A future to look foward too.

I’m a mean machine! Didn’t stop playing with PS until late, or what passes for late to me - which is some time after 7.30pm. Decided to watch Children of Men afterwards, ‘cuz sis rented the movie and it needs to be returned tomorrow.
 

CoM – what a weird movie. Totally cool, though. I can definitely see that senario happen; world descending into chaos because man can no longer have children. Man stripped of pretences when he no longer needs to live up to anything in the eyes of an innocent. ‘Cuz there are none, hehe.

 

The broken stroller and children toys where a nice touch, I thought. No time for nostalgia when the world is going to H*** in a hand basket, it seems.
 

Was haunted by a sense of urgency and depression through-out the movie, even though it had kind of a low-tone, mellow feel – this in spite of the explosions and speed chases. Was totally shocked when they killed off Moore. Didn’t see that coming, but it felt right, and in the end it worked to lead the plot in the emotional direction it needed to go. 

Crappy ending for my personal tastes, though. I like definite endings, knowing what happens or will happen to the characters. There is no resolution in this, pretty much everybody dies and those that don’t - we never get to see the rescue, it just fades to black.

Changed my mind – it was a good ending, life don’t give you resolution; there are no happy endings and quick fixes. Besides, the movie was from Owens point of view and he croaks before the boat appears. He doesn’t’ get to know the ending, so it’s fitting that we don’t as well. 

Going to bed far to late - 9.30pm. Gotta be up by 2.30pm.

Word for the day: colloquially
