this will be a movie entry.

watched Last Life In The Universe last night. as well as a couple of films over the past few days. rented and watched Raising Victor Vargas and The Motorcycle Diaries. and thus, am currently rather interested in El Che now. makes international history come alive, doesn't it [although it really has nothing to do with globalization at the moment, but still]. maybe i should watch more history films, like the one about the CMC with Kevin Kostner in it. but my IH is okay. it's my SEA that's a problem - are there any movies that are about SEA history?

i bought the Nobody Knows dvd [because i had to own it] and Apocalypse Now Redux dvd from my trip to borders today. looking forward to watching Apocalypse Now. i still have 2046 and A Streetcar Named Desire to watch, which i rented.

Last Life In The Universe was a very puzzling movie. i didn't really understand what was going on. beautifully shot, yes. and you get hints of what is happening but most of the time it's painfully ambiguous. yuehan says he prefers it this way, that 'uncertainty is beautiful' but i find i'm the sort of person who just has to know what's going on in a film. i can't stand not knowing, i can't stand it.

also rented and watched some of Pretty Woman. i say some because i was so bored halfway i stopped watching. it is warped and unromantic. i do not understand the hype at all. i also found My Best Friend's Wedding rather boring when i watched it with bea last week. there she was crying and crying and i just thought Julianne was scheming and mean and Dermot Mulroney was a rather unattractive pick for the role. i used to cry buckets when i watched that movie. i guess it all depends on the mood.

oh, and i must finish up The Godfather trilogy. i still have the final instalment to watch. Godfather trilogy or LOTR? i pick Godfather. frankly LOTR bores me. but anyway.

i must start studying soon. full force. i'm beginning to feel a little better, despite things still being in a mess. but as long as i feel better about it - that's the first step. i think it's the chocolate-coated gummies i am consuming right now, frankly. sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdities of life, or else it'll kill you.
