Last post of the year...

I watched 2 movies today, since my father went and rented so many dvds. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was obviously the better one. it stayed true to the book and Johnny Depp was entertainingly funny, sinister, and kuku. I admire him for the time he spent preparing for this role. I suspect he camped outside Michael Jackson's house with a pair of binoculars.

Now, the crappy movie was House of Flying Daggers. It started out ok, and the costumes and scenary were very nice. I mean scenary in the normal layman sense of the word, not the way christianne would take it. the actors were ugly or sissy or both. The real problem comes with indecision. These are a list of things they could not decide on.

1. Disability/Ability
a. Girl cannot decide whether she is blind or not. When it turns out she can see, she still has the stoned look. Producer probably made that up to explain zhang ziyi's bad acting
b, girl cannot decide whether she is kungfu master or not. Therefore, she can tell which peanut hit which drum, but not save herself from a pervert

2. Urge to reproduce: Characters attempt to mate with blind/not blind girl 3 times before she actually does it with the sissy guy

3. State of life: Girl gets stabbed in the heart with flying dagger from houseman of flying daggers. wakes up 3 times to
a. realise her sissy boyfriend came back
b. realise there was snow falling on her face
c. throw another flying dagger to save aforementioned boyfriend

then she dies
