I saw Airplane! this weekend. Good, good stuff. I finally get the jokes my brother always tells me. Slapstick at its finest.

My cooking teacher told me it was a really boring film and that it was one of Bill Murray's worst films.

I really like Bill in Ed Wood.

to the scandinavian guys - do you know the movie "Popular Music From Vittula"? its a swedish production and I think about watching it today.

here's the story


Popular Music from Vittula is an eye-opening and drastic story about two close friends Matti and Niila, growing up in the mid sixties in the harsh and conservative environment of a Finnish-speaking part of Tornedalen in Swedish Laponia, close to the Finnish border. Their big dream is to become rock stars. In the present the now grown up Matti feels guilt for the death of his drug-addicted rock star friend Niila.

It is a region that feels less worthy and has no real national identity, since they speak neither perfect Swedish nor perfect Finnish and do not feel like real Swedes or Finns. The boys live in a small town called Vittula (means pussy-swamp, it was named this because so many children were born there).

When they first hear the Beatles single Rock and Roll Music, their lives change forever. The music intoxicates them and becomes a weapon with which Niila fights for independence from his tyrannically religious father and reaches for the idea of tangible freedom (climbing the Himalayas one day ). In Vittula playing music is not considered masculine, but finally when they are fifteen a new music teacher helps with their struggle.

Eventually the friends go separate ways, Matti is interested in girls and lets down Niila and the band. Niila never forgives Matti and says he cannot stand the intolerance and the nothingness of life in the north.

In the epilogue, Matti, who still lives in Vittula, carries the urn with Niila´s ashes up to the top of a mountain in the Himalayas. Matti learnt an important life lesson from Niila, that if you are brave and follow your heart you will finally reach the top.

Yeah, I know it but haven't seen it myself. What I've heard, it divides opinions quite a lot and some like it, some don't. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314524/

Also, if you could get your hands on the finnish movie called "Vares: Private Eye", I'd recommend to see it. Though I don't know what non-finns would think of it...I think it's one of the best domestic movies lately.

I've been watching Monty Python's again...and I came to a conclusion that Life Of Brian is their best movie. Jolly good!

Just watched Land of the Dead.

Haha, fucking awesome.
