Movies

Just saw Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? Very good. I saw a norwegian taped theatre performance of that play once. I thought they were pretty good. But by comparing them to Burton and Taylor they were nothing.. But I guess it's not really fair to compare.. I wonder how big a portion of my life I've spent watching movies. I looked at the Imdb top 250.. Well, here's the top 100 - those in bold I've seen. And I have seen some of the others, but I must not have paid much attention, cause I can't remember much of them. Like I know I've seen the two first godfather movies, but I must have been half asleep cause I can't remember them... And considering they are both in the top 5, I guess they should've made an impact.. And also the Star wars series. I have seen them, but I can't remember how they go...which one is which.. Must pay more attention. Otherwise I have to see them again. And spend even more time of my life in front of the tv.. Well not that I mind. I enjoy seeing movies more than once - well some... 2001 A space odessey.. I can't bring myself to sit through the whole thing.. I just don't get it. I think in total I've seen the whole thing.. But that is spread over 4 different attempts...
