This was a brilliant movie! I cannot wait to see The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus again. There is so much to it. It is such a pity that Heath Ledger is dead as he truly is a superb actor. However, the movie gained a new, and interesting depth because Johnny Depp, Colin Firth, and Jude Law came together to finish the movie in their friend’s memory.
Every cast member was great in their role and the movie made for a terrific afternoon.
Go see it.
You may remember this movie, Order of the Phoenix, has been driving me up the wall because Richard and I went to see it the day it came out in Spokane, and I couldn’t remember one single bit of it. Well, I finally was able to see it on On Demand and it was like watching the movie for the first time. I did not recall a single scene. Not one.
Had I hated the movie, I could have explained the memory loss. I don’t hold onto the memory of things I don’t like. But, after watching the movie, I liked it. I felt there was much that was missing, but I did find the movie enjoyable, and I did like every scene that Alan Rickman was in.
Why I forgot this movie, is an absolute mystery to me. It kind of bothers me. There are more and more important things I wish I could remember, but I cannot and it annoys me. I suppose my blog is going to turn into a reminder for me. Oh gads! Re-reading old posts! lol
So it goes.
I may be overweight, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like beautiful clothing so I indulge myself. One of my favorite shops is Holy Clothing. Today I was wearing the dress to the left as hubby and I went to the theatre. A small boy, ice cream in hand and dripping down his chin, came up behind me, and asked, in a rather timid voice, “Are you Mrs. Professor Snape? Why is your husband so mean to Harry?”
I had intended to just say no to the boy, and retreat, hastily, but there was a bit of a crowd, mostly mothers, who were staring at me and expecting me to answer, and to be nice about it.
My hubby was over at the theatre purchasing the tickets, and I was stuck. So, here is the little conversation we had (more or less):
“Professor Snape does seem to be a bit of a grump in Potions class, doesn’t he?”
The little boy nodded his head and took a lick of the ice cream while simultaneously wiping his face with his sleeve.
“Well, he’s like that because Potions is a very dangerous class and he doesn’t want any of his students hurt. He’s a bit harder on Harry, because Professor Snape knows that Harry is a very intelligent, powerful young wizard.”
“Yeah. He is. Okay. Thanks!” He then ran over to his mother, repeated the conversation to her, while smiling brightly, and then mashed his sticky face against her wool coat.
At least it wasn’t my dress.
And, yes, that IS my dress, but I don’t think I’m going to take a photo of myself in it, since I don’t care to show my face to the world. If you look hard enough on my blog, though, you might find a photo. Maybe.
What a nice and weird day.
Oh yeah… we went to see The Fourth Kind and although it had some neat scares, I don’t believe. I also don’t think the “real” footage was real as it appeared too contrived and polished.
I am seeking a question.
