Anniversary

yesterday marked the day that the boy and i first went on a date, two years since we both had tickets for Otto; Or Up With Dead People at the melbourne international film festival, and what an anniversary we had. it started early in the morning with a lovely trip to gold class at crown where we enjoyed indulgent lamb kebab skewers and grilled eggplant, the best coffee i've had in a while, best g&t and fruit tingles also, and one of the best movies i have seen in a long time. i know it's crazy it took us this long to see inception, but after our first gold class experience we said we'd go to gold class for our anniversary and when we looked at film release dates at the start of the year, inception was the best one going to be on, so that's what we settled on. for the record, film critics, thanks for under selling the intelligence of the movie going public. hard to follow my arse. how did you get to be a film critic if you're so stupid you couldn't follow nolan's genius? go back to film school buddy.
i don't think i can say anything about it without giving anything away, so i shall probably just leave it at this, it was thrilling, thought provoking, visually stunning, exciting, and just plain brilliant. go see it now.
then we went to the festival lounge, squeezed into a cute little wicker chair and had some champagne (well i had champagne, the boy had beer) and we had a little shnuggle. then we went to the toff to get out yearly dose of the best but most expensive lamb chops of all time (they're probably not, but we're students so we can't afford that all the time) and some chicken skewers. and of course another drink. then we went to max brennar to get chocolate because coco black was closed. then we went to queue up and see SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD and it was THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. well, it was pretty good anyway. michael cera was so placid (as he always is) and cute, but also a bit of a bad ass. the action was incredible, the video game aesthetics were hilarius, the sound track was great, the gags were unbelievably hilarius. film of the festival basically, i love love loved it. and i think perhaps i'll go see it again next week.
the rest of the day i'll keep to myself. we have to have some of our own little jokes and stories.
