Pan’s Labyrinth

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Oh my. It was really, really good. Wow! Probably the best film I’ve seen this year. You know when a film comes along and you know instantly that you’re going to love it, well that’s Pan’s Labyrinth for me. After seeing something so original and innovative, it makes you realise how much fucking shit comes out of Hollywood, God it should all be banned. It’s alright, I mean, all these blockbusters, superheroes, action, hot stars and all that, it’s fine but there’s so many poor quality films being made at the moment with shit acting, shit dialogue, shit shit shit direction, no original storylines, no original anything. And that pisses me right off! Then something like Pan’s Labyrinth comes along and it’s like…nothing I’ve ever seen before! Gosh it was beautiful. Gosh. It was violent, scary, bloody, and it had a magical faun in it for Christ’s sake! And fairies.. I never expected it to be so violent. On one hand you’ve got the Spanish Civil War and a fascist captain who likes to belittle his peers and torture his enemies, and running along side it you’ve got this gothic fairytale world with a faun named Pan and, and…it’s a propa juxtaposition, like. Hehe.

The end was very sad. Big fat metaphors, loved it.

There should be more films like this. x

I am feeling like crap. But once this afternoon is over I’ll be better. Presentation, stress. Nerves. I’m sick to the stomach for reasons I’m unsure about. My affairs are in a mess. I need food, I need to clean the flat, I need to do washing, hoover my room sort my head out and save the world. All by the end of today. Too much to ask perhaps.
It’s all worrying me somewhat.

All in all not really that great. But there you go, that’s life. No doubt I’ll be top of my game in a week or so.

Sigh. Still missing the whole piano thing. When I do work at home I like to break it up into sizeable chunks by playing the piano now and then. Makes it a whole lot bearable. Here - no. No piano. CRAP! I’m going to start throwing things around soon. Probably my sketchbook/mouse/phone. I’m such a baby aren’t I. Maybe I should just give it all up as a bad idea and OH FUCK I’ve just remembered I’ve forgotton my thoery book so I can’t even learn the stuff you don’t need a fucking piano for. Christ..

PS. I won’t actually give up. I was just being dramatic. I would never!
