cfeng (and everyone else please remind me of this when the time comes):

If we go see Troy we have to go in a big group. And I am not sitting anywhere near you. There are two reasons for this - if I'm sitting next to you I won't be able to quell the slasher in me at all. Also, you bring out the critic in me. I want to enjoy Troy as what it is. I know that if I walk home from the cinema with you I'll end up tearing it to pieces.

If I'd gone with my sister I expect I'd have come out of Hidalgo with a more favourable review. But when I sit beside you I somehow get some of your 'film critic' hat. I don't want to be a critic of Troy, I want to be a groupie who gets swept away by the magic.

Normally I'm pretty critical anyway and so it's fine. The difference is I'm critical out of love, you're critical out of scorn.

This is one film I want to enjoy, even if it's not a good film.

*giggles* is he really that bad????

I'm taking my 11 yr old niece and 20 yr old nephew with me so I get to be ALL Fan girl!! *grins*

Oh O/T have a message for you from my 6yr niece...(please picture BIG brown puppy eyes and a really bad lisp when you read this)

"When's Ms aleathiel gonna write more? I really likes her stories."

I just had to tell you...she was so cute when she brought me the VERY used magazine with your story in it.

*nods* He is. I'll be impressed if he can list some films here that he didn't find tons of problems with! :P

20 yr old nephew? He'll let you fangirl? Hon, I need to meet him! Or is he going to fanboy Diane's naked breasts?

Give the 6-yr-old a huge hug. I'm thrilled she liked it! I don't suppose there's much I've written on here that you can share with her!

roflmao...oh that is bad

20 yr old nephew? He'll let you fangirl? Hon, I need to meet him! Or is he going to fanboy Diane's naked breasts?

He gets a kick when I Fangirl out on him. He's a lot of fun!! Not sure if he knows about the breasts part, but I'm sure he'll drool. *grins*

and yeah could really tell her that you HAVE been writing. :P

Zatoichi (superb mixture of diegetic noise with the soundtrack, and just some very cool fight scenes).
Touching the Void (beautiful documentary recreation of a climbing accident, which, even though you know the outcome right at the start, managed to build in tension as it went along).
Lost in Translation (a well-filmed experiment in possibilites and passed-up chances.

and those just from the past few months. although the list of films i can criticise is much longer
too many complimentary words. needed my thesaurus!
