Sep. 14th, 2008 04:34 pmBecause I'm having a day of Bumming Around Just Because I Can, I'm watching The Neverending Story on ITV2. I once tried to explain this movie to my Cypriot flatmate who'd never heard of it but got as far as "And there's a giant flying dog-dragon who's lucky and their entire world is being eaten by Nothing but it's actually all this little boy reading a book and-" And her eyes glazed over. But I do love it. It's random and pretty even given the hokey special effects and Falcor is still the awesomest thing ever.
However, I do not love that I just went to IMDb to see what all the actors were doing now and on the page of Noah Hathaway, the boy who played Atreyu? One of the forum topics is 'rafael nadal'. I don't need to even read the damn message to know that every time I watch this movie forever and ever from now on, all I'll be able to think about Atreyu is "Wow, he really does look like Nadal."
Dear IMDb, I HATE YOU FOR RUINING MORE OF MY CHILDHOOD. GOD DAMN YOU.
In other news, I couldn't work out how to connect my ancient Playstation up to the TV so I can play FF8 again. I think I'm missing a cable. Not amused at all but then, Playstation 2s are actually pretty cheap now. I could just pick one of those up and I would've done already if I didn't have extreme guilt about my levels of spending these last two weeks. I really am supposed to be saving and Australia is not going to happen if I don't get some willpower. Plus I bought a stupidly expensive laptop when I didn't need or intend to, just because I was pissed at my brother taking so long which is a really dumb reason to spend almost £700. And I need to buy like three sets of train tickets, today really. So I really don't need to spend £80 on a Playstation 2.
...I wouldn't be this damn tempted if my damn laptop would just get here. Stupid Dell.
