About the music: all the songs are just examples of cliché French pop. As I grew up in a very French style society, I got quite fed-up with this kind of corny music. The French can be the greatest, music-wise, but when it comes to Pop, they should stop imitating the Americans. French Folk Rock was certainly the root of all the songs in the film, but this "American Pop" arrangement ruined it. That's without talking about the lyrics... Very bad lyrics: "I want to taste your saliva, and let its poison go through me" or "The worm of the apple may go through your teeth and rot you heart, your mind and your whole body - but the worm in the apple can go through me, and make me ecstatic" or even "Let your tongue strike me gently, let it cleanse my whole body". They should have just shut up. I think that is the first time I don't side with the gay couple in a film.

Currently watching Picture Me: A Model's Diary. It apparently did the festival rounds in 09 and was widely appreciated as a genuinely interesting insight into the modelling industry, and I'd have to agree. I was expecting a low-budget version of The Hills but, surprisingly, it features (mostly) intelligent young females who just happen to walk the runway for a living. It's interesting to watch Sara, the protagonist, go from level-headed "I can't believe I'm being paid to do this" everywoman the one minute, and then becoming an emotional wreck over her "pizza face" the next.

^ HILARY SWANK IS TEH MAN!1!!! Great film, definitely a favourite. The choice of the image quite intrigued me. The whole editing and cinematography felt more like I was watching Lost Highway, and not an adaptation of a true story happening in the middle of nowhere. I loved that twist. The image doesn't have to be boring, if the story is real. The sound, image, mixing, editing, all worked very well... and of course the acting: Excellent!

I'm watching that too! It's actually really good. It's interesting how one girl notices that older models are lying about their age and stuff. You never really get to see the model side of the story in the fashion industry.

Sometimes it was a little irritating to see these incredibly wealthy, young, attractive females complaining about being afraid of moving their lives in another direction when it would be quite possible for them to simply buy their way through education and become whatever the hell they wanted, but other than that they seemed like down to earth and humble women that had been offered an extraordinary opportunity and took it regardless of the stigmas that accompany profession.

five easy pieces. Pretty good for a 70s movie. Understand better why Jack Nicholas became so fmaous.

I was hungover yesterday, and I found myself sitting through Wuthering Heights in it's entirety while my headache subsided. At more than a few times in the film, I wanted to punch every character in the face, and it left me with a general disdain for 19th-century Britain. However, I was reminded of my penchant for how women looked in classic cinema: ****ing gorgeous, and they could act, too.

If you like director Mike Leighs preoccupation with characters on the fringe, then this low budget downbeat comedy is a must. Two Dublin junkies spend a day trying to get a fix and get into all sorts of scrapes. Both honest and savagely funny without resorting to seedy dramatisation or caricature, it's a great little movie that once again got buried amidst commercial humdrum banality.
