fightingthecage: (Footy - Wayne)


I an so glad that it's tonight the clocks go forward and not tomorrow, like my calendar says. Is it just me, or does it normally happen on a Sunday though? Whatever, I'm not complaining.

Ha! Oxford won the boatrace by a mile. Kickass. And Man. Utd annihilated Aston Villa 4-0 so double kickass.

I so had a thing to say but I have completely forgotten. Um. No, nothing. I must shower and sleep as it is sort-of half past midnight now (I changed the clocks already because otherwise I'll forget) and...oh, I remembered! It's nothing of any great note, just that I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today, which I was very chuffed about as I've wanted to see it since it first came out and it was one of my favourite books as a child. On the whole, it was OK, I thought. It was pretty faithful to the book - apart from the random flashbacks into WW's life - most of the way through and that was awesome. But then, what the hell was up with the ending? Random WW and his father reunion? WW not liking kids and asking Charlie to leave his family? NO NO NO NO NO! Book!Wonka was great with kids and although Johnny Depp played him nice and eccentric, it was creepy eccentric not manic eccentric the way it should have been. That spoiled it a bit (and the fact that I spent the entire movie trying to work out where I'd seen the kid who played Charlie before) but I liked the factory and the awful kids and on the whole, enjoyable viewing. Lacking energy, but still OK.

My English teacher looks like an Oompa-Loompa, only with blond hair. This is vaguely disturbing.

And on that bombshell, I'm crashing.
