Watched Head in the Clouds on vcd last nite using sis's notebook,even though i am not in the mood to go and watch it, but hey, i made myself spend $3 to rent the vcd for one day. If i rent it at Video Ezy Siglap, i can rent the code 1 dvd at only $5 for 7 days, but nah, dvd player not working, so stick to vcd.
An indeed, Clouds is a substitute of Colour Blossoms, except that such kind of arthouse turn porno flick is just like cigarettes: it comes in mild and strong taste. Cloud brand taste mild, while those who wants a stronger taste would definitely love Colour brand. Just like cigarettes, some of the elements can makes one addicted to it, even though it smells and bad for health.
The cloud brand cigs gets me a bit addicted, but i can kick that easily, cos it does not taste that good after all. Set in early 1920's to after WW2, it is a romantic war drama like ya usual doze of such historical war drama ala Cold Mountain, English Patient or even Malena, with an element of Philip Kaufman's Henry and June blended in: Charlise Theron and Stuart Townsend were in love since they live in England. When she moves to Paris, she invites him to live with her after she becomes a well known arthouse photographer, and invites him to watch her exhibition. There's where they get to know Penelope Cruz, a model who works for Theron. The 3 lives together and engaged in sexual relationships.
The Germans invaded Paris and Madrid just like that suddenly, and both Townsend and Cruz went to the frontline: one a soldier, another nurse. Theron slept with different German generals just like that, so suddenly. Townsend becomes a member of underground rebel fighting against the Nazis just like that suddenly, after Cruz just get killed in an explosion like that, so suddenly. Townsend loves Theron, while later she realised that the person who loves her most was Cruz and it ends abruptly.
Orgies, nudity, lesbo sex, SM mades up disc 1, with disc 2 talking about the war suddenly. So, you get a very cloudy movie. Oh yeah, know the tagline of the film? Three Lives, One Destiny, and that makes up a 124min movie. Wait, the vcd itself states that the film is 121min, but the total duration is less than 121 mins! Theron should have stick to Aileen Wurnos, Cruz can do better in European films, and Townsend? he should try some other types of film if he do not want to be named a B actor, which pulls his gf Theron's name down.
And i just saw things i shouldn't have seen online: part of the ending of Star Wars Ep 3: Revenge of the Sith! OMG! It's better that i keep it myself, than placing it down here...
And i do not know from when onwards, i am addicted to Scoopz Ice cream turnover: if u ever been to the small ice cream parlour at Parkway Parade, besides MPH, you knw that's Scoopz, where the made ice creams fresh from the freezer pan. Their ice cream turnover is an large scoop of ice cream of your choice stuffed in a hamburger bun, and heat it with a sandwich maker. The outside hot and inside cold feeling was simply irresitable, and so i tried making it at home: heat up the bun and scoop a large scoop of chocolate ice cream (and i stuffed in a slice of Oreo yesterday) and serve it immediately. Oh...love it so much, but looks like i am getting fat soon if i do not burn off the excess calories.
Sianz...going to school for no reason tomorrow, just to see our CS2 paper...
