Jan. 2nd, 2006 03:54 pmI went over to my parent's house on New Year's Eve (Hogmanay). We watched "Lost in Translation" on DVD. My parent's had never seen it before but they seemed to like it, especially my mum. I've seen it a few times and I like it a lot. After the bells rang at midninght, my parents went over to the neighbours annual New Year's party. They came back around half past two in the morning.
Yesterday morning we all went to an art gallery to see an exhibition of watercolour paintings of the French landscape by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, it was a really nice little trip. I went back to my place in the evening. I watched "The 50 Greatest Comedy Films" on TV (they never seem to get tired of these list programs on TV). By the way, "Monty Python's Life of Brian" was number one. After that I saw "Withnail & I", which is kind of a cult classic now. It's set in 1969 and stars Richard E Grant and Paul McGann as two unemployed actors, who share a squalid London flat and spend most of the time drinking, while giving long monologues about how great they are and how bad their luck has been. To cheer themselves up, they go for a weekend's holiday to the country, where they find themselves contending with hostile locals, bad weather, no food, and, in McGann's case, fending off the unwanted advances of Grant's Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths). It is a very funny film!
