I had a good day.

I drove my father to get his bike tyre fixed in his lunch break, so he bought me lunch. It was just a sandwich, but still, they always seem better bought. And a lamington. Then I watched a movie, and then I played The Sims, and then I went out to dinner with my friend. It wasn't an EXCITING day, but it was really nice.

Today I saw La Mala Educacion (Bad Education)

Well, to start with, it wasn't what I was expecting. Actually, saying 'it wasn't what I expected' is putting my surprise mildly. The structure and the theme of the movie were totally different to anything else I've seen of Almodovar's. I'm not going to reveal...well, any of the plot here, actually, partly because I doubt many people on my flist have seen it and partly because to ruin the tiniest bit might ruin the whole thing. It's dark and sexy and unapologetically film noir, and I think Gael Garcia Bernal might just be my favourite femme fatale *ever*.

Dude, GGB. He is so utterly beautiful, both as a man AND as a woman. He was so mysterious and sexy and WONDERFUL in this. He's an enigma until almost at the end. Such an excellent actor, I'm telling you.

The film is gorgeous, too. Almodovar knows his way around colours like nobody else. I've never seen such a vibrant film noir in my life. The actors are all so good too, except maybe the guy who played Enrique, who I wasn't feeling. He totally looks like William Fichtner, though.

The themes the film explored were so unsettling and unusual as well. It's all a bit disturbing, actually, but in a brilliant sort of way.

8 out of 10.

To celebrate my viewing of Bad Education, I present






























I have no idea how I missed him in the mouth spam. His mouth is so unusual and so gorgeous.

Gael is such a beautiful, beautiful man.

[bunnyflower.livejournal.com]

Arrgh. Too. Much. Pretty. I'm not sure you realise just how much you've made my day.

And I'm also quite freaked out because I was JUST thinking how it's been a week since I watched Y Tu Mama Tambien and how I wanted to watch it again... and then I check my flist and, well, GAEL OVERLOAD.

This is the best GGB picspam i've ever seen, I should know by now that you're picspam queen, but you still amaze me.

Gael is so beautiful. It's the eyes, for me. His eyes are gorgeous.

[crystal-lily.livejournal.com]

GGB is just so incredibly beautiful. :D I usually make it a point to not watch foreign films (I don't know why... it's this thing I have), but somehow I managed to watch three of the films he's been in (which is, for me, quite a lot). :D He was incredible in Bad Education, and he does make the prettiest woman. :D

And WOW, that picspam... *dies*

[elodiek.livejournal.com]

GAAEEEELLLLLLLL!!! OMG!
How is it possible that you put in pictures I have never seen before? *scratches head* Well, now I have them all.
He was so good in La Mala Educacion. He should have had an Oscar nomination.

Isn't this the best cover ever?

Mmm...Gael is so much teh pretty.

[mon-starling.livejournal.com]

Oh my GOD I am DEAD from all the pretty. THANK YOU. He was incredible in Bad Education (I have a thing for noir, and it has Gael, so the movie is pretty much my favourite from everything I´ve seen by Almodovar) and he is just SO GORGEOUS. Guuuuuuh.

Aaaand, he is shooting a movie in Buenos Aires right now. Which makes me wonder: what am I doing here, typing this, when I could be stalking him instead?

[tristantrakand.livejournal.com]

I find the picture with the sandwich and the girls with their mouth open incredibly hilarious. And suggestive. And hot. Stop me now I'm crazy.

1. Gael is love. *licks him*

2. That is my all time favorite picture of Dom! I don't understand why I don't have that iconized.

[neuilly.livejournal.com]

Oh how I do love Gael! Thanks for the spam :) And also very happy to hear you saw that movie. I know of almost nobody who's seen it, although I understand why....foreign language, tough subject matter, etc. But I love both Gael and Almo.! So I was happy when they decided to work together. I could go into lots of things about the film but I shall keep the page spoiler free.
