kindigoI've never seen mist so thick. And because of the landscape, not only does it look like if you stray too far from the road you'll fall off the edge of the world and be lost forever, but you really can. Fall off, I mean. Sudden cliffs were never a danger in Silent Hill! IT never taught me how to handle this! Zombies, yes (die messily); cliffs, no (also die messily)!!! Thanks for nothing, Silent Hill!!
Yesterday was (besides International Talk Like A Pirate Day) a Day Out With Class 10b. We all went to the Kino, and saw 'Das Parfum' (English title 'Perfume', I think).
It is an English-made movie (starring Ben Whishaw, Dustin Hoffman, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Alan Rickman), based off a German book. And let me tell you it is very German.
It's about this guy who has like this supersensitive nose, because he is born without an aroma of his own. At one point he meets this girl who has an amazing scent, and accidentally kills her. He becomes obsessed with reproducing her smell, so he becomes a perfumist. And then starts killing girls to try to reproduce this beautiful smell. Then he gets caught.
Spoiler------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So he's killing all these girls and perfecting his perfume, then he gets caught. But aha! he's finished the perfume. So when they drag him out to be executed, he pulls out The Perfume and gives everyone a whiff. They fall at his feet, calling him 'eine Engel' ladeda, everyone loves him, he drops a scented handkerchief, the crowd has an orgy.
Yes. In Germany this movie was rated 12. As in Suitable for 12 year olds. The entire town square has an explicit orgy.
(An actually my respect for Alan Rickman- (Anna and I kept snickering because we kept thinking of Snape XD, she told me his German voice actor was the same for both roles)-my respect for Alan Rickman has done a strange thing, because while this orgy is going on in the background he has an emotional scene, and I can't even imagine how...interesting that was for him to do ._. .
So yeah, he's pardoned 'cos he smells so good. He goes wandering off.
You'd think that was the end, but oh no this is German.
So wandering, he is guilty cos of the first chick he killed, and all emo he finds these like, nasty homeless people, who are all like nasty and diseased. And he dumps all of the perfume on himself. And the nasty people all converge on him in a lump of hungry zombies, and when they wander away again all that's left of him is...the empty perfume bottle.
End Spoiler--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had an interesting moment when I mentioned Riley- Sandra asked me if he was my boyfriend, and without thinking I said, 'Ne, he's gay.' Unique silence settled around like the morning mist, there. XD
They all seem surprised that, yes I consider myself a Protestant Christian, yes, my best friend is Catholic, no I don't care, yes my other best friend is gay, no it doesn't bother me, and to top it all off he's a Wiccan and I don't care about that either, and did you know I have a gay communist Buddhist friend as well? What do you think of that, eh? Some of my friends are completely atheists! *shock* and *alarm*, you say...? Good ol' USA.
SO ladies and gents, did you enjoy International Talk Like A Pirate Day?? YOU DIDN'T CELEBRATE IT??? Bei Stoertebeckers Bart, über die Planke schicken!
You Leichtmatrosen, you don't even know to avoid the Klabautermann! (As you can see, I celebrated like a good German pirate. And everyone asked me why I 'spoke' in plattdeutsch (Hamburg accent. XD)
Also I thought I'd note that today I can report a successful Malfoy sighting! (yey.)
And in closing, good bye, Godspeed und immer eine steife Brise!
*wanders off singing* Ich hebb mol en Hamburger Feermaster sehn Tomyhoooooday, tomyhoooooday, de Masten so schiep as dem Schiffer sein Bein Tomyhoooooday hodayhoooooh...

Okay. Now for my response.
OMG. WTF. Rickman movie that I need to see. Also, if the fog was that thick, do you think that you could walk on it or something?
