Good stuff:
By the way, I was at the pool yesterday and someone, some guy with a tattoo of the Southern Cross on his back, who was in my lane started talking to me. I’ve never had a pool conversation before, but I haven’t been to many different pools either so maybe it happens all the time at some places. I’m not sure. So what’s the deal?
Anyway, I was just thinking, and I know some people who read here are not Australian and they should probably listen up especially, that Picnic at Hanging Rock is a totally awesome film. Like, totally. I don’t know whether you can get it in America or wherever, but if you can, people who live there or wherever should really get it out and watch it. It’s just really really creepy. And good.
Another thing is, if you’re bored why not read Clare’s NaNoWriMo Novel. It’s pretty excellent and fun. Her one from the other year is damn good too.
Oh, and anyone who hasn’t seen the new Casino Royale should go and do that right now. Hell. yeah.

He makes Brosnan look like my mum. Craig is, like, PERFECT (as James, that is).

Dunno why but Picnic at Hanging Rock always makes me want to drink coffee before loading up a machine gun and going after that little fat girl. Miranda was running away from your whiny voice, bitch.

If it’s creepy, I probably won’t watch it. My housemate forced (yes, literally forced) me to watch Silent Hill.
Protip: do not watch this movie.
Your speel on Picnic at Hanging Rock has not worked on me, I’m afraid.

Lee - That seems to be everyone’s reaction. My mum saw it and thought he pursed his lips too much tho.
Nails - Good call. Little prat.
Mish - Like I said, it’s not a horror movie. Just some weird thing. If anything you might find it boring.

I love movies and any opportunity to watch something new, so I put that movie on my online rentals list. So hopefully I’ll get around to watching it soon!

Hmm, if Eggroll rents it anytime soon I’m crashing the watching of it. If not it will take a bit longer to get around to it.
If you say it’s good I’ll brave any nightmares caused by it’s creepiness.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Picnic at Hanging Rock. Movie and book. It’s weird how the tourist place at the actual Hanging Rock pretend the whole thing is real and get all mysterious about it in large panels of text. IT’S NOT REAL, tourist guys.

Colonel E & Winter - cool. It’s not really a nightmare movie, so you’ll be okay. Just try not to get preoccupied by how annoying the fat kid is.
Clare - dude. Never been there but maybe I should go. But are you really sure it’s not based on a true story?

It isn’t. The writer pretended that it was, to make it seem more scary.
