flicks at home!

flicks.jpg At last!

About a month ago our local dvd rental place closed down, to our dismay. As I have no doubt mentioned before, there are very few films shown at the cinemas in Sevilla in original version so we usually have to wait until they are released on dvd as we refuse to watch dubbed films.

So today I had a google around and found a Spanish company that offers home dvd pick up & delivery – and they also offer a 15-day free trial period so we decided to go for it.

And so any film suggestions would be much appreciated. 🙂

see saw?

hacksaw.gifI don’t think I will . . .

According to this Grauniad article some people in the UK have required emergency medical treatment as a result of watching this film. Could this be true or do you think it’s some sort of ‘Halloween prank’ article?

I thought the original Saw was just another of those low-budget farcical over-the-top horror flicks. And now they’ve made three of them. What do you think the moral issues (if any) are about promoting films that show extremely graphic torture scenes?

hot sex?

cover-clip-hot-sex.jpg From this morning’s Grauniad. . .

“If sex – or rather, the lack of sex – in long-term relationships isn’t a hot topic, it’s because no one dares talk about it. Or admit to it. Until now …”

It’s rather a long article and I think some of it is kinda crap, but there are some interesting ideas in it nevertheless.

What do you think?

fashion police

fashionpolice.jpg Don’t you sometimes wish they existed? 😉

Nog and I were out shopping earlier today and, being a Saturday morning, there were lots of weddings going on. This caused a few comments from my own inner fashion policewoman upon seeing what many of these people were wearing – especially as a lot of time, money and effort had obviously been spent on some of these ghastly ensembles. Later on we stopped for a cold beer outside on a terrace near a small church where we were treated to a fashion victim show as wedding guests paraded past us.

I honestly did not see one woman who looked genuinely stylish and attractive in her outfit. Mostly it was a sad array of unfortunate hats (prompting Nog to wonder aloud if there was actually a silly hat contest going on), unflattering dresses with mis-matched shoes and gawd-awful accessories, all of which raised the obvious question . . . why???

The general public fared slightly better, though one man wearing raspberry coloured trousers really should not have been allowed out of the house, likewise another guy we saw in a mauve shirt and pale pink trousers … gaaa! Nog commented that at least I was luckier than him as I was wearing sunglasses and said being colour blind (as he is) was sometimes a blessing. But even Mr Pink & Mauve made him wince.

So . . . why??? Why do so many people dress so badly?

Surely this is child abuse, at the very least. Imagine these kids in twenty years time … an American version of al Quaeda (with access to nuclear weapons!).
