161:new picture on my BJD page and my movie reviews
Linda June 14th, 2010
I know that some of you are not entirely interested in my “other” dolls so I will not bore you here–but if interested there is new picture added of Tifa and Adsel.
On another note: we have signed up for Netflix and I must confess, I REALLY like it. We decided to drop our basic cable because my daughter was cruising the channels and watching some in appropriate stuff (a lot of it was commercials!!!). It really only saves us out $3 a month but it is fun! So far I have watched:
1)District 9 (all I have to say about this is, I think the main character was stupid and what do you THINK happens when you play around with alien technology?! Be warned–plenty of “gibs” in this movie.)
2)The Informant (Yawn, neither Scott nor I could make heads or tails out of this movie and only watched about half of it.)
3)Tideland (not for the faint of heart–I am still trying to make up my mind about this movie…it was directed by one of my favorite directors, Terry Gilliam, so you must realize that it will be “odd”. I can see how it can be disturbing–as most of his can be–he has a dark sense of humour. So don’t say I didn’t warn you..it does stick with a person though–kinda like onion or garlic ;0)
4)The Mysterium of Dr. Parnissuss (Yes, another Terry Gilliam movie–this one will probably be known for being Heath Ledgers last movie–he died during production and Jude Law, Colin Ferral and Johnny Depp to over his part. I LOVED this movie and during the first 5 minutes of the movie knew I had to own it. Sometimes Terry Gilliam’s narration seems a little wobbly–like he has ADHD but this one seemed to be more linear but also had more complexity to it. I adore this movie! Visually it is a yummy sticky treat.)
5)On direct download I have been watching “Neverwhere” by Neil Gaimen (it is done by BBC so the “special” effect are not very high tech. but just okay–esp.if you are like me, a child of the 60′s when we could see the outline of space ships and stuff. I don’t think this production is as bad as I had read other places and it follows the book or visa versa almost word for word. It is just okay and I am glad I didn’t buy it but am happy that I can see it too. )
6)Mimi has The Chipmunks the Squeakwell in the queue–bleech–won’t be watching that anytime soon but she is happy!
