So I´m just updating to say I´ve seen more movies in the last week than I have in 6 months in london. Free aeroplane movies = win!
I watched Somewhere, the new Sofia Copolla one, in Lima with Alex. thought it was pretty good. Wasn´t quite sure why. Lots of long shots of cars driving about and a geezer looking a bit bored, but somehow she made up for it with something that felt really genuine in the relationship between the main character and his daughter. Parts of the movie really had a fresh feeling about them that I thought made up for the slight tedium of other scenes, and anyway, everything can´t be Lost in Translation and The Virgin Suicides.
On the plane over from Easter Island, on our wonderful 3am flight (erk!!) I made the bad mistake of indulging my curiosity about what movies they might have. I found Megamind on there, which I´ve been wanting to see and so there waved goodbye to any chance of sleep on the flight. The movie was really great though! Much win! Loved the characters, the plot, and some of the dialogue was pretty great too. Loved the scene where Megamind and Metroman taunt each other about who should win out, Good versus Evil:
"But Revenge is a dish best served cold."
"Yes, but it´s easily re-heated in the microwave of evil!"
Ha, well I can´t remember much of it, but parts made me laugh out loud, which is quite embarassing on a plane full of snoozy people.
Yay though!
I might even watch it again on the way back.
Right, I´m off to eat a delicious breakfast of dry soda crackers and Gatorade. Thankyou South American stomach bug from hell. At least I get to eat it in the sunshine with a rolling ocean view :)
