Busy Beans Been Busy. Beans.
Today's been very active so far and I've not even had breakfast yet, heh.

Although I'll go over yesterday first, seeing as that happened 24 hours in advance and has been waiting patiently to have its story told.

Superhero Sunday
I woke up a lot later than I'd anticipated needing to, leaving very little time after having checked OB to get ready to see The Incredibles. But we were only five minutes late leaving and still got there in plenty of time.

There's a certain air about the cinemas that's just so... immersive. It almost overwhelms you- as soon as you walk in, it's there: plush, colourful carpets, huge walls, big screens with trailers, pick and mix... it's such a wholesome, warm feeling. Even the archaic New Park Theatre at the other end of Chichester has an edge to it's atmosphere, even though you could easily mistake it for an old village hall. I guess that may come from the experience of having watched and enjoyed films in there, though, rather than the place itself. Or the soundproofing. But still, I like it ^_^

The Incredibles is fantastic. I'd be hard-pushed to say it's better than Finding Nemo, but I felt that some of the messages in the film were far more realistic. The nice thing about it was that it wasn't schmulzy, even though it was aimed at kids. There were never any points where I felt like gagging through saccharin dialogue or crummy plot twists. And the darker elements of the film were very effective. SPOILER --> Specifically the parts where Mr. Incredible finds the body of GazorBeam, and when he's looking through the data files on the super heroes used to test the big android thing, all of whom came up as 'TERMINATED'. Very very good stuff.

Mum really enjoyed it, too. I think she needed to get out of the house and I think she'll be more willing to go and see films in future- I think that must have been the first time she'd been to a cinema since Shrek, which is quite a long time.

Next films for me to see will probably be House of Flying Daggers, Phantom of the Opera, The Merchant of Venice and The Spongebob Squarepants movie, heh. I missed my chance at seeing Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Hero, unfortunately. DVD viewing for me, then.

Speaking of which...
I've been needing to go into town for some time now, but today's been the only day I've had enough time free to do it. On my list were:

-Gloves
-Shoes
-Socks
-Jumper
-I, Robot DVD
-Anything else of interest.


All of the above I managed to procure- I did in fact get two jumpers; one fashionable and warm, the other practical and warm. 'Anything else of interest' happened to comprise of a second-hand copy of Perimeter for the PC, George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, the Shrek 2 soundtrack and Minority Report, which came in a nifty boxed set with I, Robot. ^_^;

Oh, and I got and a leather wristband with three rwos of metal pyramids on it, heh. The guy in the store gave me £5 off, which was lovely of him ^_^

Now I must lunch. My hungry sense is tingling...
