Feb. 1st, 2009 06:42 pmBit of a whirlwind of a weekend but I got a bunch accomplished so I'm feeling good. Books brought to Book Buyers and now I have a nice fat credit account there (yay!), clothes brought to Goodwill, apartment tidied and time well spent with friends. Got to see "Slumdog Millionaire" with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cyranocyrano and all I can say is this: SEE THIS FILM. Seriously it is breathtakingly good. Those familiar with the Bollywood scene will get a few of the jokes that passed over the American audience, but you won't miss out on much even if you don't know the actors referenced. It's an amazingly well crafted story that will have you both crying and grinning, and it has the best credits I've seen. Also I'd like to shake the hand of the casting director because their casting for the kids, teens and adult versions of the three main characters were just perfect.
And, oh, the soundtrack...just...oh.
Finished up "Pushing Daisies" and all I can howl is: "NO YOU CAN'T LEAVE IT THERE!" Holy shit what a cliffhanger. Goddamn! I'm glad I went into this show knowing it was cancelled because if I'd had to deal with the pain of loss it might well have been sniper rifle and water tower time.
And I got to see the end of "Jodhaa Akbar" (many thanks toaelfsciene!) and I loved it. ( In case anyone doesn't want to be spoiled I'll stick a couple of comments back here... )
And many thanks toelo_sf for having me over to see the latest episodes of "Demons" (which sucked such ass it defies the telling of it) and "Being Human". Oh my god, "Being Human" just keeps getting better. Seriously I couldn't be more in love with this show than I am. I went nearly fetal from the absolute adorability of the relationship between Mitchell and George. I find myself totally ok with the re-casting of Mitchell and Annie, which kind of surprised me. The new Mitchell is much more nurturing, and that is not a word I usually associate with a vampire. The new Annie is sweeter and softer than the original and she won me over without even trying.
I'm very much afraid I'm going to be pimping this show pretty heavily as well, just so you know.
And finally a big thanks toreluctantgenius who taught me how to roll start a car...well, in theory anyway. Alas the car didn't actually start despite our best efforts but it was a helluva workout :) We both decided we really need to get back to exercising...
And I come home to discover a Super Bowl day House marathon, what could be cooler than that?
