Yesterday we (Matty, his friend Ken and I) went to see Memoirs of a Geisha. It was beautiful! It totally made me want to go back there. (I went to Okinawa for a month when I was 12) It was so different seeing everything up on the big screen. In my imagination pre and post WW2 Kyoto was much cleaner. Kind of like Tokyo Disneyland I think. So it was kind of strange to see it all crowded and squishy, which is clearly a far more accurate description. I think they did an excellent job of translating the book to the big screen. They hit the important points and I don't think they changed anything minor that usually would annoy me. (As opposed to The Sisterhood of the Travelling pants which eliminated 2 siblings, yes minor characters but for some reason it annoyed the crap out of me the whole movie.) All in all I really enjoyed the movie, although one minor thing was that it seemed to go on long at certain points and then I felt like it rushed a few other places. Oh and the last 2 lines just annoyed me for their complete and total cheesyness.
I've been addicted to this game on yahoo for days now. I don't know what it is about it but I just love it.
I am exceedingly happy with Fraggle Rock. I've watched 4 episodes so far. Still cracks my shit up.
Ok maybe that's it right now. I'll think of more I'm sure. :)
I never saw Fraggle Rock as a kid, but have watched some on dvd. We never had HBO.
ReplyDeleteI used to love Fraggle Rock so much. It reminds me of my cousins Andy and Larry. Ah, the memories.
ReplyDeleteI think they had to rush the movie because it was too much book for a movie, you know?
