I finally went to the cinema to watch Memoirs of a Geisha, I've wanted to go since they released the film but for one reason or another never got around doing it. The movie it's not that bad, though there are a couple of details that annoyed me to no end, one of them was the accent of all the characters that made it difficult to understand on occasion what they were saying. I would have love the movie in Japanese with subtitles, but well, whatever. I think that one of the reasons I didn't enjoy the movie as much as I should have was that I was angry the whole time. Why? Well, first when it started, after the 20 minutes of advertisement and coming attractions, the lights went off and the movie started. Only it wasn't Memoirs of a Geisha but Narnia. Everyone was looking at each other thinking, did we go to the wrong screen? No, we were in the right one. So, someone alerted the people at the cinema and they changed the movie. This sound easy, but it took them some 15 minutes to get it right, and after that we had to endure another 25 minutes of advertisement and move coming attractions. And then, when the movie started, the lights didn't go off. At least not all. I waited for five minutes, but nothing happened. So I went outside to find one of the guys working there and told him. Back to the movie, and 20 minutes afterwards the lights were still on. My patience was at its end by then, so I left again and told another guy. I went back in, and the lights were still on. And they remained on for the whole fucking movie. When it ended I went to speak with the manager or someone there, and they had the cheek to tell me that the lights should be on as a health and safety measure. I almost hit the poor bastard, I know an emergency light when I see it, and a whole row of lights over the screen are not emergency lights. I told him but he said that he could just apologize and there was nothing to be done. Fucking idiots.Enough ranting for one day… I'm going to see if I can find some Good Omens slash to cheer me up now.Tags:morons, rants, rlI'm feeling:bitchy
I've been seeing around ads for Supernatural, "scary just got sexy" and well, it the case of this show it's true. The funny thing is that all the pictures in the ads are of girls when the sexiest thing in the show are the two brothers, Sam and Dean. I think they would get more people to see it if they put them in the ads, after all usually the girls are the ones who get scared more easily and they are not going to attract girls with scantly clad women posing. But I'm glad they are finally showing Supernatural here, even if it's just ITV2 and not everyone gets that channel; not that I actually watch TV, but at least people will now what I'm talking about when I start ranting about how hot they are. And hopefully people will get tempted to write some Sam/Dean slash. Other thing is, I went after work to look for the wings for my costume, but unfortunately the shop was closed at the time, so now I have to either go tomorrow at lunch time, and I don't really want to do that, or go to Camdem after work and see if the other shop I found is open. Sometimes I hate my working shift. So after seeing that the shop was close I went to Forbidden Planet, big mistake thee, how I expect to save money if I can't stop buying comics. I got another two yaoi comics, and I realized that in most of them the relationship between the two characters starts with a rape. Huh? WTF? It's not the first one I read like that, so I wonder, do they think raping is that easy to forgive and a good way of starting a relationship? And what kind of person am I that I actually buy them and can't stop myself getting more and more comics.Tags:comics, rants, supernaturalI'm feeling:confused
They are giving free books at my work place today. Five huge boxes filled with books for everyone to pick one or ten if so they choose. It's one of the things I like the most about my work, the sales and free things they have from time to time. So I went to check, even if I already knew there would be no fiction books. How many diet books are out there? It's no wonder people have eating disorders and anorexia and other illness, my god, they are obsessed with weight and dieting and all that. I was surprised to see that more than half the books were diets of one or another kind. The Atkins diet, Slim for Life, how to lose weight in 48 hours, how to lose 4 pounds in one week, how to lose... whatever. I might not be the prettiest, slimmest of girls, but I can't believe how obsessed they are. We are four women in my department, out of the four I am the biggest, and the only one who is not on a diet of some kind or killing myself in the gym. Funny, being the fat one I'm the only one not worried about my body. The rest of the books were self help books, and I was having a laugh at those. How to say no... easy N-O. There was another called Death and how to get over it... well, once you're dead, you don't have to worry about it. I can't help it, I've always found self help books kind of funny and they don't help me at all.Tags:morons, rants, rlI'm feeling:working
