Munich was longer than I thought, but good. Not as overtly pro-Israel as I thought it would be (i.e. Arabs bad/Jews good). Some strong points of Israeli/Jewish reflection in there, and in the end, quite ambiguous.
40mins into Kagemusha, and needing less effort than I thought (ain't it the way). Though with everyone having the same haircuts and wotnot, keeping tabs on which warlord is which is a bit tricky! Adverts now, and my belly is telling me to make a cheese 'n' pickle butty.
I'm desperately trying to think of a sad bit in mamma mia. When pierce brosnan sings 'the winner takes it all' maybe, on the steps up to that dinky church? Anyway with two daughters suffice to say I've seen it over half a dozen times. Brilliant film.
I watched master and commander yesterday. A fantastic film and a brilliant insight to life in the british navy in 1805. Knocks huge spots off of the original pirates of the caribbean film which unfortunately released at exactly the same time and overwhelmed m & c at the box office.
For me it's the song 'slipping through my fingers'
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why I just don't know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
gets me every time![]()
Had to interrupt to walk Hamish in a rare dry window. Won't get a chance tonight with the firworks.Back now...and dopey Nigel(?) from Eastenders seems to be in it as a resistance/propaganda type!
Surely the sad bit in Mama Mia is the bit where you take it out of the box, slide it in and press play?Just kidding, I'm sure itcs great, but Abba get on my t*ts!

Thats just brought a tear to my eye. Kind of relevant to me with my eldest daughter, a real soul mate as well as a daughter, 'slipping through my fingers all the time'.
As for not liking Abba SS, I don't like Abba either. The songs though in this film just work, well most of them anyway.
Bloody hell! Must be those masochistic fell-runner tendencies. That was tough viewing. Music though was fantastic. Listening to those pieces given the background certainly packs an emotional punch.
I'm stricly on Comedy Central for the rest of the day before I do something stupid!![]()
