The story of a bored individual...

I went to the cinema yesterday and saw The Dark Knight with beluga, P, laraneia and isil80.
Sadly we ended up almost at the last row in the back of the cinema, which makes it at bit easier to be distracted from the screen. Beluga and I had two brats sitting behind us,that loved to giggle, talk and kick the seats. To either side of us on our row there were people who pulled out their cell phones during the film, and there was one woman in front of me who seemed to have her phone out and was texting constantly throughout the film. I wanted to hand them all over to The Joker and let him have some fun with them.
Though all this was very distracting while watching the film, I have tried to gather my thoughts and here's some of them.

 Spoiler free.

 

Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment Tuesday afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment's bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence's housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse's arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times at first stated that the apartment in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a publicist for the actress later said that Olsen did not own a unit in the building in which Ledger was found. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger's body. A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain. Engaged at one time to Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams, the two had a daughter but had split in recent months. Earlier this year, Ledger wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer. Further details of the actor's death were not available at press time. --IMDb staff

I didn't know what to expect from Ang Lee's upcoming gay cowboy drama BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. Well, that's not exactly true. I expected a couple of cowboys and I expected them to be gay. Other than that, however, I wasn't sure what to expect. Having just seen the trailer, though, I have to say it looks pretty damn interesting. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger look like they put in some pretty terrific performances. In fact, Michelle Williams and Anne Hathway also look like they put in some great supporting work. I'm sure I'll still be appropriately disturbed at seeing Gyllenhaal and Ledger make out and be all "lovey dovey" but the overall quality of the movie should make up for that. The trailer premiered on CNN over HERE but it's in very slow streaming Windows Media. So, I found a relatively decent Real Player stream over HERE. If those won't cut it, though, the boys over at Twitch have their own decent quality video over HERE or a website that's featuring it in Quicktime HERE. It opens December 9th.

Am watching The Three Musketeers, and figured I should update my LJ. Hmmm, did you know Kiefer Sutherland was born in London, England, UK ? That's news to me. I was just getting over that the screaching guy (Girard) who is swordfighting with D'Artagnan in the opening scene is Paul McGann. *snigger*

Porthos: He thinks he can challenge the mighty Porthos with a sword...
D'Artagnan: The mighty who?
Porthos: Don't tell me you've never heard of me.
D'Artagnan: The world's biggest windbag?
Porthos: Little pimple... meet me behind the Luxembourg at 1 o'clock and bring a long wooden box.
D'Artagnan: Bring your own...

Okay, lemme see. Oh! I've had some freaky dreams. The night before Benedicte and Nina were coming I dreamt that I went online at about 1400 o'clock and then I saw that Benedicte came online. I was so confused and asked her why she was still at home, and she simply replied that they'd changed their minds and decided to stay at her house. It felt so real, it was insane.

Now, I understand that dream. I was really looking forward to their visit, and I kept having the feeling that they would cancel. I'm usually right when I have that feeling, but was very happy to be wrong this time.

Second dream was horrible. When I was in grade school I had a horrible teacher who was a tyrrant, and would basically tell us we were no good if we answered a question wrong, and she was pissy all the time.

Anyways I dreamt that I was back at school for the first day of classes, and we get the message that the teacher we were supposed to have has taken a sabatical (or some such), and that we would get a new one. Two seconds later, the evil bitch of doom Synnøve enters the room, she sees me and gives me a little nod, and I could just see the devils in her eyes. That was horrbile. I still feel nervous when I see a car that looks like the one she had. Now, I haven't seen the woman in 11 years, so you can tell she left a lasting impression.

On Wednesday Benedicte and Nina were coming for a visit. They had to drive all the way from Oslo, so it would take a few hours. I expected them about 1400/1500. Got a message at about 1530 saying they were about an hour away, so mum and I headed out, we were at the zoo waiting for them at about 1630. I ended up calling them cos after a while I'm getting a bit worried. And I get Nina on the phone.

Nina: Yeah, we're really close, like 4 km.

Me: Oh, cool. Do you know what it's called where you are?

Nina: Arendal.

Me: Ah... that's about an hour away.

Silly confused girls. Heh. Anyways, they finally came a little before 1730, I jumped in the car with them and showed them the way to the house, while mom followed in her car. Mom had made some of her jummy, jummy lasagna. It was a big hit. We took it easy a little while, so the girls could get their bearings, before we headed out to sea in our boat. It was very nice, the sea was calm, and we just took it easy. Headed in to the city and docked there, and met beluga. Followed her up into town so she could have somme dinner after work, 20 mins she said.. but it was quite a bit longer than that. After that we all headed to a cafe, so the girls could get something to drink. It was getting a bit dark, so I got a worried phone call from mum. She wanted us back home. The girls finished their drinks and we headed back. It was pretty dark out on the ocean, I couldn't see much, luckely I knew where I should aim the boat, so we got home safely.

We sat up talking, after a while beluga  decided to stay over too, so I had make her a bed. Was the most logical thing to do as we stayed up talking till 0200. We were all rather tired and crashed in to bed.

Next day we got up at about 1000. Mum made us a big breakfast as Benedicte and Nina wouldn't be staying for dinner. After breakfast we had a quick trip to the shop so Nina and Benedicte could buy flowers that they gave to my parents. Very sweet of them. :)

Then we finally headed out, had a quick stop in the city to show them the beach, before we headed to the zoo. I had some 'free' tickets that I gave them, as I didn't want them to have to pay 250kr to get in. beluga  was with us for a little while before she had to head off for work. After she left Benedicte, Nina and I just walked around looking at the animals. Had some trips in the ridea as well, but we mainly stuck to looking at the animals. The wolverine popped by to say hi when we were up there, we also got to see the lynx, but sadly the wolves had decided to hide.

Benedicte and Nina had originally planned to leave at about 1500, but they didn't get into the car until about 1630. We said out good byes and they were on their merry way back to Oslo. I went back home and spent the rest of the day on the couch, was very tired.

Donnie Darko star Jake Gyllenhaal was left in pain after shooting gay love scenes with Heath Ledger in new movie Brokeback Mountain. The pair play cowboys who fall in love in the western - and Gyllenhaal found the shoot particularly punishing. He says, "Heath almost broke my nose in (a kissing) scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the sh*t beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one."

Plot summary: A raw, powerful story of two young men, a Wyoming ranch hand and a Texas rodeo cowboy, who meet in the summer of 1963 sheepherding in the harsh, high grasslands of contemporary Wyoming and form an unorthodox yet life-long bond--by turns ecstatic, bitter and conflicted.

 

There's no release date yet, but am looking forward to it.
