This years must-see movie: When You’re Strange. My love for everything The Doors and Jim Morrison is one of the greater, and for years and years The Doors have been a part of my Top 3 favorite bands (together with The Who and Coldplay). Jim Morrison is the epitome of the Fallen Rockstar, with drugs, politics and rock’n'roll, leaving his mark alongside Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix and for that matter Jeff Buckley and Kurt Cobain.
The new movie features never before seen photos and film and is narrated by another favorite Mr. Johnny Depp. Can’t wait to see this, and there’s no doubt in my mind about whether I will like it or not. Love Jim always. The misunderstood geniuses are always the most complex and interesting characters, it is so cliché, but true. Random fact: Jim allegedly had and IQ of 149.
Will not stop pestering you about this. Finally, the theatrical trailer for the movie I am dying to see this year. First part anyways, the second part doesn’t premier until next year. Harry Potter has been a big part of my life for over 10 years, and to see it all end, well this is melancholy on a high level. Goosebumps, tears and all that. Hopefully this will be the best movie in the series, and looking at the trailer it certainly looks like it’s going to be just that.
So, I’ve been sick for two days straight now, sick as in nausea, head ache and motion sickness every time I stand up. So I’ve been sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, with the occasional trip down the stairs and into the backyard to get some fresh air. Feeling slightly better now, which meant giving you guys an update to tell you that I’m alive. To a certain extent. And to leave you with the new trailer for the upcoming Harry Potter movie. :D :D :D :D :D This might sound like joke, but after seeing this, I suddenly felt much better. Harry Potter works magic after all. Can’t wait till November. Goosebumps.
Watched Poirot yesterday. I just love the crime novels of Agatha Christie, those and Midsomer Murders. Not that I don’t like CSI and it’s like, but nothing beats good old-fashioned British crime at it’s best. What do you prefer, Poirot or CSI?
I find it so hilarious that all the bad guys are smokers. If a character is seen smoking, they always have something up their sleeves. It’s like old cowboy movies, were the bad guys are dressed in black, and the good guys are dressed in white. Funny. I like it.
It seems to me the problems you worry yourself sick about never seem to materialize. It’s the ones that catch you unexpectedly on a Wednesday afternoon that knock you sideways.
Watching Alfie again today for what might be the 16th or 17th time. Just love that movie. Sienna Miller looks amazing as Nikki, her fashion sense is wild, out of control and a modern sort of Edie Sedgwick. And of course, Jude Law. Eye candy. Yummy.
My favorite guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo; Flight of the Conchords will take a small trip to Norway in May to perform in Oslo and Bergen. YAY. I’m definitly going to see them, are you?
Had the best time last night celebrating Rut’s birthday at VU with live song, rap and Mariann Thomassen/Kristoffer as DJs. Late night as usual, in other words, so I’ve spent today on the couch watching TV, surfing the internet and eating chips/cupcakes. YUM. I am addicted to How I Met Your Mother, The Mentalist and old episodes of One Tree Hill.Can’t help it, and since I’m against illegal streaming/downloading (or at least to a certain extent), I use a little too much money on renting season boxes at the video store. Yeah, big economic genius. Do you have any television addictions in these cold and dark days?
Just finished watching my absolute favourite Christmas movie; Nightmare Before Christmas. The music (by ingenious Danny Elfman), the layout of the movie with Jack and his long spidery legs, Santa Claus (or Sandy Claws) all fat with tiny legs and all the marvelous details of Mr. Oogie Boogie (also known as the Boogie Man)s bugs, and of course the storyline. All hail Tim Burton.
OMG. I just can’t wait. Girly-girly Maren is all bubly and jumping in the sofa (even though I nearly can’t breath through my nose and cough), I hope this will as great as the last one.
“Technical-genius Maren” managed to fix the computer, luckily. Serious abstinence problems there for a second, might want to consider forcing me to take a computer addicts-course. In other news I’ve had a second wave of exam anxiety coming in today, after I had a look at least years political science exams. Focusing on those damned English Literature courses, I had totally forgotten that I have 3 more exams to read for. GAH.
Anyways, let’s talk New Moon. Mixed feelings about it, but the simple enthusiastic fourteen-year-old inside of me took over when we were at the cinema, and looked straight past cheesy “oOoOo, Edward is a ghost in the water” scenes and an overly exaggerated use of nudity involving either Jacob and his wolves or Edward.
It’s a love story, and a “how to NOT get on with your life after your boyfriends dumps you”-guide that I think a lot of girls should take notes from, and of course; Edward Cullen and Jacob Black. *fangirl sigh* Jeez, who would have known I would end up being like all the other Twihards. Not me. So basically what I’m trying to say is that I kind of, sort of… like it.
But bear in mind that this is not the book, it’s a movie based on the book. If you look at it that way it’s easier to be happy with the result.
