    Movies at Brooklyn

    Going to see "the lives of others" at penthouse in brooklyn.  Playing at 8.30 Monday.  
    plot line:
    A riveting drama set in East Germany 1984 about a hardened Stasi agent whose entire perspective on life is changed when he is assigned to carry out surveillance on a playwright and his actress girlfriend. Over time to his surprise the agent comes to increasingly empathize with the couple he spends so much time eavesdropping on and this empathy leads to complex and shattering results.

    Cool Beans Sarah

    but beware- kieran smells!

    don't worry jess he will be banished.... we will lock him in the basement and throw away the key. 

    good idea sarah, but make sure you steal his headlamp first, brooklyn gets a bit sketchy after 10 ;)

    i reackon it will be a whole lot less sketchy once kieran is locked in the basement, what do you think jess?

     oh definitly. right, now that its safe for everyone to come, we expect a crowd!

    Did you hear someone invited johnny depp? I bet he will turn up, can't see why he wouldn't...

    Well, he might be intimidated by the brooklyn coolness, but we will make sure he feels welcome!

     if he dresses as a pirate he might just be able to meet the coolness criteria

    indeed. right, shall we add any other incentives sarah? i mean really, johnny here and keiran in the basement, people should be pretty excited now.

    can't think of any... but i would recommend to anyone who wants to up their coolness stakes that dressing as a pirate is to be highly recommended, as yes i know it doesn't really relate to the film, but you could say darrrhh with a german accent and i'm sure that will tie in with the theme nicely.

    i'm sure it would. other coolness points could be awarded for yummy or interesting food, high class smuggled alchoholic beverages, and monkey suits. extra points if you get a weird look from the receptionist lady ;)

     we may as well add crossdressing to the list, given that there are so many people who are so good at it. 

    great idea! and since kieran is locked up, why dont we invite Tina?

    yeah tina is so cool, much nicer smelling than kieran i must say.  and those legs.... well....

    right. since thats all sorted now, i say we go plan how to smuggle in three bags of popcorn in your purse...might need an extension...

     i can only fit one in mine, but tina has a big purse, and her lumpy breasts are made out of, what was it again... popcorn?

    careful now, dont want to scare people away. ok people, you get the point, get your butts up to brooklyn tomorrow!

    if anyone is still reading this and has actually bothered to listen to our ramblings i have two points. one you have too much time on your hands and two, no i forgot what two was....

    ah, such enlightenment from sarah, enjoy the night kids,

    Sarah the Savvy and Jess the Mess

    Savvy like from pirates.. well that's a good choice of words if i do say so myself     arrggghh i agree says johnny

    Re: Movies at Brooklyn

    yeah - I'll be 8.30 at the cinema.

    Note that it won last year's oscar for best non-english movie. So it's probably the best movie in the world ;-)

    Remembering Marie A. (Erinnerung an die Marie A.)  

    Berthold Brecht

    It was a day in that blue month September
    Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade
    I held her there
    My love, so pale and silent
    As if she were a dream that must not fade

    Above us in the shining summer heaven
    There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon
    It was quite white and very high above us
    Then I looked up
    And found that it had gone

    And since that day, so many moons in silence
    Have swum across the sky and gone below
    The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood
    And if you ask, how does that love seem now
    I must admit, I really can't remember
    And yet I know what you are trying to say
    But what her face was like, I know no longer
    I only know I kissed it on that day

    As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it
    But for the cloud that floated in the sky
    I know that still and shall forever know it
    It was quite white and moved in very high
    It may be that the plum trees still are blooming
    That woman's seventh child may now be there
    And yet that cloud had only bloomed for minutes
    When I looked up
    It vanished on the air
