pmsumner at 11:04pm on 24/10/2005Firstly is Friday and Saturday. Secondly is Sunday. Thirdly is today.
Firstly. Friday evening I went straight from work to do a Gapburger, it had a nice premium and whilst not right on my path home, is very close to it. Home, wait for Jane and open a nice bottle of wine. Yum. Saturday I worked (boo), took Jane to the UGC Cinema in Sheffield to buy some Unlimited passes. Unfortunately Jane didn't have any address proof with her so couldn't get it, but considering it took the guy just short of half-an-hour to process my request for the pass, I'm glad.
We saw The Corpse Bride. I don't know whether it was good, or whether it was just OK. The storyline felt weak, and I couldn't tell where it was being targeted - kids or adults. It seemed to sit half-way between the two and not succeed terribly well at either.
Having said that, it was fun and I did enjoy it.
Sunday was Northampton. Huzzah. Drove down, met Emma (who was lovely as always), went and bought beer, wine and chips/dips, waited for Adrian, drank wine, laughed. Got taxi to town centre where there was a small unimpressive looking curry house. About 20 people turned up in all for Adrian's do and we had a great time - the food was fabulous and the company was (mostly) fun. Adrian ended up with at least 6 bottles of various alcoholic things and plenty of very silly stuff!
We then moved to a pub where we lost the majority of the people. Then back to Em's where Apfelkorn was drunk, a wine glass was broken and laughter was to be had. Poor Em can't handle her drink and ended up in a right state ;)
Everyone vanished to bed about midnight. I stayed up watching Black Books until 2am - can't deal with going to bed so soon after having drunk so much.
Monday - I woke up early - ended up watching the Batman film on C4 which was absolutely crap until Jane and Em surfaced, both looking rough and breakfast was had at Morrisons. Drove home, leaving Em to go back to bed and Jane left fairly sharpish. I couldn't cope with being at home so went back to the cinema and watched "Broken Flowers" with my pass.
Really enjoyed it. Bill Murray has a certain something about him that fits him in films that move slowly very well. It's another film a bit like a History of Violence - fairly slow moving, lots happening with the dialogue, scenery and the camerawork. The cinematography in Broken Flowers is astonishing. You get completely absorbed into being Don, following him on his quest around the country - seeing what he sees.
It ends in somewhat of an abrupt fashion, and I'm still not entirely sure what I'm supposed to have left feeling.
