what's it doing in the teapot??













elle and i sure can pick em. our tuesday arvo movies always rock.

today we saw 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'. It's a tad strange but still totally rocks. It's the last movie Heath Ledger made and i think it's pretty different from anything else i've ever seen him in- it's no 10 things, that's for sure. Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell stepped in to play Heath's part when he died and they do it brilliantly. The way the movie is set makes it seamless as 'Tony' keeps changing appearances.

The really interesting thing about this movie is it's story line about the devil. I don't want to spoil the plot but the devil is around a lot and he happens to wear a bowler hat and look a lot like Tom Waits. It's really interesting to see the way that the devil is viewed in secular society, sure Tom Waits is really creepy but I think the true evil and power is really avoided. I find it sad to think that people aren't scared of Satan anymore, they just think he's a fairy tale- he's still actually a really big deal who possesses really big consequences and the way he's depicted in pop-culture isn't all that helpful sometimes.

But anyway it's still a really good movie, i really recommend it. Plus Anton is pretty good looking too.

























bye.
