Jokes and something about new Sherlock Holmes

A grand celebration with banket. About forty novices get symbolical wedding with Jesus Chirst. A lot of relatives, friends and so on are here.
But at the banquet appeared three strange men with black hats, gaberdines, side curls and eat a lot of meal, cakes and desserts.
At the and of the banquet the most courious fellows ask:
"Forgive us, are you friends or relatives of any Jesus Christ bride?"
Three men are willing to explain:
"We are relatives - but the bridegroom party."



I think a lot of people want Holmes and Watson as old men or dodos maybe. Not do I.
Conversatives on the Nyx forum compare Guy's Holmes to Vinnetou played by Ice-T. I'm not against it. On the contrary I think it's high time to make cover of Vinnetou.

The weekend

The weekend was:
Travelling - a trip to Prague
Ceremonial - there was a wedding in Prague.
Gastronomic - because the wedding reception was in a French restaurant owned by a French Chef
Shopping - I've bought boot-trees and a thing named Skubb in IKEA [buying more space is much better than throwing my clothing away I suppose]
Cultural - 1) We have gone to a cinema with bride in the prewedding evening and 2) I've visited:


I was allowed to make pictures by my cell phone:

Foreign minister, Prime minister and the second President of Czechoslovakia as a member of SK Slavia football team and dateless shoes I like:

The Bruggy for the second time

The movie got me whenever I see it. Anyway, I'm conscious for delicate characters it is not suitable: In Bruges: Top of the tower scene.

PS: Me and Marťas have a now toy.

Paris, je t'aime

Me and my friend Jitka were in cinema yesterday to see Paris, je t'aime.
She is ungrateful person. Although she loves Paris she was displeased - they spoke a lot in English and too little in French to her mind. Gah.

Batman 6/ 2th the first episode

I need to organize my mind.
The movie is inconsistent for me:
- everything indicate this is a perfect movie
- I was not excited a lot
- I'm pleased to see anyone rated it ***, ** or * on CSFD [Czechoslovak movie database]
- despite of these things I can't stop to think about it

IMDB 92,1% [the 3rd best movie]

The 3rd best movie, get it? Better than Pulp Fuction or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!
In collate with Stardust, Hot Fuzz, Lucky Number Slevin or In Bruges for the last time the Dark knight have not got more than 3*.

Just to be fair:  for yesterday's unfavourable watching conditions the movie will get the second chance as the part of Nolans Batman movie afternoon.

To the cinema

I have the cinema week.

Yesterday: me and my mother and Marťas and his mother were at cinema to see I liked it despite of singing Pierce Brosnan. I think James Bond became much more to him.

Today: me and Marťas met in the downtown for take an ice cream or coffee. At the later time the movie we meant to see for a long time crossed our minds. For the workmanship and casting of Alfred, Gordon and Joker of course I give 4 3*, because this is not such GREAT movie for me.

Probable causes:
1) I was drinking a lot of water through all the day. It takes an effect half an hour after the movie beginning so I had not concentrate on the plot as I would imagine.
2) one of trailers before the Batman movie was
So I looked forward to James Bond and the Batman was forgotten.

This Thursday: Me and my friend Jitka are going to the Art cinema to see Jitka likes the French movies and on the other hand she refuse to see english-named ones in cinema. She is suspicious they are American and she doesn't like American-style. In my opinion Jitka likes the French movies, because she thinks all of them are great.
If she confirm that, I will recommend her Delicatessen.

I don't care we're going to see the French movie. I like Steve Buscemi elsewhere he is :)

Pulp Fiction

There was Jackie Brown on TV yesterday. It drove me to Pulp Fiction:

Fan site
Quentin Tarantino 1
Quentin Tarantino 2
The screenplay
the article with the "dead nigger storage" tag [in Czech]
The graduation theses Translating a film into a dubbed text: Pulp Fiction
AND: Which Pulp Fiction Character Are You?

It has to be YOUR way. When it isn't, you panic, but hold your ground. You keep your gun pointed and trigger finger ready, but you'd never really hurt anyone. Though you like being tough, feeling control, you often enjoy blending in and being part of the ordinary human race.

Vuk

I'm not a fool. The little fox Vuk really does exist!
The DVD with Vuk is out today. Just only for 44.,- :)

Now I hope to be out of an old [and almost unknown] series Laura, the young seal.

Irina Spalko

I really usually don't look for movie mistakes, but in Indy's case I have started to think about one right at the cinema:

Colonel Doctor Irina Spalko, the "Stalin's favourite person, award holder of the Order of Lenin, the highest decoration in the Soviet Union, three times for outstanding services rendered to the State, and the honorary title of Hero of Socialist Labor for exceptional achievements in the national economy and culture" just could not be the "Stalin's fair-haired girl" because:
1) This Indys case is situated to the year of 1957. Stalin died in 1953.
2) If she had been "Stalin's fair-haired girl" in his days, she probably had not boasted about it in 1957. This is one year after the Khrushchev attacks the veneration of Stalin as a "cult of personality" and Stalin already wasn't as venerated as before.
3) No one intelligent boast to be a Stalin's favourite.

In Bruges

Me and Martin were in cinema yesterday. The most important thing of the evening was that we have bought the tickets in advance on the internet so we didn't have to be in cinema half an hour before the movie beginning.

The movie: In Bruges
Smart funny, sentimental, action, bloody, rude and once more funny.
Five stars of five for a background, dialogues, performance [I'm going to forgive Farrel the idiotic Alexander]
The movie could be reccomend for pople who likes Pulp Fiction, Lucky Number Slevin, Hot Fuzz.
The movie should not be reccomend for hard-core fans of Harry Potter because Fleur Delacour already won't be as she used to be for them. There are also Mad-Eye Moody and You-know-who in the movie but their characters are not as changed as the Fleur's is.



PS: The main reason I write about this movie is that we are going to film premiere of Indiana Jones tomorrow. I like In Bruges movie and its poster but it will be changed tomorrow and I would like to have it on my blog still in the furture.

Books and the Русские фильмы

1) I finally finished the terrible book yesterday. The book is terrible because:
a) the translator has translated all the person's first names. He has written Czech Julián, not French Julien and so on. I don't like it. The book is French, the protgonists are French hence their names should be French too,
b) the story is OK but the book is too wordy. And the wordy books are hardly readable,
c) the protagonist Julien is silly but also single-minded, politic and he has an inferiority complex. This is a terrible combination.

2) Karel found a Russian shop in Brno yesterday. There are Russian vodka, candies, books, music and movies on DVD - with region code 2 in the shop. He bought a whole series of Nu pogodi! for my mother because she likes this popular Soviet animated series a lot.
I bought one DVD with these Russian movies:

The Sovereign's Servant [IMDB] [trailer] [web]
The Rider Named Death [IMDB]
The Barber of Siberia [IMDB] [trailer] [web]
Pushkin: The Last Duel [IMDB] [trailer]
The Fall of the Empire [IMDB] [trailer]
The State Counsellor [IMDB] [trailer] [web]
Turkish Gambit [IMDB] [trailer] [web]

and:
Azazel [IMDB] [trailer]!

Because there are 8 movies in one [even double sided] DVD, the movies have low quality and they are without dubbing and titles. Nevermind. The important thing is I don't have to try to find a solution with my Russian DVD Azazel with region code 5.

PS: The main reason why the long picture collection is here is that I like to make pictures collection.

Lemonade Joe

The Lemonade Joe for those who can't break away from their computer.


PS: By the way, the Lemonade Joe was my first not-child-movie I have ever seen [I was six years old] and my first not-child-song I have known was "V Lincolnu loňskýho roku" sung in this movie.

The Stardust

Me and Martin were at cinema to see Sturdust yesterday. I was looking forward to see this movie a lot [that much as I was looking forward to Christmas] since I have seen the trailer.

I like Stardust movie a lot. But I don't know what to write about it. Here are some reviews:
