Contradicting my previous rule about not commenting on movies because the internet is already full of that sort of blog pap, I wanted to mention that we will be going to see My Year Without Sex tonight after work. It’s been awhile since I saw a movie, the last few being Watchmen (good), Sunshine Cleaning (good) and Bottle Shock (absolutely terrible), so let hope it’s reasonable. Maybe afterwards I can even convince Kim to go for a beer in a local pub before we head home in the chilly dark.
Which cinema do you usually go to? I’m finding that now that I’ve left Melbourne I’m really missing Nova, Dendy and The Rivoli. I haven’t yet found any compareable ones here in Perth, with maybe the exception of the Piccadilly which seems to have gone very mainstream while I was away.
We’re pretty lazy and go to ones locally (i.e Westgarth Cinema or the Nova). We usually head into the city once a year for some Melbourne Film Festival ones, but mostly we stick to the inner North. Laziness is a theme that surrounds us generally.
BTW, the movie was a little depressing but fine. I thought Matt Day was a bit wooden, and it seemed obsessed with showing the genuine working class lifestyle to the point of monotony. The female lead was terrific and very brave. I noticed Kim shed a tear at the end.
