Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Amazing, amazing, amazing. So good it gave me that rare "Great-movie-afterglow" thing, where you walk out of the cinema feeling all invigorated, and in this case, romantic. I just love the idea that two people know about all the irritation, and boredom and, in their case, loathing that they may eventually feel for each other (they have the evidence) but they still wanna be together. I love that combination of romance and realism, cause it means I can stomach the romance. And I always have been a romantic beneath my outer layer of cynicism. Oh man, such a good film. In another weird blog crossover incident, watching Eternal Sunshine last night with us (although she didn't know it) was Mel, from A Wild Young Under-Whimsy. This hilarious situation arose where about six avid readers of Mel's blog were seated two rows behind, all muttering to each other, "is that Mel? where? oh, ok...", and acting like they'd spotted some mega celebrity (the blog is that good). I had to restrain my friend Lauren from walking up and making a scene (she does that kinda thing) by screaming "ohmygod, I just love your blog" etc. etc. Comforting blog anonymity slowly being chipped away...
