fiction (wow, its a good thing I'm attractive otherwise I'd probably be the saddest thing on earth).
Lastly I want to share with you my love of music. Anyone who has read Cry to Heaven will note the significance of this video and why I almost asphyxiated with awe.
I present Tonio Treschi personified.
