Metal Mummy

I know I don’t usually write about things that are competely unrelated to being a mummy, but the new Leonardo DiCaprio movie inspired me to do so.

Being able to socialise of an evening has got gradually easier over the past few months, since Freyja doesn’t need my udders anymore, and also having moved closer to humanity. My dear mate Leila and I often nip off to the cinema of a Wednesday (It’s Orange Wednesdays and therefore half price) and yesterday was no different. We, as well as a few good mates, all decided to run off to see Inception – it’s had rave reviews (bar a couple) and rates 9.3 out of 10 on IMDB (or at least it did last time I checked). We knew it would be busy – it was the first Orange Wednesday since the release of the film, and the cinema was HEAVING, to the point where, despite arriving a bit earlier in the hope of grabbing good seats, we ended up in the second row from the front with our neck at a funny angle.

It was quite a long film – all in all, including trailers, being about 3 hours. But every single second of it was awesome. A few friends of mine were a bit confused by the plot when they had gone to see it (bear in mind it’s by the same guy, Christopher Nolan, who created Momento – another film which confused some of my friends). But I don’t think it was confusing at all as long as you continue to pay attention and bear in mind there’s lots of dream states going on. All I can say is I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m by no means a movie buff, and don’t really have a clue when it comes to writing about them in an expert way, and I’m not trying to do that here. I just wanted to write about it, because it is now in my list of fave films, and I will be getting it on Blu-Ray when it’s released. Maybe Freyja will enjoy it when she grows up too.

Awesome.
