Just watched Big Fish...

Saw the movie with my sister for the first time today (yeah yeah, I'm seven years late), not knowing much about it or what to expect.
Acting was really good (omg omg Ewan McGregor's accent was fantastic even if it wasn't American), and I quite liked Marion Cotillard in it too (and lolwut hi there Miley Cyrus?) and it wasn't effects-heavy, which was nice, and the storyline was very unique. I loved seeing how his fantastically tall tales weren't so tall after all.

The monologue and scenes at the end are what really got to me though, when Will tells his dad the story of what he saw in the witch eye, and everything after that. ;___;
"A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal."

It's a good non-mainstream film for me, not quite up there with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but it's on that list somewhere.

Writer's Block: A charming defense

I'd choose a black panther or a unicorn.
I've always thought black panthers were gorgeous, fierce creatures, and I love felines.
As for the unicorn, well. 1) it's like a beautiful horse that can impale things, 2) I can ride it.

Writer's Block: Unplugged

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I've been to week-long conferences/retreats where I've had absolutely no internet access or television. I had a phone but the only reason I used it was to find someone else on the massive campus I was on.
I spent two weeks in Europe with minor internet, no television to speak of, and I never got to call home once.
I have had withdrawals, sometimes, but the longer I spend away from technology the longer it takes me to want to even turn my computer on.
Now, if you'd like to pay me to do so, sure why not. I appreciate money. Pay for the rest of my college and a week or two traveling to visit friends, and I'd be happy to go for a month without technology. I can get around using maps just fine. XDD
