Movie list update

Been to tonnes of movies lately, so my to-see list is getting shorter & shorter. Just been to Walk the Line this morning after Munich on Saturday. That would be 3rd for the month & 5th for the yr! I don't think I've ever been to the movies at such high frequency in my life. 1 every month or 2 months maybe, but never this closely together. Anyhow, having decided to skip The Producers, now I only have Capote & TransAmerica left on my list. AND, my free tickets to TransAmerica just arrived today for next monday night, so 1 more down by end of next Mon! Maybe I should add Jarhead to the list seeing that I have cheap ticket vouchers... Or Brokeback again after finish reading the script? Hmm, thinking...

On other fronts, had my 1st meeting with:

1. co-supervisor
2. both supervisor & co-supervisor present

Good outcomes from the hour-long meeting, which means that plenty more work still laying ahead of me. I'm finally seeing the benefits of having a 2nd supervisor. Wendy S. is telling me things that Kev is not/has neglected to/hasn't thought of yet. She thought that she was in a tone that sounded too 'corrective' but it was exactly what I needed to hear from her. So, excellent. Now, moving on the writing 3rd results chapter. Finished coding & entering data for this chapter this past wkend & monday, so should probably stop blogging now & do my analysis. Have had enough fun for the day (for the night, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter :P Ooh, new Property Ladder is on Lifestyle tonight!) Ok, stop now. Now, I said!

Geisha

Oscar noms are out and I intend to watch quite a few before the March ceremony. As said in previous post have already seen Brokeback Mountain (see Brokeback, 1 below) and am still waiting for the screenplay to arrive in the mail. Amazon said still 2 more wks to wait :'(

Took day off on wednesday & was going to take advantage of the Greater Union promotion & watch Rumour Has It then The Producers back to back, but changed my mind last minute and watched Memoirs of a Geisha instead (thus title of blog). With the general lack of nominations I think I'll be scratching The Producers from my 'to watch' list, unless none of the other 1s don't come off the 'no free ticket' list. Will see will see. Geisha - not bad. Never read the book, have no urge to do so. I can't put my head around Japanese women being so feministically forward. 'Cos in all the films/docos done on Japan it still looks like an extremely patriarchal society. It did, however, stir my interest in wanting to find 'Ah Sun' again. I think that would be a much more realistic story to be put on screen. It was, afterall, based on a true story.

Must get back to writing. Was going to spend wed arvo writing the intro & conclu to my chapter, but spent a big part of it in air-conditioned cinema/shopping centre/library instead before going home & watched Arrested Development S1 on DVD again. Was going to write at night, but too hot so watched Prison Break & LOST recap. @ work yesterday & LOST last night. Also spent too much time downloading games for BlackBerry. Must find way of changing background/screensaver.

To watch list update:

1. Capote
2. Munich
3. Producers, the (maybe)
   
4. Walk the Line
5. Jarhead (maybe)
