ash48SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Sherlock Holmes!!!! My love for RDJ know no bounds..... (oooh and Guy Ritchie)
But there's some other stuff, so:
Sherlock Holmes = \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/:D
Avatar = /o\ /o\ :(
Peeps reaction when I tell them Avatar did nothing for me = O_o
GI Joe (on DVD) = \o/ \o/ (surprisingly)
Inglorious Basterds (on DVD) = /o\ O_o (surprisingly)
Catching up with a good friend I haven't seen in a couple of years = \o/ \o/ \o/
Drinking too much when he came over = /o\ /o\ :)
Christmas = \o/ \o/
Boxing day = \o/ \o/
Getting "The Professionals" on DVD = \o/, from my hubby = \o/ \o/
Spending the last day watching it = \o/
Deciding to check the credit card balance after Christmas = /o\ /o\ *runs*
Knowing I still have 4.5 weeks holiday = \o/ \o/ \o/
Playing around in Photoshop and actually having fun with it (instead of feelings of utter frustration) = \o/ \o/
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
*huggles you all* I'm in an awesome mood now. :D

Date: 2009-12-28 06:10 am (UTC)Hmmm .... Avatar. You know, I find it difficult to articulate what it was I didn't like about it. Mostly I was just bored. I really just didn't engage with it. The story bothered me as well. I'm not sure if I'm just over the kind of human comes in to save native tribe thing or the love story. I was moved by its acknowledgment of corporate greed and lack of interest or understanding of native cultures and its referencing to the "War on Terror" etc., but I was also felt it kinda romanticised those issues somewhat. I was disappointed with the "happy ending" as well, because really there isn't a happy ending when it comes to the way we are screwing up the planet. I think it would have left a far greater impact if the humans had won. Like we do.
See what I mean? I can't really articulate it. I didn't like Titanic either - and I know a lot of people loved that. It might just be a genre thing... or a James Cameron thing...*shrugs*
No doubt the effects were spectacular. The 3D was stunning and I really felt like I was part of that world. I did love that about it.
Sorry - I blabbed. I've been analysing this film too much I think....
