Sleepless Pain
I hope I am not becoming an insomniac because I had a terrible sleep last night and I woke up with a painful left shoulder - obviously from sleeping in an awkward position. My misery was compounded by the fact that Lance forgot to close his room window {before he went to Thailand}- which meant the storm like conditions and wind in his room were trying to pry open his locked room door and that created a constant low level banging that I could hear all night. I'll probably do something about that later tonight but the end result of last night is that I feel like I've been run over by a truck or something.Last night was random - almost got run over by a stupid (and I mean a special kind of stupid -especially when he had a very close shave with 2 cars at the same intersection) tourist jumping a red light in their camper van; bumped into Brett Gallagher {one of the music composers on 'Memories of Tomorrow'} in person for the first time ever as I was going to watch 'Red Cliff'; ordered a chicken wrap at Burger Fuel and waited for 20 minutes for the order to come through with no luck - and then got the chicken wrap and the money refunded by the duty manager for their poor service; finally got to 'Red Cliff' but was annoyed at the number of people sneezing and coughing in the cinema theatre.
'Red Cliff' was an excellent movie - I now want to see the original 2 part asian release with run time of 4 hours plus instead of the 2.5 hour foreign version because there were parts which felt rushed and aspects jumped over plus I think it would've had more impact if you knew the politics behind the war instead of the over-simplified foreign version. Don't get me wrong - in it's current form it is still a fantastic epic and the time really flies by quickly and the action scenes are rivetting, though some of the CGI to show the scope of the battles is sometimes just passable. It is a recommended watch if you are into war movies or epics.
1 down - 4 to go.
