i saw the movie 'big fish' last night. most probably it's been out in new zealand for ages. but belgium is a little behind when it comes to new releases. but belgium? i forgive you, namely for the reason that the movie theatre chairs are the most comfortable chairs ever (except for the lazy boy in my lounge at home). i didn't want to get up at the end.

anyway, the chair thing was a tangent. i wanted to talk about the movie. and an exceptional movie at that. i was a bit nervous to begin with, because i had absolutely no idea what it was going to be about - which is rather odd when you think about it. generally you have some inkling of an idea about some type of storyline and some type category - whether it be action or romance or horror. but no. i went in with not the vaguest hint or clue.

and perhaps this is the type of movie that is best when you know nothing about it. which is why i shall not disclose its secrets but instead urge you all to check it out. however what i will say is that it did make me jump, laugh outloud, and cry (though really, these can in no way be seen as hints, as those who know me well enough know that i have cried in full house, jumped in macgyver and laughed outloud with tigertaperia).

yes. quite delightful. the type of movie i would see again. though, due to my student budget, next time it will be on the little screen (by 'little' i refer to the classic laptop size which is our only means of watching such things).
