The opposite of a sandwich.
Feb. 5th, 2007 07:45 amI'm thinking of cutting down my f-list since I’m so busy I miss a lot of good posts from my good friends. I haven't used a filter in years. So first I thought I'd just use people I knew in person, but some I haven't met do great writing. Then I figured I could limit to those that post their own writings instead of polls, but that still leaves the meme whores. So now I'm thinking of cutting down to my very good friends, you know, that I've slept with. That might bring it down to about 20 or so.
Last night Jen and I forwent the superbowl tradition of shopping during the game, and instead watched Pan's labyrinth. This was a very dark fantasy movie. I mean it had fairies, but was set in a realistic fascist Spain. It also, surprisingly to me, had subtitles - but if you don't like subtitles, I wouldn't let that keep you from watching this movie - they weren't bad as it's a very visual movie. It would have sucked if they dubbed the voices, but interestingly I knew just enough spanish to notice they sometimes translated in such a way that you lost some of the impact of the words (sunshine from brilliant sun). The visual imagery is gorgeous - not pretty, but interesting. The characters are all interesting - it's borderline good guys bad guys, but the characters were complex. There are a lot of real scenes of absolute human horror, and some fantasy horror that is pretty graphic. I left the movie reeling, and highly recommend it. Warning - very not a happy movie. You can find a happy ending in it, but you can find otherwise as well.
Remember that B&W photo of all the "supermodels" where they were all naked, wrapped around each other, and vulnerable looking? Well, I was thinking of redoing that photo with a bunch of my ex's. That way, everyone else can see what I think about when I masturbate.
This post was the opposite of a sandwich, as it has cheese on the outsides.
