Retail job. If he was alone it (probaly) would've been easier to me to go and ask him if he needed any help; to start a conversation. But since he was with friends....oh well.
Thats cool I really can't wait to start my first year of college!!last week of physics!then I have 2 FULL weeks of summer break before autumn session starts.
School, gym, job shadowing and studying has been my life the last 10 weeks. I can't hardly wait to do nothing.
Playing EarthBound for the first time ever. Nothing else really compared to that, but also field trips at work and dealing with screaming and poking children. And horrifying things I had to deal with on the bus that I wish I could forget. Oh the joys in my life. And one of my best friends is home visiting from California so we've been playing scary games and its been tres fun! What about you?
I'm probably in the dissenting opinion, but I don't think the game's worth $40. It's fun and it looks great, but the story seemed a bit trite to me, and I sold it once I finished it. It's definitely worth playing if you're interested in it, but $40 seems steep.
I've really enjoyed what I've seen of his work, and the repeating actors and ideas of sex remind me a lot of Wong Kar-Wai, which is definitely a plus. I finished Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and loved every second of it--from the unconventional camera angles to the costumes to the plot--but man, the subtitles were the worst I've read since The Official Story. Criterion's spoiled me on that front.
I guess that's the next one I'll watch. I have Law of Desire, Talk to Her, and Bad Education sitting on my floor for when I get in the rare mood to watch a movie, but Volver has Penélope Cruz in it and the others don't.
If it makes me cry, I'll come after you. Gael García Bernal is in it though, so I'll watch it.
Let me hop in my TARDIS and correct that.
whoa
Huh. I guess I'll just set it up so I can age exponentially.
Babel's the only movie I've seen him in, but he's an incredibly good looking man.
) from my mom's house and brought him over to the new apartment. And now I'm posting this post.Yeah, agreed. There are some movies where he doesn't look the best, but he looked great in Babel, and the entire segment in Mexico was my favorite anyway.
My internet is notoriously bad, so I'm in favor of playing with somebody who doesn't have decent internet.
I made a three movie list of things for dragonlife to watch a while back, but I can't find the post, so I'm going to defer to my Flickchart on this one: Chungking Express, In the Mood for Love, Clue, The Evil Dead, Lost in Translation, 12 Angry Men, Capote, Moon, The Hours, Moulin Rouge!, Charade, Rear Window, and An American Werewolf in London are, for my money, incredible films and required watching. Evil Dead and An American Werewolf in London fall into the horror genre, Moulin Rouge is a romance, and Chungking Express and In the Mood for Love are too, but in a different way, and the other movies fall more into the suspense and drama camp. If you can only watch one, make it an American Werewolf in London. If you can watch two, skip An American Werewolf in London and watch In the Mood for Love and Chungking Express and then go on Spotify and put California Dreamin' on repeat.
Thanks, I'll check all these out over the next few weeks.
Oh man I just saw the trailer for "Never Let Me Go" and I wanna see it so bad. It looked really good. Now I just need to find a movie rental store that isn't out of business. :/
I have the movie on my floor (I have quite a few movies on my floor), and reading a favorable review from somebody who read the book makes me glad I decided to give it a go. Never Let Me Go is the only book I've read by Ishiguro, but I definitely agree that it's beautifully written. I do a terrible job explaining why I like things, but Ishiguro's able to convey emotions, and even the lack of emotion, with such few words and build scenes and settings that capture such strong feelings of anguish and nostalgia that even though Never Let Me Go's plot isn't what would typically qualify as a page-turner, the atmosphere and raw feeling behind the story always made me want to keep reading. I realize the novel was on the shortlist for the Booker prize, but all the same, I don't think it gets the attention and praise it deserves. It really is a quiet masterpiece.
This thread tends to go a lot of places anyway, lol.
What's the question about?Could I ask a question here, or am I butting in and there is some other thread for that?
I could probably hit the character limit doing a good old-fashioned book recommendation post, so I'll save this for the morning when I have time to think out my selections so I don't just throw my bookcase at the keyboard.
'Gaydar'. It is just kind of curiosity about how propositioning someone works and stuff around that.What's the question about?
