"Well here's something for you to remember. I am not a character. I am a human-fucking-being."
~ Perry Smith (Daniel Craig), Infamous.
Some of the things said in that movie are just so powerful in words. I wish IMDB would post more than just what they have.

After having such a long day yesterday afternoon, most of which was spent catching up with Su-Yi (which was such great fun!), I got back home at about 11pm and was very much ready for bed. I felt the need to watch Infamous, however - so I switched off my laptop, had my shower, and settled myself down on the couch in the living room with my bottle of root beer.
Daniel plays Perry Smith, a convicted murderer.Murderer or not, I love him all the same.
It was absolutely amazing. It was just, out of this world! It's about Truman Capote and during the time when he was researching into his upcoming novel of the time (which turned out to be one of the greatest books ever written) In Cold Blood. I loved it. I mean, not just because Daniel Craig was in it, but because it was so well done. It really got me in tears this time, and the emotion within it was so strong. I was blown away. The performances by Toby Jones and of course, Daniel Craig were stunning. I mean, other than Daniel's black hair and black eyes, wow. And come on, Daniel sings and plays the guitar at the end. How wonderful, right?
Otherwise! Watch it! Just because it's "that other Capote movie" and it was after Phillip Seymour Hoffman got all those awards and rahrahrah, this movie doesn't deserve to be left in the middle of nowhere. It should be seen too. So if you ever get the chance, watch it.

I've spent all day capping Infamous and other times just eating pineapple and moping around the house. My neighbour on the 39th floor who lives above my bedroom has made all the noise he can make to piss the arse out of me today. I swear he was dragging bodies and chains on his floor. What else could he have been doing otherwise!
Hopefully I'll get to go out later this afternoon. Possibly to the night market. I need to get some stationary and when I think about it somemore, maybe some other stuff to bring back. Right, toothbrushes! That's a start.
Off to get a life.
Cheers.
PS. Still haven't done my History essay. It's due on Tuesday. Should I at least attempt it, or just let Ms Watkins punish me?
PPS. On a lighter note, I had a dream of Daniel Craig last night. He was in his black swim trunks. Oh yes, the ones in Casino Royale. I was right in front of him, but I was far too afraid to say hello. I'm a shy person, ok? Give me a break.
PPPS. I've already made a note to myself about the above. NOTE: pop Infamous in the DVD player, watch, cry a river or two and then sleep almost immediately. Sweet dreams! ;)
