Sep. 8th, 2005 09:48 amIs there a better feeling than this - done some packing which should make me less stressed later on. It's not the clothes that are the problem, it's the paper I've accumulated, and there's football on the TV now.
Ian Wright is such a proud papa.
Admittedly Austria are now out of the running for getting into the 2006 World Cup. Bother! This means I switch to Italy, who will then break my heart. Again! Really.
Come on Northern Ireland. Sorry, I'm incapable of cheering for England. Plus, Maik Taylor has his two sons as mascots. BTW Eldest Beckham boy, Brooklyn?, looks so much like his Dad.
Bloody hell, there's a minutes silence at a football match actually being totally kept.
OMG what a match. Well done Northern Ireland.
Ring of Fire is on tomorrow. And it's not as bad as I say it is. In fact there is one brilliant scene. Oh and spoiler, if I have to put spoiler warnings on a three year old film.
Every night, Christian Bale's character makes the children recite a 'how to survive dragons' variation on the Lord's prayer. He and his best friend tell stories at night, blatently based on Star Wars (in another really good scene). The dragons get his friend but the children get rescued. Christian Bale (and the only speaking female character) have them in a room and he's getting them to say it, and he's trying to say it with them but he can't because he can't stop crying. But, and this adds to it, he doesn't stop trying to say it. But he literally can't.
It's a good example of showing not telling, there's no big speech about how much the friend means, there's just the only time in the film where Quinn deviates from his rules.
