Son of Rambow

I went with my friend "Frank" (he says I'm not allowed to leave his real name on here because he has this phobia of leaving a trace...dude whatever! you're about to be a published author, GET OVER IT!) last night, who is in town finishing up research for his book to go see

Son of Rambow (watch the trailer there). This film was HILARIOUS!
Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm obsessed with accents.
Wish I had one. Spell things like I'm British. Anything British I love.
I don't want to move there or anything, but I do love the films. I seem to "get" British humour (see!) more than American for some reason.

Anyway, this film is about schoolboys and their friendships and hard times, but with a hilarious slant on it. If this picture doesn't make you want to go see it - we can never be friends.

Also a lovely shot of "Frank" crossing the street with the flags. It's quite the phenomenon downtown Salt Lake City because 1) people actually use them 2) people actually put them back! I swear this is the only city in the world where there wouldn't constantly be a shortage due to people thieving the orange flag.

Interestingly enough, we went to dinner before the film to Pei Wei (i'm addicted to the Lo Mein noodle bowl!) This kind of couple sat down next to us on the outside patio and the guy got up to go do something and the girl just started talking to us. I'm not sure if she started it - or just looked at "FRANK" and made him awkward so then HE started the conv....i can't be bothered with the specifics. Anyway, then proceeds to tell us that she's taking a Communications class at the U and her assignment is to break a social "norm". She thought striking up a conversation with strangers at a table...a GOOD 5 ft away was breaking a social norm. SERIOUSLY! "Frank" then proceeded to tell her that at his college he teaches at he teaches a social problems class and has his students do the same type of experiment. His stories were WAY better. He showed her!

Also this week, more class! PS - my professor is a total HOTTIE! I totally took the wrong approach in college taking classes and not inspecting the professor before hand. Clearly that was the missing link on getting me to learn (to not look stupid in front of said hottie) and to actually ATTEND THE CLASS! I'm not gonna lie to you - I could go everyday this guy is that cute. YUM!

Okay - now you are caught up on my week. Lovely. (except for my Latin Dance Aerobics class.) Out of respect, that deserves it's own post.
