Feeling slightly like a terrible film student due to my lack of FILM, i decided Sunday night would be the best time to settle down and watch some sweet TV/Films. I started off with the X-Factor of course, excited to see that the theme was 'Movie week' and for once i was quite pleased with the results. Fair enough, Lucie may have had a good voice but she was SUCH a bore. Honestly, she was like a face-cloth. She murdered Demi Lovatos 'This Is Me' in my opinion and made a weak attempt at trying to be younger than 60. It didn't work. I loved Oli as always, and Joe's cute version of The Lion King brought back all the old mem's. Awww. However, ever since i seen The Lion King on Broadway in New York, i always seem to forget it's even a film. It was such a fantastic show and really does Walt Disney justice.
MOVING ON. After the X Factor, i was soo pleased to see that Miss Congeniality was on. I hadn't seen that film in forEVER, and the trailer had me cracking up every time - Sandra Bullock really is such a hilarious actress and I seem to forget about her a lot. Miss Congeniality literally had me hooting my socks off from the first five minutes, as wee Sandra plays such a convincing role as FBI's tom boy Gracie Hart, soon to be 'Gracie Lou Freebush.'
Even the name cracks me up, as its such a stereotypical bimbo American persona. Gracie goes undercover in a "Scholarship programme" aka Beauty pageant in order to uncover a terrorist and is subjected to complete sexist activities such as 'The Bikini Contest.'
The funniest part i think is that these things actually EXIST! Don't get me wrong I'm not some crazed feminist or anything, but its slightly pathetic that some girls need a crown awarded by a punch of cynical perverts in order to prove that they are beautiful. Take even Miss Scotland for example, you go on the website, and these girls are posting pictures of them in their underwear just so people will vote for them, and personally i would be embarrassed to have a 'someone like that' represent Scotland. It's awful!
Also - how hilarious i find it when they ramble on about 'WE WANT....UMMMM...LIKE...WORLD PEACE? Or something...' God, give it a rest ladies. It just makes them look insanely needy and desperate, why not say what you really want which is a rich husband and a convertible car. JEEZ-OH.
But yeah, I've gone slightly off track here....but overall Miss Congeniality is just a lighthearted comedy full of LOL moments and I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a good hoot.
Sooo, camera formative assessments tomorrow, EEEK. I'm slightly nervous about it because knowing me it'll be the only day i trash all the equipment and break a few toes, no pressure or that. Most of my notes don't even make sense which doesn't help, i should really get better at shorthand. I'm not THAT worried about it because i know its just to make sure we don't have any major issues or anything, and even if i do then it'll be good to get them sorted out. I should probably go de-crypte my notes again, then patiently await tonight's FLASHFORWARD, aww yeahh! X
