Oct. 31st, 2006 02:31 pmAnd today's movie is... *drumroll* Silence of the Lambs! Yes, I'm slowly fixing all my gaps. ;) About this one, I liked it a lot, although I'm not sure it deserved a Best Picture oscar (even if we could argue if the oscars truly have some meaning at all :P ). The good points were the perfomances, no doubt, especially Anthony Hopkins'. Jodie Foster is one of my favourite actresses, but in this movie she looked a bit too scared and vulnerable to look believable. Stop shaking the damn gun, for god's sake! *sorry* The bad points: too many close-ups. Probably it's just me, but it felt really disturbing after a while, that all we could see of a person was his/her face. Or, to be more precise, just part of the face. It felt like a good idea for Hannibal Lecter, with all that no-blinking-while-talking, but using this device for every character felt really off at times.
It was funny to see how I already knew all the most famous quotes even without having seen the movie before. :D Liver, fava beans and Chianti. Sadly my lunch for today was meant to be liver and cauliflower (with a nice Pinot), but I took them all off the menu, because by the end of the movie just the idea of eating them was making me feel sick. :P Hurrah for potatoes, that don't look at all like anything you could find in a corpse! \o/
And I already bought all the ingredients for the sandwiches for tuesday (as tomorrow the supermarket is closed all day). That's one thing I'm really good at cooking! ;) By the way, I'm spending more and more time every day in the kitchen inventing recipes. The latest one was some sort of pumpkin sauce, which took two days to achieve, and it was so-damn-good. Sometimes I can't recognize myself, the girl-who-didn't-even-know-what-a-ladle-was. O_o
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more song
One more song
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on, in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out - Yeah
You know you gotta help me out - Yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out - Yeah
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more song
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
Yeah
You know you gotta help me out - Yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
Yeah
You know you gotta help me out - Yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down
Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on
