Note to self...reading other people's blogs and then playing Civ3 is not the same as updating my own blog.
Yesterday I saw Porco Rosso which was a highly entertaining Studio Ghibli movie about a fighter plane pilot pig. It was really very well made and I liked it a lot. Really quite a classic story of love and loss but punctuated with silliness like the 15 five year old girls who were taken hostage by some unfortunate air pirates...then spent the whole time expolring the plane and peeking out the gun barrel and making a nuisnace of themselves. Awesome.
Then Lee, Svend and I hurried to the Embassy for De-Lovely. A fictionalised biography of Cole Porter in the form of a staged musical that gradually segues into movie. It was beautiful and well paced and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There was nothing wrong with it except that perhaps Cole Porter wasn't that nice a guy. I cried qute a lot towards the end.
Now I have to track down the soundtrack.
Yep, it was just two movies yesterday. Went to another quiz night last night and our team came fourth. Curses.
