Sickie Update, plus Fluff

[dotinthesky]

Internet is down at home so I can only sneak-a-Livejournal-peak at work. If there's anything I need to know, drop me a line, etc, ad infinitum.

Quick update: I've spent the evenings this week writing my novel (provisionally titled Blank Shots) as part of NaNoWriMo, and uploading it to a blog. I will post a link to it soon, for anyone interested in crappy first drafts. My word count at the moment is just over 13,000 words.

Kevin had a battery of tests and will find out next week what was wrong with him. He's feeling better now, craving chocolate and croissants like he's good ol' self.

I want to see Borat this weekend, or Red Road, The Page Turner, Little Children and The Host. So many choices, so little money.

13,000? And with illness to beat? Magnificent.

I hope Kevin's tests work out ok.

Cheers. I'll get back to you on that recent post of yours. ;-)

[thirstypixel.livejournal.com]

Appreciated :)

Little Children was good I thought. Borat is supposed to be hilarious. Red Road looks ace is in a thriller type way, so I guess it depends what mood you're in really as they're all so different. The Host looks good in a general way though so that one isn't as easy to categorise! x

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

For thrillers, Red Road and The Page Turner look like the best options; Little Children, from what I hear, is very thought provoking and well-shot/acted; and Borat and The Host are just good disposable fun.

[brokenhaze.livejournal.com]

Little Children was very thought provoking. I really enjoyed it. What did you see in the end??

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Borat. Just hilarious --- you must go see it.

[brokenhaze.livejournal.com]

Yes I really want to! Went to see Starter for Ten last night which was a little bland really. Just your average feel good film. Everyone I know who has seen Borat has given it the thumbs up so that'll be the next on the list, along with Red Road!

I always want to see a bunch of movies, then forget to make plans and never see them. :( estoy tonta!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

estoy tonto tambien!

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

*grin* nos otros los dos tonto! that was fun to say in my head!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Have a lovely weekend. I got your letter too. xoxoxox

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

oh yay! that was fast!

[la-mascherina.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear Kevin is back on the mend.
I'd love to see some of your writing.
Enjoy your cinema time. I saw 'Babel' last night. It was excellent.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Ah, I forgot about Babel. Yes, I'd love to see it when it opens here. By the way, Perfume has been very well received on mainland Europe, so that's another one to look forward to in December. ;-)

[la-mascherina.livejournal.com]

Yes!!!! I saw the big trailer for its opening here last night, but felt a bit let down. They show so much in the trailers here that it spoils the film a bit for me, instead of making me want to see it more. The German trailer was so subtle, without any dialogue or crap tag lines, yet so gripping. I nearly had a little accident when I realized what film it was advertising.
I hadn't heard of Red Road or The Page turner, but Little Children looks good. I would even like to see The Queen; how has it been received in England, do you know?
As you say, so many films, too few pennies. There is even The Nightmare Before Christmas here, with 3D glasses!!!!

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

what's Babel? Well, I suppose I should look it up for myself. besos!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

The Queen has received only rave reviews over here. I'm curious, but I can wait until it's on DVD/TV.

American trailers = spoilers. On one hand, it's quite good because I've never had to see Armageddon, for example, after the whole movie was summarized in its trailer. But it can be crap when it's something you are looking forward to.

glad Kevin's feeling better!
And, I suggest you pick BORAT.
That movie, will leave you gasping for air, you'll be laughing so hard

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

We saw Borat and you are right. Damn best movie of 2006!

[dilvsy.livejournal.com]

i saw it AGAIN yesterday!
*LOL*

[tonight-we-fly.livejournal.com]

It has to be Red Road; it's a marvellous film! The Page Turner is pleasant, but a little lazy.

I quite fancy The Prestige at some point this weekend myself...

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard good things about The Prestige, but maybe I'll catch it once it's out on DVD. I saw Borat in the end and I highly recommend it.
