Movies Revisited

some have asked how do i have so much time to work on so many quilts. well. not answering that question. but i used to go to the movies once or twice a week. i remember seeing Juno in January. (& oh yeah i did catch up on the Oscar nominees before the Oscar show aired. i do that every year. mostly i have just seen them all.) but the others i just can't remember. & after that i don't remember seeing very much.

then i just stopped going. why. because they were not sprinkling in my favorite kind of movies. until today. i had to break my movie strike. for....

Bridehead Revisited.

haaaahh. it was good.

where else can you hear someone being polite & utterly mean in the same sentence. in a good old-English-speaking-some-time-way-in-the-past movie. i hope another one comes along soon. i miss you very much.

Matthew Goode was not too bad either.

he played the cute guy on the Vespa in Chasing Liberty. (don't care it got bad reviews. i saw on t.v.).

& he played the other good looking guy in Match Point.
