Films, Australian Gladiators, Poll
At the weekend we went to see Step Up 2 The Streets and Son of Rambow. I liked both of them more than I thought I would. The dancing in Step Up 2 was quite great, though I think that they could have cut back DRAMATICALLY on the amount of white people telling black people what to do. I liked that they had Tyler from the first film at the beginning, though I'd thought that Andie was the sort-of-sister that he had a great relationship with in the first film, but she wasn't. I think I would have got more out of Son of Rambow if I'd ever seen a Rambo film. I'd been rather meh about the trailer, but it wasn't too cloying or awful - I liked how the French boy was seen as a dork by the other French students.
When we got back we watched the first episode of the new Australian series of Gladiators, which was bizarre. It's the same as ever, which is good. I suppose I actually mean that it's the same as the British version, as I haven't seen the Australian one before - the main differences are the accents, and on the Eliminator both the men and women do the monkey bars, and they rope-swing through water instead of paper, which upsets me a bit as I really liked the paper breaking bit. Anyway. The gladiators are ODD. The women are mostly blonde and look the same - there is one with blue hair and one with huge brunette hair, but apart from that they all look freakily similar. One is called Angel and has feathers in her hair. ANGEL. What kind of a name is that for a gladiator, hmm?? The men are slightly better, but all of their costumes look the same, and don't fit terribly well. My man was a tree surgeon and won. I am looking forward to the new UK series now.
This poll is quite intrusive, so obviously people should feel free to skip it altogether or only answer whatever they feel like. Also people who don't menstruate probably don't have anything to say to the first two questions. Basically, I have never even tried to keep track of my periods, and am never expecting them to show up, and have lately been wondering if this is a dire failure at womanhood. Then I thought that as I was being nosey anyway I might as well add in the question about nipple-licking that I had been pondering for some time.
