daSpam subject line, as above. But... 4 what? I'm curious. (The body didn't help, it was full of Prozbac, Ambwien, and Geneeirc Vawigra.)
Weekend that was:
We went to a dinner of yummy sushi at Ye's, with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mtffm & the_infamous_j, where we traded "how we met" stories and tried to not overeat.
Before, we saw Pan's Labrynth, which was a surprising film for me, even after reading a number of reviews. It was surprisingly rooted in the real (grim) world; surprisingly ambiguous in meanings; and, dare I say, surprisingly original with the fantasy parts. I liked it, though I think it's the most violent movie I've watched through, in ages.. Usually not my thing.
The Guardian's interview with Guillermo del Toro is interesting. "Goya was an obvious reference...There is a scene in which the Pale Man bites the heads off the fairies. That comes straight from Goya's painting of Saturn devouring his son."
"...Hansel and Gretel is essentially about a famished family who send their children into the woods to die. Cinderella is about a child being tortured. ...Fairytales pit harsh circumstances against a fantasy world. Pan's Labyrinth is no different."
