Looking forward to any films? I can't wait to see Matrix 2. I hope it's OK. |

My life is like a movie and I am looking forward to the nice calm bit after the hectic scene which seems to have lasted as long as the wedding in The Deer Hunter! |

I know what you mean! Do other people imagine their lives as a movie? Or imagine what a movie adaptation of their lives would be like? Reviews are all over the place for Matrix 2 - that's good, I'll have to figure out what I think of it for myself  |

Would like to see Matrix 2. Haven't managed X Men 2 yet though. And there's probably loads of other cool things that I don't even know exist. And most of them have to beat Jeepers Creepers which I saw on video yesterday... |

>>Do other people imagine their lives as a movie? No, but sometimes I feel like it's a soap opera. All the same characters popping up. My mum said she felt like she was in the Truman Show when she went out of her house and all the neighbours just happened to be out in the gardens watering the plants or walking the dog etc. and waving and saying hello. Then I told her I'd always thought of the bridge into her village as being like the bridge out of town in the Truman Show... Sort of long, and extending into the distance over misty water... I've just been to see I Capture The Castle - one to see again, if anyone wants to join me... Looking forward to Matrix 2 - hope the best bits weren't all in the trailer, but still, Matrix 1 was always worth seeing many times. I expect there'll be some interesting lines in the quiet bits too. Had to miss Donnie Darko again last week  She said her life was like a motorway - dull, grey and long... |

>>Do other people imagine their lives as a movie? Seriously tho, I often find that seeing my life as a narrative helps me to see God's plan at work - that it's not just one random day after another, as I've said before. |

Just booked tickets for Matrix reloaded. I simply cannot contain my excitement. Hold me. |

Oh dear - I'm supposed to be at a conference from Weds-Sat - how am I going to have the patience to wait to see Matrix 2? >>Do other people ... imagine what a movie adaptation of their lives would be like? I dread to think about it. I just hope it's sympathetically edited. |

>>Do other people ... imagine what a movie adaptation of their lives would be like? Like a good film: rated 18; themes of an adult nature, moderate to excessive use of strong language; occasional violence; gratuitously sexually explicit. Wait, not quite: Strike the sex. _________________ D4rk|y |

What would the music be like in the film adaptation of your life? You can have any pieces of music of any style, or you can just say "It'd be a bit like the music from..." For me, I'd like bits of 'The Planets' by Holst - astronomy theme, but also there's such a range of emotions that it'd work well as the soundtrack, I think. |

That makes me picture you either as CS Lewis, or as Mickey Mouse in a sort of Sorcerer's Apprentice role (sorry!). For my soundtrack it'd have to be whatever I was listening to at the time - 'Origin of Symmetry' by Muse was useful to put on when certain things were stressing me out in early 2002. Tonight walking through town was more of a classical moment. When I feel like putting my foot on the accelerator and making blistering progress in my work, it'd have to be 'Born Slippy' or that Aphex Twin track that my friend said sounded like cars crashing. That energy never lasts long tho, and it soon runs down into 'I'm only sleeping'. (Hmm, that reminds me...) The Deer Hunter - I've just torn myself away from it on TV. Don't want to get drawn into watching another film tonight. I've just watched a South African film in Afrikaans called 'Paljas' that a bloke in my Bible study had arranged to show. Put me in a good mood. As it says on imdb.com, Entertaining, striking and worth the effort to find and watch. Probably one of the best films to come out of South Africa. But at the moment I've got "I Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" in my head from the Deer Hunter. But the film I associate that song with is "Conspiracy Theory" - which I thought was a great film (not 'all time great') and should be better known. Or maybe I was just in a good mood as I saw it just after a sauna. Or maybe it was seeing Jean-Luc Picard as an evil surgeon? |

I saw Conspiracy Theory on video about three weeks ago - thought it was reasonably entertaining, but I was shattered and kept falling asleep through it and having to rewind. |

Doh - me again - too brainless after the Beer Festival to log in! Anyway - it's a bit of a spaced out film isn't it? 'specially the end bit! What's all that stuff with the horse? |

Almost saw Donnie Darko yesterday, but we ended up watching a video of "Glory" instead, which my friend reckons is one of his all time fave films. It certainly caused me a moist eye or two... (It's about a black regiment in the American Civil War.) | |

Haven't heard of that one. Really want to see Donnie Darko, though. |

Freakily enough, I'd just logged off after that last posting and I was leaving the computer room, when my eye was caught by a picture of a rabbit by the door. It turned out that I'd just missed a showing of Donnie Darko in the college.  >>Haven't heard of that one. It's got Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington & Morgan Freeman in among others. But it just wasn't hyped in the same way as other films, strangely. http://us.imdb.com/Title?0097441 |

Saw "The Man Who Wasn't There" on video last Saturday. Think it's a film I'll have to watch again (but probably won't). Very well done, but not one to leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling! Weird. |

I like it very much - strange film. I wasn't expecting the cameo appearance of aliens for no particular reason at one point. |

I've got The Man Who Wasn't There on DVD (I really like it) and the commentary is very revealing - the directors find the main character hysterically funny. |

He made me laugh, in a very dry kind of way. (I mean the making, not the laughing.) | |

I've finally managed to see Donnie Darko on video. Wow! Those kinds of film make my life seem meaningful. I'd like to see it in the cinema. (Pity I missed it when it was premiered at the Cambridge Film Festival last year - which apparently also premiered Reservoir Dogs and Thelma & Louise in the UK). |

Just saw 'Signs' on video last Friday. Did you recommend it to me once, DavidB, or am I thinking of some other film? It was pretty entertaining I thought, tho not too profound. |

I like signs. Nearly watched Confidence over the weekend. It's hardly being pushed by the cinemas...why no hype? Maybe it's just rubbish. |
