Rango!

I know it might be considered a childish movie but I must admit... It was good. I watched it in lack of anything else at first and it just got interesting after a while. And really, it's not such a big deal to like animated cartoons either, not that I watch a lot of them but this one was good. I like Johnny Depps voice because he can sort of act with it. The creatures looked very good and the story wasn't bad either. I wouldn't recommend it to "adults" (or rather, people who stopped watching cartoons a while ago) just like that but if anyone younger want's to go to the movies to see it, come with them because it's definitely better than some of the movies for children these days.
I've also watched "Fitzcarraldo" this week or if it was the one before. Time just flies by. Anyway, "Fitzcarraldo" is apparently based on a true story, according to imdb, and it's about a man called Fitzcarrldo who loves opera and not only that but he desperately want to build an operahouse  in the jungle. The problem is he needs money and he has a extraordinary idea on how to make that money...
The movie is quite long, 158 minutes (again, one has to love imdb), but it also has quite a slow pace so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who would rather watch a fast paced action movie It's both written and directed by Werner Herzog whom also directed and wrote "Nosferatu" from 1979 (not the original that is). Oh, and one more thing, if you read anything else about "Fitzcarraldo" it'll probably be a spoiler, you have been warned.

Writer's block

It seems it's here again... The feared writer´s block. And no, it's not the usual "I don't know what to write", not, that would be to easy. It's the dreaded "I know exactly what to write, I have around ten things to write, I know where they are all going but when I open the document there is a block"-writer´s block. It's so real I can almost touch it. I don't know why because I started on them not to long ago and I really want to write on them but I can't! It's not good, I'm breaking a little bit inside every time I have to close it again without getting even the slightest sentence or even word written down. It's so frustrating! I know where I want them but they're not going to write themselves there now are they? Tips anyone? should I force myself to continue or... Kill my darlings? No, I couldn't possibly....  I really am desperate. Even if they aren't here I still know it would happen again.

Valentines Day!

Yay...

It's not a real holiday and yet no school for my sister, is that unfair or what? Although she bought me candy so it might weight up. I've thought about... Well, I didn't actually, it just popped up, I should write something about the movies I'm watching and have watched. Maybe not much, perhaps only a comment to help me remember them but still, something. If I try hard I might even be able to do it in like 1/20 times... If I do I believe I should start. Perhaps tomorr-today... Today.. ok. After I finish my chocolate. Maybe...
Happy new year a bit to late and bye :)
