I just finished reading Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café. I loved the movie as a kid, I watched it lots of times, and at last I read the book. It was really beautiful, and it reminded me a bit of Gabriel García Márquez's Cien años de soledad, with its naturalistic writing, and the characters who looked so alive and real. Now I want to see the movie again, even if I'll probably cry, because it reminds me so much of mom, dad and Alice and the evenings spent watching it.

Tomorrow I'll spend the day with mom's best friend, we'll have lunch together and then we'll go to the hospital. It's been a while since I last saw her, and I can't wait to spend some time with her, chit-chatting and so. She's such a lovely person! ^^

EDIT: XXX-Holic #118 translations here. I want to see the scans! It's like...whoa... Clamp are so evil! They enjoy making their characters suffer from horrible fates...:'(

EDIT 2: Here for the chinese raws. Password is: shenshi. Poor Himawari-chan... :(

Tonight's movie: Fritz Lang's M. I love his Metropolis, but now I think this one is his masterpiece. Peter Lorre is amazing, and even if I had already seen some scenes (the last monologue, for example), I still got goosebumps as if I didn't know anything. It was scary like hell. The shadows, the kids playing in the yard, and M whistling the §@%& Peer Gynt... hope I won't dream of it tonight. Especially the whistling. I'll never be able to listen to Peer Gynt again. O_o



Great editing: the two meetings (the cops and the criminals) is a "perfect" scene, moving flawlessly from one table to another. And great use of black and white cinematography. The lights and the shadows, it really sets the mood and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Especially the §#@% whistling. And the fading. And did I mention the whistling?



So, another great movie that I'll never see again. Unless of course I want to have nightmares about the Peer Gynt. O_o
