Today, I also finished watching Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story. In case you haven't noticed, I'm totally a huge fan of Dylan Moran, and I decided to watch the movie because I heard he was in it. I was disappointed by his small role, but even so, that was not my real issue with the movie. For those of you who don't know, this is a movie about making a movie, namely, Tristram Shandy. So, there are scenes from the movie, and the rest is about the cast and crew. Personally, I found the scenes from Tristram to be very interesting and funny, but the rest of the film was kinda boring to me :( Sadly, I would prolly rate this movie about a 4 out of 10.
But, I am going to check out the book that inspired it all: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy.
WHAT?! This movie was brilliant! I have been meaning to read the book as well... sigh.

P.G.Wodehouse was on NPR the other day... not like, in person... They were recommending one of his books, and I said "EMMY!"
I'm sorry we do not see eye-to-eye on Tristram. Its not that I hated it, and I was prolly a littl harsh (I was tired and a bit stressd) but its still not my favorite movie... :(
ReplyDeleteSo exciting about Wodehouse! And it makes me so happy that it made you think of me :D
I can't understand the meaning of "prolly"... sorry...
ReplyDeletecan you help me, please? tx!!!
I too heard the piece on Woodhouse and like Steven meant to tell you about it. It's that thing I forgot.
ReplyDeleteForgetfulness is an affliction I'm having to learn to live with.
Eep! Sorry, Amabra! "Prolly" is a term I use with my friends at school (I think they invented it) and I sometimes forget that everyone knows it... "Prolly" means "Probably". As in, "I'll probably ride my bike today." "I'll PROLLY ride my bike today."
ReplyDeleteHope that helps! :S
Sorry...NOT everybody knows it (Stupid typos...)
ReplyDeleteok, tx!
