Still on Mamma Mia high - but really, it wasn't brought on because of the film - the release of the film brought back memories of significant events in my life.



Simply one of the most spontaneous things I've done so far.

nhr, do you remember this? You watched it at the Esplanade and then a few weeks later, I did. :D

I wasn't particularly fond of the singing. I actually thought most of them were off key. Dominic Coooper's hot though. When I get the DVD, I'll skip to "Lay All Your Love On Me" all the time. Promise.

As most Hollywood films go, they changed some things. They omitted "Knowing Me, Knowing You", put "Take A Chance On Me" after the wedding instead of before, Bill became Swedish instead of Australian, had Harry realise he's gay while he was on the island instead of already having a better half, etcetera etcetera.

I thought casting Julie Walters was a coup. I've always fancied Allison Janney to be Tanya but I reckon Christine Baranski wasn't so bad. Amanda Seyfried is still not my favourite choice as Sophie. I really think they could have picked someone better.

Dominic, Dominic, Dominic... god, you're so dreamy.

Pierce Brosnan should stick to acting - and brooding.

But you know what, I wouldn't be able to appreciate this movie if I had not seen the play and love ABBA to begin with.

But again - Colin Firth. Dominic Cooper. I'm satisfied.

Phwoar.
Thud.
And all that jazz.

I was on us.imdb.com looking at random titles and eventually went to Colin's page on the site. I am currently reading a poxy book titled Me and Mr. Darcy about a girl (Emily Bronte Hemingway Albright) on a guided tour of Jane Austen in England who in the first place has got love problems because she keeps sizing all the men she dates with, you guessed it, Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. To be honest the only reason why I'm still reading it is because it cost me PHP 355.00, which is not usually the price someone pays for a sordidly written book. Anyroad, going back to the lovely Colin Firth, I found out he's playing Harry Bright in the film adaptation of "Mamma Mia"! Yay! Can't wait - Harry, you see, turns out to be gay which he'll reveal in the end. I wonder if he's going to be doing any singing. Harry sang "Thank You For the Music" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You" in the musicale play. I still remember flying to Singapore (and meeting nhr too, tee hee) just to watch it. Lovely!

The only snag, I reckon, in the casting is getting Amanda Seyfried to play the role of Sophie - after reading that she read for the part, Rachel McAdams would have been a better choice.

Dakin Dominic Cooper is playing Sky!!! He's lovely.... Loved him in "The History Boys".

Title of this entry suggests that I have watched "The Simpsons Movie". (It's the number 1 film in the US, HairSpray is only number 4. Sad. Poor Zac.)

All I can say is, if you want to just laugh and be grateful for how smart you are (even though you aren't, most of the time) go see this flick.

Although to be quite honest, they should have just renamed it to "The Homer Simpson Movie" as the movie called for minimal contribution from the other members of this beloved yellow family.

I actually had to BEG (Imagine!) my agents to go watch it me but the effort was futile. Nobody loves me here in Clark!

EPA! EPA! EPA! EPA! EPA!!!

Jeesh, I gotta get to sleep. My new schedule at eggplant is wrecking my body clock. I start at 12 mn and end at 9 am. I will miss my weekday-restday-opener schedule. I have to wait for 3 months to get it again although I'm going to kill myself I'm still with Little Chennai by that time.
