Shoppin’
I spent some money today.
I bought the Lucìa y el sexo DVD, because apparently I hadn’t seen that yet. It isn’t really that awesome, but I can see why a bunch of 11th-graders would hail it as the greatest movie ever, and why Stijnen would get some complaints for picking it the be shown in school.
Of course, it didn’t help the subtitles don’t work and the only dub available was French. My French is only marginally better than my Spanish, which, admittedly, isn’t all that horrible, but still.
Anyway, it was only like 9 €.
Also bought The Rutles 2: Can’t Buy Me Lunch (on DVD), which was pretty entertaining, in a not-trying-too-hard kind of way. 35-year-old Eric Idle playing side by side 58-year-old Eric Idle is pretty interesting to see, too.
Also, the Beatles are far to litigious about things.
Finally, I bought Richard Dawkins’ A Devil’s Chaplain, but because the Fnac’s English-language selection has been made of fail recently, it’s the Dutch translation, Kapelaan van de Duivel.
Haven’t started in it yet, but I’m guessing I’ll get about halfway through before the Dutch annoys me into giving it to my mother instead.
Fascinating stuff, what?

Lucia y el sexo was pretty good because it didn’t only have sex in the title, but also in the actual movie. I seem to remember it’s also quite nicely filmed, and it’s not too shabby overall. It’s not quite on my “top movies of all time”-list, though.
And how can your subtitles NOT work? >.>

I assumed anyone who cared would already know what that was about. >.>
