clo_againI just got Miko to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Keeping in mind she's Japanese and, as I discovered when the opening credits were already rolling, knows nothing of the King Arthur legend.
I'm not entirely sure she got it. Hm.
On the plus side Big Nothing was better than I expected. Which isn't saying much when I was expecting, well, big nothing after reading the reviews but it was at least entertaining and beautifully shot. Beautiful camera work and editing will let me put up with a lot; this had it in spades, so the somewhat random plot wasn't too much of an issue.
Unlike Simon Pegg's... creative American accent. Which was funny in itself and can't be held against him, considering they were meant to be in America but were in fact in the *Isle of Man*. There's creative licence and then there's pretending the Isle of Man (I-love-man) is America, which is a whole new level of suspending disbelief.
I should probably go to bed right now. Instead I'm contemplating cracking open the two seasons of Sailor Moon A's lent me. There's nothing like watching crazy Japanese anime at 3am to define what being a student is all about.
