Recovery
Feeling much better after a long weekend of lesbian movies and lying in bed playing the Sims 2 (laptops do have definite advantages when ill). I discovered that playing video games is a great way to distract oneself from bodily aches and pains!
Went to three movies at the OutTakes G&L Film Festival currently on at the Paramount. A mixed bag. First a low budget Wellington film called Sleeping On The Floor. The director was there and gave us all a speech about how happy he was to have a screening, and thanks all for coming, etc. Then shockingly, about 4/5ths of the way through, the DVD they were playing it off crapped out! About 20 minutes was spent trying to get it to go before they gave up. The poor director was stomping around going “three and a half years down the toilet”!
A re-screening is going to be scheduled. But honestly how hard is it to a) have a backup disc and b) have a backup DVD player? Pretty slack on someone’s part.
The movie itself? Well I was enjoying it, pretty low budget and mostly improvised, but nice to see the story of a young Wellington cafe worker falling in love with her friend. Jan however thought it was pretty crap!
Have also seen D.E.B.S. - utterly fantastic, very funny, light hearted Charlie’s Angels-esque comedy queer romp - and Round Trip - Israeli bus driving woman falls for Nigerian illegal hospital cleaner - rather grim and the kissing was not good. Never underestimate the importance of the kissing!!
