Sorry I wasn't around for a while, shortly after my last post I went to Hong Kong and Australia for Ski-holidays (yes, in Switzerland you get a 2 week holiday to ski) and after that I had to work.
So now I'm back!
Anyway, today I thought I'd blog about mirrors. I know not my normal blogging style but who cares?
I got the idea while doing my math homework, the problem was to construct the mirror-image of the geometrical form and where the mirror would be if its mirrored figure were in a certain place, etc. And it got me thinking, what would life be without mirrors? I mean, we all take mirrors for granted really, usually what one wonders is: What would life be like without friends or family or technology; but never really mirrors. Would we even know how we looked like without them? Sure, we could see ourselves in the reflection of glass or a pool of water, but never really all too clear.
I remembered an episode of "Charmed" I had once watched in which mirrors were labeled as portals for demons to cross into our world. Apparently if you were to summon a demon you'd have to do it through a mirror. I remember being terrified and never looking into a mirror at night!
Also, my sister told me once that there's a myth that when the clock chimes midnight and one turns 13 times around oneself and calls Bloody Mary's name 3 times she appears in the mirror.
Or the rhyme: "On Halloween look in the glass, your future husbands face will pass."
I don't really believe in any of this stuff anymore, but I still would like to know why they all involve a mirror...
Ideas?
Change of subject:
Movies I'd really like to see:
1. Limitless
--> About a writer who gets some pills from a friend which allows him to use his whole brain instead of the average. And that attracts some hitmen and Robert De Niro for some reason...
Reasons I wanna' watch this: - Robert De Niro!
- Hitmen!
- Pills!
2. No Country for Old Men
--> About a guy who finds $2 Million in the desert where a drug deal went wrong. He is then chased by an unemotional killer, also some Sheriff is trying to convince him to give the money to the police...
Reason: I know it's old but I've never seen it and I like Javier Bardem, also it's supposed to be pretty badass!
3. Black Swan
--> About a ballet dancer who finally lands the dream-role of the swan princess in a production of Swan Lake. She is a perfect portrayal of the white swan (perfect, can do no wrong) but not of the black one. Mila Kunis however is. This makes her go crazy or so... (and I know, I'm like the last person on earth not to have watched this)
Reasons: - Natalie Portmann won an Oscar for this
- Mila Kunis!
- Mental Instability!
4. Source Code
--> About a dude who wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train.
Reasons: - Jake Gyllenhaal <3
- A race against the clock!
- Action sequences!
5. Sucker Punch
--> About a girl who's locked up amongst others in a mental hospital. They all imagine a way to get out in a fantasy world or so... (I'm not sure about that part but that's what I gather from the trailer...)
Reasons: - More mental instability!
- Action Sequences!
- Quests!
Here's the trailer, if you gather more from it then I did please let me know!
Anyways, I wanted to somehow tie this in with something about mirrors, but I can't really think of anything, so if you've got any ideas let me know!
Elle
P.S.: Notice I was totally right regarding the Oscars!
I guessed correctly in every category!
Did you guys think they were all deserved? I think it's about time they gave one to Colin Firth and I love Natalie Portman and of course Batman so I was ok with it. Also didn't you think the X-Rated acceptance speech from Melissa Leo was hilarious?!
Thoughts?
