So, is it good or is it crap? StuD and wee Karn didn't like it I know, and everyone I've heard either says that they love it or they hate it. The only reason I've got a sour feeling about seeing it is because of the hype, which really is an awful reason. But then, I'm probably just bitter because it was nominated and won a million times over my favorite movies of the winter, Being John Malkovich, Man on the Moon, and The Talented Mr. Ripley (which I've seen twice and I'd like to nominate as the in-house movie at the Sinister theatre.. is there one yet?). And why was the Great Beyond not nominated for best original song? Phil Collins can piss off, he's crap anyway. the thoughtful boy then said: << Finally, let's all hope Samantha gets better soon. You should have consulted the *sinister* doctor, dear, in our village :) *He* would have diagnosed strep throat. Or at least given it to you. >> Who's the doctor? Or are you being sinister and not saying it's you when it really is you, and then going ahead and saying that he, which is you, should've given it to me? You're such a cheeky monkey. I like it. But anyways, I'm better now, yeah. Just in time to go back to school and face 7 teachers, each of whom thinks their class is the most important. I about drove myself insane worrying about each upcoming class, especially photography in which I missed the darkroom demonstration. I thought I'd love this class, but my teacher's a real *moke* and makes me feel like a complete klutz (which I am, but she should at least be sympathetic). I'm working with a partner now and we've not even developed our film yet, whilst everyone else in the class is already making contact sheets. We just whisper to each other, "do you know what we're supposed to do next?" And we never know and are too afraid to ask the teacher. I want to transfer to a school in the Sinister village. Or at least switch to Ink Polaroids. Tony said regarding buying Nick Drake a pint and having a chat: << but this is exactly what he was like - happy, laughing enjoying a pint and a smoke in the local, the myth of the melancholy loner is only half the truth. How he became lost is a mystery even to his closest friends. Read Patrick Humphries' biography for more insight... >> That book is one of my bibles, I love it. But I still feel like chris_t_opher does about Nick. Because all I know about him is from the stories I've read and the music, which is otherworldly on its own in a way, everything regarding his life just seems like a dream to me. There's only one interview with him personally that I've ever read and there's only that small bit of recorded spoken word. There's nothing solid about him, even looking at photographs. And it's all from so long ago (at least to me, I was born 10 years after he died). It's hard to explain but I think you understand. I think that if I actually saw Tanworth and his grave, he might seem realer. I hope so at least. And I hope that there's a good deal on airfare so my mom will agree on going to England for spring break.
