Unbelievable, right? But yes, I live on, and so does this blog. I have missed it :) But oh my word, university is just so exhausting. Seriously, all you people who go/went to uni, did you realise you'd actually have to work so hard?!? In between two essays, four translations, five lectures, two speaking classes and endless grammar a week, I'm not entirely sure when I've had time to breathe, let alone write this blog. Don't get me wrong, I love it - I am that masochistic - but jeez does killing yourself over Kafka and the subjunctive take time. But anyway. I am back. I know you're all happy :) I can hear the cheering. And I'm happy - I really want to make time to post this blog regularly - it's something from my old life that keeps me anchored. Plus I just love movies, and after showing the Breakfast Club to some friends tonight (I'm spreading the love :D), I realised I needed to return to the mothership.
So, quick post, 'cos it's twenty to one and I have a French speaking class tomorrow with a guy called Guillaume who looks continually bewildered by how bad I am at French...
Trailers that have come out!!
01. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
So this admittedly looks like it could be a case of style over substance - and from the few reviews I've heard, it's not as good as it is meant to be. However, that's OK - I think what is really focal here is the sheer imagination being employed (Oh my god I sound like I'm writing an essay. Stop.) Still, it's Heath Ledger's last film. It's got Johnny Depp. And it looks fecking spectacular.
02. Invictus
Um, because Morgan Freeman + Matt Damon + Clint Eastwood must = brilliance. Plus it's already generating Oscar buzz, and I just love Oscar buzz - gets you so excited :D
03. Uncertainty
Ok. This doesn't look that good. But it could possibly be good. And, erm, Joseph Gordon Levitt is pretty :) This trailer has got me through many an essay crisis.
Am also finally seeing An Education this Wednesday (hopefully) so a review should follow shortly :D
Oooh, and also, something I wanted to discuss with you guys. After having read a lot of amazing fashion blogs recently, namely The Clothes Horse, Maverick Malone and Qin at the Disco amongst others, I'm kind of wanting to do maybe a little fashion thing of my own once a week, a what-I'm-wearing type thing. Now, I don't pretend to be as knowledgeable as you guys about fashion - I don't follow runways, I don't know much about designers and I can't really afford magazines (although I am considering getting French Vogue and putting it under my work budget :D). But I do love day to day style and street fashion, and I love playing around with my clothes and trying to express myself through them in unusual and different ways. (I kind of feel like I'm applying for a job interview here...). So yeah, what do you guys think?? I've been wanting to do it for a while, and yeah. Feedback and all would be love. I probably won't get round to it 'til New Year at least, but it's something to think about xxx

I was not a fan of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus at all. It was just really, really bad.
Yay to watching one of your faves with your mates! :D
On one of my first nights at uni I realised that two of my housemates loved The Breakfast Club so the three of us tried to make a fellow housemate fall in love with it too. Was fun times.
And uni is much more work than you ever thought, right? Everyone says your freshman year is a piece of piss cos you just need to pass it to get through to your second year and you don't need to aim for first and all that. It's hard! I'm on my third year and have just had to halve my hours at work so I can get my work done to a decent standard (why pay £20-30,000 for an education that you aren't gonna get the most out of) and now I have less money for shopping, dvds and magazines :( Sad times

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was amazing!! i loved it! if you like fantasy fairytale-esque films you'll like this very johnny depp.. also thought lily coles acting was really good! :)
love your blog!

Imaginarium is shit. Lily Cole can't act. Everything Vicki just said there is basically wrong.
@filmgeek - uni is too hard. fact. and my friends loved the breakfast club, but they didn't like john bender - they thought he was an ass!! which, ok, he was...but he was also AMAZING.
@vicki - welcome :)
@paul - play nice on my blog dearie. tbh though, I don't think I'm gonna get to go see it anyway - I'm pretty much broke and would rather see an education
Invictus looks incredible.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay. You're back. Very glad. I can only imagine how difficult it must be. I am University, but it's not a 'boarding' University. I mean they have dorms, but I don't live in the dorms. So it's just like school for me. And it's always good to have a little break. Anyway, glad you're back and alive and looking forward to hearing what you thought of An Education which whenever I see the trailer reminds me of you: for obvious reasons...Oxford girl and all.
:)
ncat' wait to see the first movie, seems to be fun and interesting.
Joseph Gordon Levitt is pretty...and from all the smack he talks in interviews about only choosing good scripts, you have to hope this one fulfills the promise.
