Dark City (1998) Another movie I haven't seen in a long time, and I have to say it's aged quite well. The sets really remind me of the French film The City of Lost Children (1995) crossed with a World War II art deco style that I just adore. The plot is still imaginative and helped to inspire many science-fiction movies since then, and of course Jennifer Connelly is in it, which is a win in my books, plus her singing voice is very enchanting. |

Wasn't feeling too good after my lunch/ Nazi zombie shooting date, so instead of going to the gym and doing my homework I watched The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. I wonder if people who saw this before seeing Hugo Weaving in The Matrix and Lord of the Rings had a hard time not picturing him as a drag queen. |

Eh, he was absent for enough of it that he didn't bother me too much. In fact I've actually used many of his mannerisms of the years in RPG's when I need to play some kind of obviously deranged character. It's kind of funny to imagine that three years later he was playing Jack Bauer and curb stomping terrorists.

Deriviative cliched nonsense but I frigging loved it. They used to make these underdog movies for fun back in the 80's and they were all oddly watchable. It's awful really if you want to analyse the film but if you know what you are getting in the first place then it doesn't matter.
