Love in Detroit

Another film from the vault. I have never watched it before although I've had it in my collection for quite a while. "True Romance" is written by the lovely Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott (Domino, Enemy of the state etc.) with Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater. It is the story of a callgirl who falls deeply in love with a costumer and together they begin a wonderfully violent journey. This film has some very hot sex scenes, some fantastic outfits (mainly those worn by Alabama, Arquette) and some cool scenery. Incidentally the idiom "something must be rotten in Denmark" is used on several occasions throughout the film, which makes us feel all happy and silly.
(It also features his highness Gary Oldman as wannabe rasta pusher'n' pimp Drexl, and Brad Pitt in the role as stoner roommate Floyd, which was nice)
I feel that this is a must-see!

Tarantino-gasms

Once again I find myself deep into the Tarantino haze. Some days ago I watched from Dusk till Dawn for the very first time. Screenplay by Tarantino, directed and written by Rodriguez. I loved the film but most of the time I was busy drooling over Quentin Tarantino and Salma Hayek. I love his foot fetish.

How not to be Edward Cullen

I remember having a kinda-crush on Pattinson as Cedric Diggory when watching the fourth Harry Potter movie , obviously Ron Weasley/Rupert Grint (drool) stole his thunder with his ...lovely arms and impressive facial expressions.

Last night I watched "How to be" directed by one Oliver Irving. I had expected that it would be borderline crap or just mediocre. It was not. It was witty and had a very interesting plot. It is about a young, dissatisfied man called Arthur who decides to spend his money on flying a canadian therapist to London, because Arthur wants to "get fixed" since he is weird and always unhappy. The angles are fantastic, the scenes are not 'hurried', we like it.
What I particularly liked about this very well-executed film was it's amazing portrayal of pretentiousness amongst younger people (aged 15-30...dunno). Letting the characters create their own 'intellectual' terms for things (Naïvity, Lesbitarianism) and mentioning people like Nietzsche ('Nietzeeee') is what is so sweet and fantastic about this movie. Arthur and his friends are hilarious and pathetic and I find that comforting.
Arthur (Pattinson) has a sort-of best friend called Ronny (Johnny White - I find him sexy) who, for me, was the most loveable character I've seen in a long time.
This film is actually kind of brilliant.

Ronny: "You know, what I love most about you Arthur is your naïvity (...) It would probably be advantageous if you could escape from structures (...) just try and escape from the consumeristic-materialisticness of it all."

Ronny: "I have a balance of self already and I also think I'm probably getting a migrane."

Nikki: "Like, you ever heard of that dude Nietzeee? had this amazing philosophy, basically saying that you go round London and you stick your dick in anything, yeah and the whole world just loves you for it for some reason."

Shake it up baby!

Spend most of this weekend in bed watching TV - which was nice! Wathced "Tro, Håb og Kærlighed" ("Twist and shout"), a danish movie from 1984. It's about two boys, Bjørn and Erik, in the 60's. Mostly Bjørns love life and Erik's relationship with his mother. I really liked it - except for a gross abortion scene, which is way to long!

Bjørn and Anna danse and kiss.

Tricks

I am very excited about Roskilde Festival this year - especially since C.V. Jørgensen is playing. Also the fact that Pavement are playing makes me feel all warm and fluffy because they're so tacky and lovely. Last year Gogol Bordello, Pet Shop Boys, Madness and Labrassbanda were all fantastic. I hope that this year we will be able to keep the camp remotely clean, yet I fear that this won't be the case.

Less than two months to MIKA concert in KB Hallen in Copenhagen! Can't wait! Love his new album "the boy who knew too much"- have to buy it soon! Anyway, enjoy the pictures and check out the songs/videos if you haven't already!

Carmen

Yesterday we went to Malmö in Sweden, and to the Malmö Stadsteater Intiman to see the play Carmen staged by Kajs Giertz, and interpreted by professional dancers, an operasinger and some actors. My swedish is not perfect but I understood quite a lot of it. They used the original music by George Bizet, only with swedish lyrics. It was very very good I thought, I love crossdressing, dancing and spanish dresses, and the play had it all.
