Little cailean will probably gain a few pounds with all the doggy bags over the next week. <BR/><BR/>Cheers, Ross, and Merry Berry back to you.. ;-)sarah corbett morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327514344421041651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238084856370735932.post-30748430811487568992008-12-22T19:50:00.000+00:002008-12-22T19:50:00.000+00:00Imagine how interested I was when I saw the quote ...Imagine how interested I was when I saw the quote and the photos on your blog today, Ross. I saw Ed Wood last night and enjoyed it a lot. Johnny Depp... well, really, the whole cast was superb. The scene where Bela Lugosi was forced to wrestle the rubber octopus (because the power had gone gunny sack for the thing) was so good I swore it was the real thing. I suppose that was Ed's point, wasn't it. Ed Wood strikes me as someone PT Barnum would have liked. Perhaps they're related. I quite enjoyed the scene with the worst director and the best talking shop in the bar. Whoever played Orson Welles had him down flat. <BR/><BR/>Other movies you mentioned we have seen, mostly by accident. I used to be an avid Movie Goer when I lived in the U.S. but living where we do now there is a large vacuum that has replaced my movie habit... unless it's on Sky TV. In Bruges was one of those we stumbled upon one night. I, like you, tend to leave my desk in the evening and Alan and I watch the news and maybe a flick or baseball when in season. Next month it will be tennis from Australia. In Bruges we thought was excellent. Scary in a controlled kind of way. I agree with you, Alexander was terrible. <BR/><BR/>But all of this is more than I can say for your dismally boring housemates. I really do think you should complain-- to someone. I think a phone call to the fire department might be in order before you all go up as fly ash after one of her "romantic" nights. The relationship has to be toxic, don't you think: let's get drunk and fight (a rendition of the old country western song by Jimmy Buffett). I don't suppose the landlord would approve either if he/or she knew of the flammability quotient that resides above you. You might send an "anonymous" letter informing him/her of the facts, as you know them. How many other tenants are there in that building? Perhaps a group effort could get them evicted. I'm putting it at the top of my "willed events" for the New Year. No resolutions just posative thought about very negative people. They need to leave.sarah corbett morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327514344421041651noreply@blogger.com
