Apologies for the lack of entries this week!

Anyway, last night I saw “Hidalgo” with mum. It was quite entertaining, as mum kept pronouncing it with an overblown Spanish accent, so it sounded like “ee-dahl-gko” and I had to laugh at her. The movie was much better than critics have been saying it is, and totally worth seeing. (But what is it about Viggo that makes him so prone to receiving necklaces from people who don’t speak English?)

The day before, I saw “The Girl with the Pearl Earring”, also with mum, as she’s been poking me about seeing it for what seems like months. I was a bit disappointed by it, as mum had been going on about it being “liek teh best movie EVAAAAR!!!11one!,” and I just thought it was merely great. My Visual Communications course has clearly eaten my brain, as I was on occasion more engrossed in the editing than I was with the actual film. Mom was thinking “Wow, how beautiful” and I was thinking “You call that a shock cut?!?”

Alas, the woe.

We also watched the “Freaky Friday” remake, which was crazy fun.

BTW, does anyone have (or know where to find) a clip of Billeh singing “Oh, Jean” at the TORn party that doesn’t have the last second cut off? And does anyone know if an mp3 of the Gollum “The Towers are the Players” rap exists?
