May. 25th, 2007 01:36 amBrokeback Mountain. Wow. Slow to start and I don't know, I didn't really 'get' it into over halfway through but then I cried through the last half hour and all was good. Except I don't know if it's just me -- probably -- but Heath Ledger was so hard to understand half the time. I almost went looking for the subtitles.
But. Worth the wait? Yes. Something I could watch over and over? Probably not. I don't do well with the heartbreak-type ending.
It's gone 1:30am and I still need to do a million things if I'm going to catch my train tomorrow. I just can't be bothered. And the dvds I burned of stuff to free up space on my computer in uni haven't worked, which means I'll have to find stuff to delete when I go back. Sinking feeling it'll be all the Top Gear I recorded, because I never worked out how to shrink the files and they take up massive amounts of space. Sigh.
Anyway. Clean the kitchen. Oh... joy. Can I go back to Lancaster now?
edit: BBC are being buttheads again. Really, for a channel that 'supposedly' doesn't have adverts? They really are pushing it. Which, when they keep raising the licence fee to insane amounts every year, is utterly stupid. Shows need credits. End of story. All it means, BBC, is that people will be flipping channels just that thirty seconds earlier. On to less anoying channels that don't overcharge them in addition to being buttheads. Neh.

TOP GEAR!!! Sorry, but it's your fault.

Date: 2007-05-25 12:57 am (UTC)Yeah, that's it. I liked it but wouldn't pay full price for it. I'm starting to use that as my measure for how much I liked a film; will I see it again in the cinema, will I pay full price for the dvd (hardly ever) or will I get the dvd at all? It's proving a pretty good system so far. :) Heartbreak endings are very evil. I like a little heartbreak but there needs to be some happiness in there.
^__^ I know. I am evil and it's awesome. As is Top Gear.
