The full schedule for the Chicago International Film Festival (October 11th-25th) is now available. They are NOT going to show Viggo's latest movie, made in Argentina. How dare they? I mean, it premiered at TIFF, and in recent years, each and every one of Viggo's films that was shown at TIFF, was also later shown in Chicago. So why not this one? I was SOOO looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. *sulks* As it is, I might have to wait for the DVD. Also, there really isn't anything else on the schedule that made me go, OMG I've GOT to see this. There are a few films that sound interesting, but if I am to pick only two or three (I can afford to take about 3 days off during the festival this year), I really don't know which ones they should be - and most of the interesting ones are quite likely to be available through Netflix sooner or later... and I find I am perfectly content to wait. I mean, I don't need to pay $14 for a movie ticket if it's something I will be able to watch cheaply and comfortably at home. So I don't know. My festival excitement sort of dissipated and I can't decide if I should bother attending at all. *shrug*
I've been quite lethargic for the past few days due to my period - which was mild enough not to need a sick day from work, but perhaps because of that I wasn't feeling up to much in the evenings. So I am terribly behind on LJ comments - I did read my flist every day, just had no energy to say (or rather type) anything. I'll try to catch up now that I'm feeling better.
Also, last Sunday I finally used my international cellphone plan and called one of my closest friends in Poland. We talked for TWO HOURS... LOL. It was such a strange feeling to hear her voice again after so many years (I can't even figure out how many at this point). And she almost sounds the same as she did at 17 (which is when we met). It's just... utterly incredible that we still have this bond. I mean, we write to each other more or less regularly, so I have always known the connection was there - but still... to actually hear the pleasure and joy in her voice speaking to me, the youthful laughter I remember... Wow. *blinks rapidly* Need to buy more minutes now, since I almost ran out - and I should probably make it a rule to call her only about once a month or so, since I am pretty sure we can easily chat for 2-3 hours anytime...:D
See, my brain is NOT completely buried in gratuitous vampire porn.:P ( Read more... )
