Absolutely nothing. I had rehearsal (where I had to sing and as we all know, I don't sing outside of the shower). Alas, the only thing coming out this week is The Avengers, which I'll be watching with my friends next Tuesday. I can't wait to see evil Tom Hiddleston all over again.
Video of the week...
I'm sorry but font jokes always get me going. The way to my heart is probably via a font joke.
Links...
Andrew's 90s performances tournament is going on...remember LEONARDO DICAPRIO and RALPH FIENNES!!!!!
Sati takes a look at rising star Juno Temple, who I've always had a soft spot for.
Stephanie reviews the brilliant We Need to Talk About Kevin from a parental point of view. I definitely don't think I'll be watching this when I have kids.
Andy has been telling us all about his experiences at the Melbourne International Film Festival (man, I miss Melbourne!!), starting his diary here.
It was Nikhat's birthday too last week - if you haven't already, go wish her a belated happy birthday!
Lesya's Speechless Blogathon went on air last week, and although I unfortunately couldn't take part in it, it was cool to the amount of people that did.
It seems that Mette was one of the few people who really liked Cosmopolis. I'm still holding out a little hope for it.
Diana got to see On the Road a little while back, a film which she was looking forward to very much.
I haven't yet seen Bacholerette (though I desperately want to), but over at The Film Experience, the writer/director Leslye Headland was guest blogging and she did a marvellous post called "Growing Up Cinephile". One day when I'm old enough, I'm going to do this.
And for something random but extremely cool, here is a cool presentation that explains Inception. Even though after 17 watches I have it all pretty well explained, this was awesome to tinker with.
Final word...
Favourite silent film?
Bachelorette is AMAZING! It's like Mean Girls grown up. I've watched it twice already- "We gave up strip clubs for Lent." :')
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm still into Cosmopolis too. Let's see how it fares.
Thanks for the link :)
And ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG THE AVENGERS DVD IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!
DeleteI can't wait to see Bachelorette! It looks like so much fun. Kiki, Isla and Lizzy - OMGGGGGGGG!
DeleteWe'll have to see how Cosmopolis goes.
AH YAY THE AVENGERS! PARTY TIME AT MY HOUSE!
I love City Lights. That is my favourite silent film
ReplyDeleteI love love love City Lights. What an amazing film.
DeleteHa. I like the video, nothing is as funny as leaving Avatar's font unchanged.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that's the best one.
DeleteIf you miss Melbourne so much then you'll just have to come back one day :P
ReplyDeleteI will! I would so come this year but of course, I'm going to Japan. Some time soon, though!
DeleteCity Lights. Definitely my favorite silent film.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful film, isn't it?
DeleteMetropolis is my favorite silent film. It's one of my all-time favorites actually.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that, but I really want to!
DeleteMy favourite silent film? Silence Of The Lambs. Okay, unfunny joke there. Silent Of The Lambs with Comic Sans font?
ReplyDeleteHaven't really seen much silent films so can't really judge but I gonna go with a recent one... The Illusionist.
Hahahaha, I would love to see Silence of the Lambs with Comic Sans font.
DeleteThe Illusionist and The Artist.
ReplyDelete:O How did I not know that The Illusionist is a silent film? Silly me. I must see it.
DeleteThe Illusionist isn't a silent film there's just no dialogue
DeleteMy favorite silent film right now is Modern Times by Charles Chaplin.
ReplyDeleteI do love Modern Times. Chaplin was a funny guy.
DeleteI enjoy a lot of Silent Films. Fav. Chaplin film is Modern Times, fav. Keaton film is The General. I also adore Nosferatu, The Man With A Movie Camera and The Passion of Joan of Arc. I'm going to go with Modern Times. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link :-)
I love Modern Times! And Nosferatu. Haven't seen the rest, though. I have some watching to do.
DeleteI vote for City Lights. :-) Thank you for the link -- I am honored. I always enjoy linky posts. I always discover at least one or two great new-to-me bloggers.
ReplyDeleteCity Lights is great! You're welcome. I love link posts, too!
DeleteAlso loved the Growing Up Cinephile post at The Film Experience :). Favorite silent film is a tough one. Pretty close tie between City Lights and The Gold Rush. I think I would give the edge to City Lights, though. The Passion Of Joan Of Arc is also amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great read, wasn't it? I still have to see The Gold Rush and The Passion of Joan of Arc. City Lights is beautiful, though!
DeleteWow loads to catch up on!!
ReplyDeleteHow you doing Stevee, long time no speak
Yay, you're back!
DeleteYes, long time no speak. I'm doing fine. I trust you had a great holiday?
Favourite silent film? But I've seen... I don't know, hundreds of the things.
ReplyDeleteCity Lights.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen too many silent films, but City Lights is indeed wonderful! Thanks for the link, BTW, you're lovely!
