Yes, I’ve finally got time to post. In my defence, school has just started and it’s important that I get my work done. I went to my swimming carnival. It was boiling. I was so sick that I had to be carried from the pool. I had to pause and then keep swimming. I, however, got cheered throughout the race (even though I was dead last, effort and persistence is considered to be more important than winning at my school) and afterwards has people say one of three things to me:
- Good effort (or something along those lines)
- How are you feeling?
- Did you hear me cheering for you?
It was hours before I got the colour in my face again.
Okay, the movie I’m tracking right now is a little film called Coraline. Based on the book by Neil Gaiman (he wrote the novel of Stardust before it was turned into a movie. He’s also written other books such as American Gods),it’s a dark animation (directed by Henry Selick – yes, it’s darker than the Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride). It has the voices of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, John Hodgman (aka PC guy in the Mac ads), Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French. Probably not for kids under the age of ten.
Also watched a few DVDs in the past few weeks. They were:
- Soapdish (really funny)
- The Jurassic Park films (I like the character of Malcolm best, but probably the first fiml best)
- Good Will Hunting (if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth watching at least once)
- 21 (fairly good. Spacey is, once again, fantastic)
I’ll probably post more stuff soon.
