Day 3- Friends are awesome, men are wankers!



But not mine though!  figured I best just state that before I get shouted at ;)


I currently have both my house mates crying because men don't understand a good thing when they've got it.  I'm not going to go onto details for both there sakes but seriously, there both amazing people who don't deserve to be in tears right now.  I have spent my day making sure there OK, or trying to.  This is very new to me, I have never lived with girls before or had to deal with this stuff, I'm generally one of the lads, but I'm trying my best, these girls mean the world to me and its horrible not being able to make them feel better, I just hope I'm doing an OK job.


Other then that I am finishing off an application form, getting things sorted for something I cant tell you about just yet.....and watching Casablanca!  I've never seen it before, it is a beautiful film.  Humphrey Bogart is amazing, he really is a unique character, so cool and manly and yet romantic, I can see why all the ladies swooned, why don't people dress like that any more!  



That amazing white suit!

The hats and coats are amazing, I love the scene in Paris when he's getting rained on and its pouring off his hat, it looks amazing


I also love how the women's dresses sparkle through the black and white, and how beautifully and put together Ingrid Bergman looks in every shot

Quote of the Day: " Ilsa: I wasn't sure you were the same. Let's see, the last time we met... 
Rick: Was La Belle Aurore. 
Ilsa: How nice, you remembered. But of course, that was the day the Germans marched into Paris. 
Rick: Not an easy day to forget. 
Ilsa: No. 
Rick: I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue. 

Lyric of the day: "You must remember this , A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh. , The fundamental things apply , As time goes by."

The Odeon and the Alice

Hey guy’s,

Just a quick one as I’ve just got back from a long day at work and I have an to be at work at 8 tomorrow for a 13 hour day *cries*

Anyway so there’s been allot of talk about this going round at work so I thought I’d bring it up with you guys. The topic being the boycott of the new Alice in Wonderland by Odeon and other major cinema chains.

For those of you that are not aware, many British Cinema’s, namely the Odeon chain, are not playing the new Alice in Wonderland film because Disney have shortened the DVD release time from the usual 17 to 3 months. Odeon basically are opposed to this as they think it will cut into their cinema sales as people could just wait for the DVD release and they can’t play it at the cinema for as long. They also fear that other companies will follow suit, leading to the downfall of British Cinema going in favour of waiting for DVD releases.

The conversations I’ve had seem to be split into two camps, people who believe that its Disney film and they can basically do what the hell they want with it, plus those who want to see it will go elsewhere. (For instance where I live in Lincoln only has one cinema, and that’s an Odeon, which means I will have to travel to Sheffield to go and see it and I won’t be able to see it on the release date as I’m working till late). Others seem to think that it’s just a case of Disney being unnecessarily greedy. I’m not sure, what do you guy’s reckon?

The only other thing that’s irritating me about this film is the total overkill of merchandise before the film coming out. In particular the range at Claire’s accessories, all of which is focused on Jonny Depp, not an Alice in site!

However I am still totally looking forward to this film! I just hope it lives up to the hype!
