Well, just had a wonderful day, even though the "day" part isn't exactly over in the fullest sense.
Woke up to the sound of peace and a "Day-off" atmosphere and decided I'd be happy for the day, considering I knew I was off to see "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus", anyway, I woke up early for some reason and cracked on with my latest sculpt, more on that in due course, i.e. not in this journal entry, and then my mum, sister and me set off to the cineworld where we partake of visual feasts.
The next showing of the film wasn't until ten past two so we decided to go for a meal and do a bit of early Christmas shopping, a T.G.I Friday (is that possible on a Tuesday?)and a Dalek collectors figure set later, we went into the local Sainsbury's to get rations etc. As we walked from the car to the store I happened to glance at my shadow, I was wearing my new coat with the lapels up and my hands in its pockets, at the time of looking at said shadow I was scratching my head and to an element of surprise I was shocked at how I looked like Tom Baker, albeit in shadow form, you see I kind of walk with that almost slumped stride of his and it was weird (hence the title of this entry), anyway during my usual wanderings around the store I came across the book section and got my second surprise of the day, I flicked through the Doctor Who storybook for 2010 and the very very first page, well, the inside of the front cover, showed the Doctor examining a crystal of some sort from the murky waters he was standing in, and to my fanboy amazement, around him, creeping up on the good Doctor was a Voord! Well, a few Voord actually, slightly updated obviously but there and obvious nonetheless, that really made me smile considering none of the stories in the book involved them, classic who-ness for the sake of classic who-ness it seemed, and I loved it.
Anyway, later after that we set off for the cinema to the usual sight of queues etc, but we stuck with it, like the British people we were and eventually made it to our theatre and our seats nestled within it.
The film rolled along wonderfully, could not have been more Terry Gilliam if he tried and I loved every mad and obscure moment, even though the girls behind me saying "Its so weird" as if its a bad thing kind of annoyed the feeling of enjoyment.
The film brought many joys, seeing Heath Ledger playing the mysterious and dark figure of Tony Shephard and then there was Lily Cole...good lord...Lily Cole....Lily C-, anyway, as the film progressed it became apparant to me this was a masterpeice, then suddenly out of nowhere popped Paloma Faith and Montserrat Lombard (Thus. Becky, thus)playing two normal girls being lured into Parnassus' mysterious mirror.
Then came Johnny Depp in full wide-eyed fashioned as always, then Jude Law looking uncannily like Depp who looked like Ledger who looked slightly like Michael Keaton...anyone?, and then came Colin Firth, the only one of the previous chaps who was lucky enough to bed the gorgeous Cole...only thing was she was supposed to be 16!...is that alright now? meh, who knows I say.
All in all a wonderful day with wonderful company.
The film ended beautifully with the single credit "A Film by Heath Ledger and Friends"

The End.
