the wishlist in my previous post was fucked, my bf asked me why do i have Gilmore Girls - The Complete Sixth Season on my wishlist... apparently the list he saw was different from what i saw. anyway, i fixed it.

i remembered that the movie festival espoo ciné is pretty soon :) i started browsing the movies and making myself a program list. there's plenty of movies that i'd like to see, but i have to match it with my work schedule and i'm probably going to have to switch some shifts around and so forth...

the most important flicks on my list are;
the bothersome man
the lost ("The Lost makes Gus Van Sant’s Elephant seem like a spring picnic..." woohoo!)
wild country
the method

but HP Lovecraft's road to L seems interesting too, as a specialty sorta. i've wanted to see calamari union for a long time now, and it'll be on this festival, free of charge. however, it collapses with wild country so i made myself a deal; if i arrange myself to see calamari union some other way, i am then allowed to go see wild country. i can probably rent it. animal seems semi-interesting, aggression is always a plus. off screen is based on true story plus pretty out-there so i might have to check it out as well. neighbor gets weird-points :) hotel is just a horror-flick but austrian, and is claimed to follow the footsteps of Haneke so i got interested. and there are many more...

next month, right before i leave to canada, there's Love & Anarchy movie festival which i missed last year, hopefully i catch a few more movies there. i used to be a pretty frantic movie goer in the past. i think my record was something like 32 movies for that festival (in practise it lasts about 7 days). after a couple days you're in another galaxy cos your reality just shifts from one movie to another, the reality outside the movie theatres starts to seem...unreal.

spike lee's movie she hate me (weird title) was surprisingly good. i wanted to see it because of Monica Bellucci but it was all over cool. *recommends*
