spending warm summer days indoors

Went to see The Edukators yesterday which I absolutely loved; it wasn't perfect (aspects were a bit too simplistic, there was too much Hallelujah on the soundtrack- I know, I didn't think it was possible either) but it was exactly the kinda film that I want to make when I grow up. The mixture of political idealism and human fallibility made me think of Together (or possibly just the mixture of hippies and big battered old minibuses) which caused me to wonder why only mainland European films seem capable of portraying alternative politics in a serious and realistic fashion, English-language attempts always seem to end up as horrendously crass cliches a la SW9. Looking forward to both Palindromes and Tarnation coming out soon as well.

On a different subject: does anyone actually pay for soft-lens contact lens solution and want some for free? Cos I have a metric shedload I'm never gonna use.

tarnation looks interesting, but i think i will await them all on video, ( ie edukators too ) as this type of movie i enjoy watching on my own more.

go to the cinema on your own! (or is it just me that does that?)

Have you switched to glasses or something?

[satyrica.livejournal.com]

no, I just get a bottle a month with my lensmail deal and never use anywhere close to that much so I've managed to build up a backlog of about six superflous bottles . . .

perhaps you're not cleaning your lenses enough?

probably :-)
