Cold Mountain

07.09.04 (8:53 am) [edit]

Just when i thought my day couldn't get any worse, i've just had to sit through nearly 2 and a half hours of one of the worst films ever. The book of Cold Mountain was okay - i wouldn't say it made my top 100 of books - but it was better than Captain Correlli's Mandolin, which made my top 5 of worst books ever read. The reason for watching this dire film - A. thought i was peed off with him about the PS2 playing so he thought i would like to watch it. This is the DVD that i told him not to buy because it looked bad but he wanted to see it - so i got to suffer. My request to watch Freddy v. Jason was met by a blank stare and " you are joking, aren't you? " Well, no, i wasn't actually!
Do you know, in this house there are about 500 DVD's, of which probably 100 are mine. How many of my films have i seen? Last count showed it to be approximately 15 - out of 100. Grrrrrrrr :x

Now that sounds better!! Apparently, i shouldn't complain though because i got to watch half of Nightmare on Elm Street last night on Channel 5.

Grrrr - y'know what we should do? me n' mike should swap for a long weekend....you get me, mike gets A. - they can play ps2/gamecube/pc 10 hrs straight, and we can catalogue your books and watch freddy and jason to our hearts' content...everyone's happy!

That is a fantastic idea!! However, i wouldn't inflict A. on Mike for a whole weekend - it might be more than he can take!

Thanks for the warning, I hate chick flicks. Give me blood and guts anyday. Underworld if fantastic, lots of action and good looking men and women in outfits to droll for.

I loathe most chick flicks with a passion but for some reason my boyfriend has this unexplainable fascination with them so i get to see just about every single one going! Just been informed that tomorrow afternoon's matinee is Calendar Girls! Grrrrrr - why can't he like horror films?

I got dragged to Calendar Girls, it's not as bad as most.

Well, i never got to see Calendar Girls - awwww. Hang on, there's still time, it's earlier than i thought. instead, i've been treated to Cricket 2004 on PS2. I don't know which is better!
