Hold on to that nut!

Coupable....French for 'guilty'..... Finally got to see something at Berlinale.....yesterday was the last day..It's the second year in a row for me at Berlinale that something similar happens...I plan for a bunch of movies.....Never get tickets for any of them....then just take whatever I get on the last day ( some people call me lazy)....Last year, me and a couple of friends saw a Korean movie based off a webomic ( now try decode that)....Dasepo Naughty Girls....no it's not a porn movie....I did not know how to react to it( I have that problem with movies screened at film festivals).....it was funny, crazy and sometimes just downright dumb....kinda ok I guess...

But this year it was a bit different...Coupable was a watchable movie....It started off with some weird stuff about 'People completing each other', ' love makes you complete' and stuff. Duh, Jerry Maguire, not again!!! And the voice over was similar to some Indian romantic tear jerkers...Man, was I in for a repeat....Especially we turned up right before the show and it was a free for all without seat numbers....Well you know my luck, I show up (right) on time, first row seats were all we had..rats....

Then we had a murder and the movie was quite cool after that point...( I dont mean in a macabre sense...the events that unfold, etc were interesting...go read the review or watch the movie).......there's a couple of suspects, a lawyer, his wife and a cop. Now who among them is 'Guilty' ( not necessarily of the murder) is what the movie is all about ( got you there, dint I)... Kinda neat....I realized that I can still decipher a bit of French when spoken slowly......cool...One part I did not understand was that lot of reviews( on the Internet) list it as a comedy...aside from evoking a few giggles from people once in a while ( 6 times, I counted) it wasn't too.... guess I'm just spoilt from too much uncouth slapstick comedy....

Came back with a feeling of success...yeah Berlinale ...one more...like a trophy....and a headache...all that first seat viewing.....phew. My rental agency in Duisburg had sent my apartment contract...Slightly expensive, may be I paid much more than I should have...or just looked for a cheaper place....I may have shacked up with a friend for a few days to search for another place......do I wanna disturb him.....I still havent seen the apartment in person......It doesnt have a washing machine too....darn....But hold on... it's in a nice green locality , 3 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof (and thereon to Düsseldorf, Köln and the rest of the world)and its just a few months...I guess it's better....scratty, quick...hold on to that nut....
