I am *so* weak
Jan. 24th, 2003 04:55 pmI have no sales resistance. That is, sales as in 2 for £20 on DVDs. The damn things were sitting there, taunting me.... I saw Legally Blonde and The Others and snatched them immediately, but then Crossroads beckoned... and it looked so forlorn and cheesy with its Channel 5 soft porn moment sitting there on the shelf and the way Britney leeches all glamour from the other girl... And as the damn thing was £19.99 by itself, I just *had* to get another one, really. Helloooo 51st State with best damn sex scene ever. Rubber duckies! (no, not as pervy as it sounds.
jogging - 13mins. And that was with taking the long way round to get there. I'm going to have to start circling the damn football pitches at this rate.
Saw 8 Mile. ...Damn. Fucking good movie. Not comfortable to watch, but still blows you away. You're squirming in your seat for several parts, and Eminem's basically playing himself, but he's good. Very good. Kim Basinger's trashy as hell, and fabulous again. Also what's interesting is there's practically no music. Some stuff on the radio of the car and the beat on his headphones while he's on the bus to work, and tiny snippets of 'Lose Yourself' while he's writing, but that's it. The Battle scenes are seriously, seriously funny, especially when he gets into the flow. Plus I'm with Empire magazine on this one. Not Rocky, not Saturday Night Fever but Henry IV Part I, where Prince Hal slowly realises that if he wants to get anywhere, he's got to drop his dead-end friends and make it on his own.
