Waltz with Bashir

To complete my last Sunday experiences, I must conclude with my rendezvous with Julia. We met up for some good fish and chips--in a little place in Covent Garden--and finished the night with a movie--Waltz with Bashir. The fish and chips were AWESOME! A little pricy, but quite worth it. We got a plate full of fish and weird fries with all the tarter sauce, which tastes different over here than it does in the states, and vinegar you could handle. Then Jules told me to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Which was quite good, but very, very rich. It reminded me of the Tom Sullock Cake we make for birthdays except with Carmel Cake smothered in Carmel Sauce and Vanilla Custard. Not too bad.

After that we head to Piccadilly to watch the movie at the ODEON. But to our surprise a premier is showing. That one with Leo and Kate--Revolutionary Road. Oh man, I was so disappointed with people, yet again. They act like they are about to see an alien or something. Pathetic. So all hopes of seeing the movie were crushed. Until, of course, we noticed another ODEON on the other side of the street. We go over there to realize there is ANOTHER one showing our movie 20 seconds down the road. Goodness, all this effort for a cartoon. So we head over there to see this movie. Lol, it was quite disappointing to see the screen, it was about 80 inches--the equivalent to a large screen TV in states, a very large one granted, but still. It was so small. I thought I would be quite disappointed. To my surprise, I was rather taken aback by the film. Quite depressing and really intense, but beautiful in many respects. One of those movies that socks you in the gut. It is an indie foreign film that isn't showing everywhere, so I am glad I had the opportunity to see it.
