You're gonna find when you grow up that big bird isn't funny (FUNNY FUNNY) UWHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Well anyway. So I watched the French film today in QFT and it was pretty good. Everyone else was saying that it sucked, but I wouldn't mind getting it on DVD if I ever saw it (unlikely, but you never know). It was this young couple, and their baby - Jimmy (who was played by about 40,000 babies, I'm serious). So he gets wind of this illegal operation, babies being sold to people who want children without the paperwork. So he sells Jimmy. He lies to the people saying that he and his girlfriend have both agreed, and so on. When she (Sonia) gets back, she's all like "Where's the child?" and he bluntly says "I sold him." which made the audience titter. Anyway so she faints. Twice in quick succession and has to go to hospital. Bruno (the dad) really does love Sonia so he sets out to get the child back. He does, and returns all the money he received - but they want double that from him, so he steals an old lady's handbag and he and his accomplice go through this elaborate set up to get away, involving a twelve year old getting hypothermia. Anyway. He goes to jail in the end, and his girlfriend (who until now didn't speak to him for pretty obvious reasons) comes to see him. It's a redemption basically, because he handed himself in. It ends with them both crying, hanging on to each others faces (literally, it's not a metaphor as you might think). I liked it, to be honest. It's just that Bruno when he was crying appeared to age about fifty years...he was supposed to be twenty, or thereabouts.

There was an introduction by a French speaker, and I understood it all by myself!! As well as bits in the film. I know know two ways of saying "it's finished" and also "Shut up", which is useful.

On Wednesdays we watch other French films. Like "A Very Long Engagement" (the film is equally as bloody long). I found out that the French title is "Un Long Dimanche de Fiancailles" (I think I spelt that last word wrong). "Les Choristes" was also really good - the music was great. I'd like that on DVD, I think. And "Les Cheveliers du Ciel" was good, although it was a bit poserish. "Mon Pére Ce Hero" was wierd - Gerard Depardieu was in it. Sarah once asked me who I'd like to go out with better, Gerard Depardieu or Ewan McGregor and I was all like "Well out of THAT paring, probably McGregor." Turns out my foolish friend mean Gerard Butler, who I would choose over McGregor.

Hehehe Chiara was kind enough to order "Dracula 2001" for me from Amazon. THANK YOU CHIAWA!!!! So I'm going to go shopping for presents tomorrow and pay her when I see her. Heheh. I like that movie: admittedly it's not the best vampire film I've seen - that was "The Lost Boys" - but I like it. Anyone else like it????

I saw a really melodramatic version of Dracula. They got all the names mixed up. In the books Lucy was killed, and she was Lucy Westenra. Mina was the one Dracula chose, wasn't it? And she was Mina Murray, NOT Mina Van Helsing. Well in this film it was Mina VAN HELSING that got killed off in place of Lucy, and Lucy that got picked out by Dracula. Although the Van Helsing connection worked, even if it was Mina, because Laurence Olivier was superb in it. Well I liked it, Frank Lagella as Dracula. Like I said, it was really melodramatic, but it was good anyway.

I think it was that version my mum and her friend were watching when they were teenagers, getting scared, when the doorbell rang and they flew upstairs...

Okay. Anyone seen Marie Antoinette? What's it like???

If anyone comes to Belfast ever in their life, go to QFT because it's a good little place. It's not a standerd cinema: it's part of the Queen's University complex, but you don't have to be a student to go. Foreign films are on show there all the time, and so on. There's a bar as well, for a pre show drink. Lol. Although I didn't get any today, coz I'm only a likle student.

There was such a hot guy there (sorry Chiara) with long hair and a good French accent, but I didn't get to speak to him...>_>
