Being in a film

Do you ever think it would be cool if your life was part of a movie? It would be kind of funny if every time you wrote a letter you got a voice-over reading it aloud, and background music depicting how you felt at appropriate moments. I guess it would depend on what sort of movie you were in, and it would mean that everything would go down-hill in the middle. Especially if you were writing a letter, because the only movies I can think of where people write letters are the Jane-Austin'y  ones and everyone knows you can't have a good romance without loads of mis-understanding and communication problems that turn everyone against each other. Although that would probably be better than everyone getting eaten by a dinosaur or something. Yeah, I don't think being part of a movie would be fun after all. I've seen The Truman Show and Stranger Than Fiction. People in movies in movies seem to spend the whole time trying to get out of them. Which I guess is pretty sad because ultimately they end up staying in the movie, but there's a whole other level of movie out there that they don't even realise. That should be a metaphor or something. It's a bit like what I think may be the plot of one of the matrix films I haven't seen yet. Although even if they don't make it out side of the film as we're seeing it, at least they get to change the ending to a happier one. Besides, background music would get kind of annoying, and it's not like you can hear it if you're in the film anyway.

On a similar note I saw 'The Lost World' (The Conan Doyle version) recently. I think I like bad movies more than people are supposed to, because I thought it was really great. It has Dinosaurs, English people, Guys with hats and guns, it was fairly predictable but not entirely (I was waiting so long for this one guy to die, and he lived right through. He played the wife and children card. Although it actually turns out that none of the main characters died, BBC wussed out at the last minute) and I even got a fairly decent argument out of it with my sister about who was right in the end (The scientist guy or the hunter guy).
I picked up a copy of the book recently though, and it seemed really hard to read. It had a lot of long words and descriptions in it. Also I couldn't immediately tell what was going on when I opened it randomly about 3/4 through. Which is probably a really bad way to judge a book, but whatever. Apparently Jules Verne is a bit like that, so I might give up on trying to find a copy of 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' and try and watch the film instead. 


That's about it from me tonight then, thanks for sticking around. Tune in next time for some more pointless ramblings (or maybe not, who can tell?), but until then I hope you have a wonderful day, and "in case I don't see you 'good afternoon, good evening and goodnight!'"



And I had a really great Birthday, thanks for asking. I got some cutlery so now
