Just thought I'd share that with you.
Friday night and I haven't got around to posting a blog in a while, haven't had too much to say. I just watched Spaced and had a cigarette, now I'm stuck on making a best of playlist for my 5k of music, so can't be fucked, I got to 70 songs and now I'm at C (in alphabetical artist order, duh). The problem I have is that I try to make a playlist with only one song per artist, but then I only choose the most played song, which then becomes overplayed and annoying to an extent, thus ruining the whole point of the playlist. A stupid fucking cycle.
I do like the idea of having a really good playlist, I guess the only way to do it confidently is to keep a consistent theme like all of the music magazine's free CDs. Makes sense.
Recently I have just been, well, not doing too much, trying to watch a movie I haven't seen every few days. These are some I've seen recently;
The American Friend; directed by Wim Wenders, t'was really good, a few segments with no dialogue add to the thrill (a thriller), intense Dennis Hopper acting, good combo.

The 400 Blows; a classic French film about a schoolboy who goes astray and tries to live like an adult, happy, sad, funny, good, great.

Repulsion; directed by Roman Polanski, a lot worse in my eyes than given credit for. I guess a lot of it was innovative for it's 'time' but a lot of unnecessary effects that ruin some parts of the film, not terrible but not amazing.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico; made by genre slut Robert Rodriguez, so cheesy but so good, a pretty mindless action movie with Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas, you know, entertaining and that.

Nói the Albino; Good, nothing epic, but quite good, very aesthetically pleasing, a lot of really really good scenes (including pots of animal blood), don't know how much I liked the ending, though.

About to watch American Psycho (been hunting this film down for a good year), my video store only has the sequel, which I don't think I'll watch in the near future. I really like black comedy, and this is supposed to be an ace movie in the genre.
