My L Word is Loser.

I like to reward myself with dvds. Tuesday is $2 all rentals at my local, but I end up getting weeklies anyway so I don't have to go back the next day .. which defeats the whole purpose. Lately I've been borrowing 'The L Word' aka 'that lesbian show'. Why am I watching it.. I don't know, it's like peering into the lives of lesbians, it's new to me. Not to be crude but it really watches like a porno with a better storyline.. every 10 minutes 2 girls are kissing.. every 15 minutes they're going down on each other... it really is something else.

Me: Just these thanks .. (5 dvds- Complete Season 3 of L Word)

Video Girl: sure .. *does her stuff* .. are these for your girlfriend?

Me: umm... yeah *sigh*... [think quick think quick] she asked me to pick these up for her

Video Girl: haha yeah I was looking at these and thought, they can't be for you

Me: yeah *chuckle*.. sometimes I'm busy so this gives her something to do at my house..

Video Girl: That's not very nice, you should treat her better, spend some time *stern look*

Me: nah like.. she's around everyday..umm well, thankyou.. enjoy your day.

Great, so not only am I dealing with being totally embarrassed about the dvds and lying that they are for my imaginary gf.. she totally thinks I'm an A-hole that doesn't treat my girlfriend right.

Can someone please come with me to the video store next week for when I borrow Season 4? I'm scared I'll bump into her again.

Video Store Fail.

Film Report

In one word, awesome. In a few more words, I feel I have just watched some of the best movies I've ever seen. Love Exposure was genuinely funny. tragic. captivating. entertaining. Four hours of film rolled by very quickly, lining up for 45 minutes to secure the best seats wasn't boring either.

Hungry Jacks filled the void between the first and second movie. Though I still haven't made a decision on whether I prefer a Whopper or Quarter Pounder better. I do prefer the meatier/cheesier texture of the QP but there's something about the Whopper mayo that is very special each time. I think that some further field research will be required.

The second movie .. my my my .. the second movie. Martyrs lived up to my expectations, a truly horrifying movie that is not, and rightly so, for everyone. After some discussion, I realised that one can only comprehend how good the movie actually is, the day after. Jessa and Jazel walked out halfway through the movie, Clarice cried. I have a suspicion they don't share my high regard for the film, but if you can make it through.. the movie is superb upon reflection.

I wish I could watch a number of other films that appeal to me, but my wallet will not allow it. Apologies Mr & Mrs FilmMaker but your work has been relegated to my ever increasing 'to download' list.

My 1st Melbourne Film Festival was great, and I will be sure to catch it again next year!
