Passion overdone

we watched the passion of the christ tonight. i had wanted to watch it for some time. i actually really wanted to watch it on its original released date, which was ash wednesday. thank god i didnt, i think it would of been the first movie i ever walked out on ( i generally dont believe walking out on films because u pay good money to watch them ) 

it was the most violent film i have ever watched and im a huge fan of violent films. in consist of 10 minutes where Jesus gets beaten, whipped and flayed to an inch of his life where strips of his flesh are torn off his body and this is all before the stations of the cross and the crucifixion. half way through this i mentally turned off the movie. i started whinging that the movie was anti-semitic and saying that mel gibson only put this movie on for his own sadistic pleasure. i expected the violence but it was way to much, the movie should of focused on the teachings of Jesus rather the horrifying violence that gibson increased with theatrical license. i was that convinced it was going way over the top i spent the rest of the movie reading 6 gospels to prove it. then i spent an hour researching on the wikipedia the movie and its accuracy and controversy over its anti semitic interpretations. gibson states its not suppose to be anti-semitic that it just shows the truth of the crucifixion of Jesus but i just cant believe that after watching the film. and even though Jesus's death was brutal and violent i still dont believe gibson can justified the violence in the film, which he claims he put in to shock ppl. 

i was sadly disappointed in this film i was expecting it to inspire my faith, which it didnt (even though i did read gospels it was more about proving my point rather then for my faith.

Living in the Nest

Adrian discovered this great reality show on SBS recently. its a show about kids in their 20's still living at home and why and the explore the myths and real reasons why kids in their 20's still live at home with their parents. the show features 3 families 

The Currans 

Chris and Kerri have at least 3 children which includes 27 yr old Jeremy. Jeremy has a well paying job, a nice car and also has the disposable income of 3 other means including internet trading. Jeremy says he lives at home for the financial security. this means he can gamble 80k on the stock market, travel over seas and still know he has a home to go home to. Jeremy has moved out before and has also lived over seas. 

The Troches 

Oscar and Marta and their only child 25 yr old Anielka. Anielka is a full time student and works part time. she borrows her parents car and the most shoking thing is she has no bank account in stead her pay goes into her fathers account and he gives her cash as she needs it. this is because at one stage Anielka spent all her pay in one go so she cant be trusted with her own money. she did move out when she was younger but had a falling out with her room mates so she moved back home. the family even relocated to a bigger house to accommodate a growing Anielka. 

The Wilkinsons 

Paul and Jenny's 4 children all still live at home in their large family home and all pay bored which the Wilkinsons need to maintain the mortgage on  their home. they are a tight-nit family where everyone seems to be enjoying the situation. 

Scott 27yrs, Scott works full time, own business installing car air conditioners. he has designed a system for improving car engine running. he was living out of home but moved back in when Jenny was diagnosed with breasts cancer. 

Aaron 26yrs. his girlfriend, Fernanda also lives at home with them

Tara 23yrs is a working full time as a receptionist

Elise 20 yrs is a fulltime child care worker

the first experiment is moving the children out. they move tara and elise into house. this is for under 25s. and scott, aaron, fernanda, anilka, and jeremy are moved out together in the over 25 house. this is because their is diffrent myths for different ages. they are giving $500 each to kit out the house and can bring anything they want from home. the myths are that its too expensive to move out of home and ppl find it hard to share houses. in less then a day both houses are fully furnitured and they have moved in. the next experiment their bankcards and credit cards are taking away and they are given an average pay to live off that has the expenses already taken out. they are to record all their expenditure. this throws all of them into discomfort as they are all used to having more money. 

meanwhile the parents are enjoying their new found freedom particularly the troches. 

everyone settles in ver quikly elise and tara seem very successful able to mange their money and enjoying living out of home.

anilka is still dependent on her parents she is borrowing their car still, and her parents are often at the share house. she also has trouble living with her house mates

the next part they move the kids back in. much to every ones dismay. anilka parents have new rules for her about her role in the house as does jeremy and his rent is also increased ($300 a week!!!) 

then roles are reversed so each person can appreciate others roles in  the house. its revealed jeremy does "sweet FA" as he puts it

anilka relishes in the roles reversal with her being completely nasty to her parents.

this whole show surprises me. i myself who moved out at 18 have trouble imagining why you would choose to live at home if you had the finical stability to move out. the troches seem to have a 3 person marriage and anikla has the impression she imposes herself onto her parents marriage and fights constantly with her father. what 25 yr old dosnt have a bank account? 

the series ends next week. it looks like jeremy will stay at home even though it is very easy for him to move out his girlfriend even found him a share house right in t he cbd for less rent then he pays to his parents. anilka looks like she will move out. and unfortnualty the wilkinsons will have to sell their beloved family home that they have raised all their children in as the children move out. 

Favourite Movies A

im using my massive dvd collection and my wish list for this list and i still think it will be incomplete but its the best i could do :)

American Pie trilogy  have to say the trilogy as they all go together but the original is the best obviously it was beyond funny when  i went to see it when i was 17. american pie 2 was all so great because all the cast reprised their roles and was faithful to the original. now the wedding is funny but they felt the need to outdo the previous two films with "jim embarrassing moments" and "stiffler gross moments" which were ott by the 3rd installments.

[while looking at a picture of Stifler's mom]

Trivia

The tuxedo that Sherman wears to the prom is the same one that Steve Buscemi wore in The Wedding Singer (1998).

The line, "Say my name, bitch," from the scene between Jason and Michelle was ad-libbed on the spot by Alyson Hannigan. The director and producer found it so amusing that it was kept in the final cut.

Quotes

Carolyn Burnham: Uh, whose car is that out front? 
Lester Burnham: Mine. 1970 Pontiac Firebird. The car I've always wanted and now I have it. I rule! 

---

Carolyn Burnham: This is a $4,000 sofa, upholstered in Italian silk. It is not just a couch. 
Lester Burnham: [shouts] It's just a couch! 

Carolyn Burnham: Your father and I were just discussing his day at work. Why don't you tell our daughter about it, honey? 
Lester Burnham: Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus. 
Carolyn Burnham: Your father seems to think this type of behavior is something to be proud of. 
Lester Burnham: And your mother seems to prefer I go through life like a fucking prisoner while she keeps my dick in a mason jar under the sink. 
Carolyn Burnham: How dare you speak to me that way in front of her. And I marvel that you can be so contemptuous of me, on the same day that you LOSE your job. 
Lester Burnham: Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, "Whoops! Where'd my job go?" I QUIT. Someone pass me the

 asparagus. 

Lester Burnham: I am sick and tired of being treated like I don't exist. You two do whatever you want, whenever you want to do it, and I don't complain.

Trivia 

The last name of Mena Suvari's character, Angela Hayes, is probably a reference to the last name of Lolita Haze, from the Vladimir Nabokov novel "Lolita."

Lester Burnham, a middle-aged man who develops an infatuation with an adolescent girl, is an update of Humbert Humbert from the classic novel "Lolita." "Lester Burnham" is an anagram for "Humbert learns."

Like his earlier film, The Usual Suspects (1995), this film ends with a Kevin Spacey voice-over, with the screen fading to black before he speaks the final words. ("You will someday" in this film; "He's gone" in The Usual Suspects (1995).)

In Lester's cubicle we see a small movie poster for The Usual Suspects (1995).

Macaroni and Tofu Bake....Actually YUM!!

adrian and i collect cook books, at one stage we had more then 50!. we culled them down and now have less, we probably have 20 now. we dont use them enough and i complain about it. adrian also buys Good Taste Magazine every month from Woolworth's. i have now made a rule that we need to cook the recipes out of the magazine if he wants to buy it. so last night we decided to make Cauliflower and Bacon Macaroni Cheese. i changed it up a bit, by adding broccoli and using tofu "cream" cheese because adrian couldnt find normal cream cheese at woolies. it was very yum. so here is the recipe. 

Ingredients 

290g of pasta (we used macaroni)

1/4 cauliflower cut into small pieces

broccoli cut into small pieces

250g diced bacon.

1 brown onion

1tsp of crushed/minced garlic

250g cream cheese (we used tofu)

2 1/2 cups of milk

1 tbs of dijon mustard (i used american mustard)

150g of grated cheese 

2tbs fresh parsley 

1. in a large sauce pan of boiling salted water boil the pasta for 8-9 minutes or until al dente. steam the vegetables. saute the bacon and onions with the garlic.

2. in a blender combine the cream cheese, milk and mustard. add salt and pepper to taste.

3. in a large bowl combine all ingredients except for 1/3 of the cheese 

4. pour into a large oven dish and bake in a pre heated oven for 20 minutes on 220 degrees. then grill for 5 minutes of until cheese is browned. 

Fave Music A

this may be harder then i thought!. if your reading this via my facebook u need to click the original version link to see the post properly on my blogger site.

so fave music for A is 3 ppl/groups

ABBA - i never thought i was an abba fan, but going through my ipod and itunes i have heaps of abba songs and so i guess i am. the winner takes it all is my favourite song. just because its not the typical song of abba's everyone likes and i liked the emotions agnetha shows in the film-clip

amanda marshall - i'll be okay, i loved this song from hearing it on the My best friends wedding soundtrack. the clip is just audio.

american hi fi - the art of loosing. i loved this from watching dawson creek. its a Jack song it plays it the final when he gets pulled over driving through capeside by doug witter. (this means nothing to no DC fans but i love that moment) i absoultly adore this song and can literally listen to it all day.

blog lifting....but music is sex

okay i saw this idea on my aunty's blog where she list her fav music a-z with youtube clips of vidoe clips i thought this was a great idea for someone who loves mucis as much as i do and find if difficult to "name my fav artist/group"
i love music so much always have bascially i equate music to sex. and if its not loud its not worth listening to! so when im driving around the music is blaring. adrian hates this. in his old age (when i first met him, i loved how he listened to music, you could hear him coming from streets away) he says that the music dosnt need to be above a 9 level in our car, when i love to listen to it at 25!
so stay tune for future post on this subject :)
im also going to do a movie version of it as well. im such a movie buff and am frequently on IMDB i thought id also compile a list of my fav movies a-z which will include quotes and trivia from the movie

Ghost make a lite sleeper lighter

so I'm fully aware how much of a freak im going to sound with this post but hre goes....
a couple of months ago for about a fortnight my lamp on my bedside table tuned its self on and off. it is a touch lamp , and no i didnt accidentally knock it. it took a couple of times for me to figure ou it was the lamp and not a random flash of light. weird thing is it dosnt flash through the dimmers that touch lamps have it flicks on straight to full light then off.
it only happens occasionally on my lamp now but every night Adrian's lamp now does it. the weirdest thing is it happens between 2.30 -3.00 am. every night! so if im not awake it manges to wake me up. it is now kinda freaking me out to an extent. is it a ghost? or is it an electrical problem with our lamps? both lamps? but it happens same time every night. same time!
very weird!!

Do these people have a heart?

over the last few days i have been going crazy watching documentaries on foxtel. the large proportion of shows i actually watch on foxtel are documentaries. i mainly watch the history channel, crime investigation and discovery home and health. subjects tend to watch are serial killer investigations, rebellious history, empire history, royal history, and Egyptian history and shows about ivf, multiples births and super large families. i also watch stuff about world wars particularly stuff about nazi occupation.
yesterday i watched 4 documentaries about Auschwitz-Birkenau. i know i cant believe i watched 4 of them in one day either. i have seen quiet a few of them now and but still constantly shocked that it happened that people actually planned to build a concentration camp for the sole purpose of mass murder. not only did they do that but they schemed a way to deport millions of Jewish people form all over Europe to the camps to murder them. and sometimes they even traded Jewish people from the French and British. the Slovakia government actually paid the nazis $500 for each Jewish person they deported to Auschwitz. the documentary spoke to one of the Slovakian guards who has participating in the deportation of Jewish Slovakians to Auschwitz. his job was to sort to the possessions left behind by the Jewish people. he laughed about how he and the other guards had done well by being able to take home cloths and shoes and other things left behind. he thought it was funny that he and others had benefited from the deportation of his fellow Slovakians. i couldn't believe he could just sit there and laugh. if i was him i would of been so ashamed that i had participated in the holocaust, and would not be laughing about it, even 60 years later. the interviewer asked him, how he could of participated in the deportation knowing that the people were being sent to their deaths. he said he was in two minds about it, saying it was "easier" with out Jewish Slovakians in Slovakia because they were "lazy" (he laughed as he said this) but at the same time he knew that "some people were innocent among them". i couldn't believe my ears "some?" none of the jewish people were guilty of anything ekes apart from being Jewish. how could he still maintain this fact after all these years?
they then spoke to a former nazi who states he did not want to participate in the deportation and that he was stationed at Auschwitz. ( i know that not all nazis were willing participants in the holocaust and some had no choice, but if i was one of these people the stuff that went on at Auschwitz would haunt me forever if i had bore witness to it) the guard spoke about how the people were divided up once they arrived off the trains and his job was to sort through the rubbish left behind (this was mostly suitcases and other possessions brought by Jews with them) he described how the "rubbish" even included people to sick or unable to move. he said he saw a guard drag a child "by its legs and threw it in the lorry when it cried they bashed it against the lorry and it become silent" again i couldn't believe he could refer to the child as "it" like it had no meaning like he still believed what Hitler was saying that the Jewsih people were "sub-human"
the guards all said that they generally believed that the Jewish people and the allies had a world plot against the Germans and were guilty. they were asked "but children? surly children were not guilty they could not have done anything to you?" the guard said "especially children, they would grow up to be Jews in was in their blood"
looking up at my title i realise that it is ill fitting because really of course they couldnt have a heart if they still feel this way.

so i made my brother a thief

on the school holidays mum and i took jack to Tarragona Zoo. he was excited to go until about an hour after we got there he was not interested in the animals at all and just wanted to go back home. he did like the animals he did see, and particularly liked the seals and zebras and the lions which when we were looking at them a female lion came right up to the glass and looked right at him. his favourite thing turned out to be the sky lift to get up there. on the way out we went through the gift shop and i got lost at the front door looking at kids books (ohh how unusual i here u say!) while mum and jack went in and shopped, jack brought a snow glob ( he loves them) with his tooth fairy money (he lost his first tooth the day before)
then while i was still looking mum walked out and left jack in the store with me at this point he had a spider toy in his hand which i assumed mum had brought him, on our way out he mentioned the spider and i said "yeah mum paid for that" and we walked out. when we were back outside and on our way down the sky lift mum sees the spider and says "oh did u buy him the spider?" i said "um no u did, didnt u?" she says "no!" then we realise that "oh O! we stole it" well i stole it. i turn to jack and said "u didnt buy that u stole it jack" he looked at mum and screamed "no i didnt it was Lisa! she didnt pay for it!!" i was so shoked he just gave me up in a heart beat! i said "well thats the last time i bring u in on anything, youd sell me out!"

p.s typically im normally dont intentionally steal and i wouldnt teach my 5 yr old brother to steal either
