Sept 16, 2003:. SOMETHING IN THE WRONG:.
So I had this dream last night where I was dreaming of a movie. It didn't seem like a dream movie, but an actual film, and a rather spooky, yet revolting one. It started and it was Halloween, so people were going nuts, but most of all some students who wanted revenge on their principle, who had a thing for fucking pigs. Yes, he actually did because the scene flashed to him and one of the male students in his office with two pigs. It was a dark and stormy night so when the lightening flashed again it went back to the boys preparing their revenge. With each flash it was a change of scene until the boys were at the office. When they opened the door they found an untterly repulsive scene of the principle dead on the floor with himself inside a dead pig, and another dead pig, but the other student was not there.
The scene was provided so that you thought that the student was getting revenge, but like any film you knew that it was too early to give away the killer, so though he was a suspect, he really wasn't.

Argh, my gum is aching. I am not sure anymore whether it is my gum or tooth, but there are some fun painkillers to go with it. The doctor said that it should hurt for a few more days, and if it doesn't stop I have to take some antibiotics.
But that isn't what is really affecting me this morning. I woke with a really bad feeling, and still have it. I know that I say this all the time but I have this feeling that I should be doing something or be somewhere that I am not, but I can't quite pinpoint it and I have no idea of how to alleviate the feeling. I feel completely in the wrong and it sucks as I was planing on going to see28 Days Later this morning whilst Missy is in creche, but I have to wait for the cal to tell me that I have the extra hours. And how can I enjoy a film when I am feeling this creepy? Especially a creepy film! Grrrrrrf!
I am hungry and because I have not gone shopping I am not really prepared for this diet this morning. I guess some cheese'll do me and I'll get some diet cola when I go into town. Hmmmmph.

28 DAYS LATER:.
So as you can guess, I just finished watching 28 Days Later, and I am glad to say that I am glad that I went. Being Tuesday I discovered that it is the cheap day (but seeing as I am a pernsioner, it is that price everyday) and being morning the cinema was practically empty. There was a whopping 6 of us in seeing 28 Days Later and suprisingly 5 of us were female. Oddly, and pleasingly, 4 of us came alone. I was the first there so I nabbed the middle seat right up the back. Saddly I think there were ants crawling on me and I was fidgety for the remainder of the film.
Before I start my review of the film I have to say that DAMN! Cillian Murphy is a hottie! Unkempt, beardered, clean shaven, psychotic, whatever! He just looked so damned good and better be in more films! (Oh, still photos are just so not flattering of him in IMDb)
The film starts of with a bang, images of human violence and stupidity shown in a cross section of news footage. We are then to discover that this is footage PRIOR to the release of the rage virus, which is subsequently released when some activists storm the laborotory and try to free the monkey.
I do believe that moral to the opening scene is that testing on animals is cruel but activists tend to go over the top, neither are a good idea.
28 days later Jim wakes up in the hospital after being comotose. I have a few problems with this scene. Initially it is that if he has been out cold for 28 days then he should be dead, because I didn't see megalitres of saline hooked up to his body and after 28 days he would have dehydrated. And hoorah for seeing him nekkid, but in that time he would have at least deficiated a little, or urinated. But nope, perfectly clean.
The story follows Jim on his quest to find salvation and other uninfected people in the streets of London. Now I have to say, I have been on that first bridge several times and you have to commend them for succeeding in emptying it, because I couldn't even walk across it! How in hell did they manage to get the scenes so damned empty?
Jim meets Selena and Mark, 2 hardened survivors only trying to survive. Without giving much away Jim eventually leaves the city and they meet whats-his-face, played by the brilliant Christopher Ecclston (think Shallow Grave or The Invisible Circus for ye Cameron Diaz fans). I thought CE did a great job. His character was convincingly charasmatic, creepy and oh so mean. You know if the world came to an end like this people would search for someone to lead them. I think.
I won't say much more about the plot except to say that I still am not sure if what Jim does at the end is a good thing or not. Surely he oculd have found a less violent outcome?
In general the film managed to explain itself well (unless you don't listen) and I liked the gritty way in which it was filmed. If it had been a perfect production it would have felt fake. Having the cameras as they were was almost like watching footage, or from someone elses prespective as opposed to a camera.
It was funny. I had a good giggle in parts, as did the lady down the row from me. The hello thing, though being poignant, was a cracker. I will be wary of walking into empty rooms and going "HELLO!" now.
For me a great sound track make a good film great. I didn't particularily like the sound track to this. To me The Stand has the ultimate apocolyptic soundtrack.
Okay, I am getting a little broken here. In general I liked this film, good looking and great acting cast. Give it a better soundtrack and remove the love story, and it'd be better.
Oh, I really liked the way in which Jim was calling Hannah more than Selena. I liked it. Watch it.

FIGURED IT ALL OUT:.
Argh, I figured it all out. The reasons that I was having that terrible feeling this morning! Firstly it was because there seemed to be some money missing from my account, but that really isn't the big thing. The big thing was the feeling that I should be somewhere but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I should have been home.
Only because apparantly I had an inspection this morning, and I had no idea. Teaches me to read my mail. So I should have been here, and the house should have been clean. She turned up later whilst I was on the net, scared the crappers out of me and it was such a disaster! Grrrf.
They do too many inspections, especially when the landlord lives next door and can peer in at any time, and probably does.
One of the good things if I get into architecture is that I can look for a new place. That and I get into architecture.
I applied for a Tasmanian course. Gee, that is a fair distance away and travelling to see my parents would be expensive and rarer, but I almost like the idea of living in Tasmania. It would be a new experience- and the Cadbury factory would be within a days drive! LMAO, I am fat enough already.
Cheers and merry be all.

I just tried to leave a commment the old way and got an error. Now I can't remeber what I was going to say!

Glad your bad feeling didn't turn out to be something worse. And I do hope your inspection went OK.

thanks for your comment. That guy made me mad and I'm going to write about it tonight.

Oh yeah, I have a dumb question. What is a cretch? Is it like a drop-in daycare?

Anyways, have a good day.
