Brick and Bank Holiday Monday

Today is May Bank Holiday and so far the weather actually looks like it could be nice during the day. Not sure what we will do today, but if the weather holds it will involve going somewhere for a walk. We'll see, it'd be nice to be close to the sea somewhere. But I'll write more about that later.
Yesterday Neil and I went to see "Brick" at the Picturehouse. It was a free members preview, and it was quite nice to see a film in the morning on a Sunday. Here is what the Picturehouse program said about it: "Imagine TWIN PEAKS with dialogue by Raymond Chandler and you're halfway to this hard-boiled, high school noir by outrageously talented newcomer Rian Johnson. An outsider by nature, Brendan (Gordon-Levitt, MYSTERIOUS SKIN) is forced to penetrate the elaborate ranks of the school social scene when the body of his ex-girlfriend is found lying lifeless in a remote creek. From the highest-ranking athlete to the lowest level burnout, no one is above suspicion. Assisted by egghead The Brain, Brendan's relentless quest leads him into a labyrinth of patsies and players and ultimately to the The Pin (Haas, LAST DAYS), a mysterious drug lord who lives with his mother. A Sundance prize-winner for 'originality and vision', BRICK heralds the arrival of a major new cinematic voice and is most certainly this year's DONNIE DARKO."
I haven't seen "Donnie Darko" and also am still not too sure what to think about this film. It was definitely different from most of what I have seen before, and very very strange. There were some scenes where they clearly said something in English but I just didn't understand what they were talking about. When we were leaving the cinema one of the people from the Picturehouse came up to us and asked us if we would recommend this film to others and what we thought of it, and all we could say is that it was very strange and that it really depends on who was asking. Anyway, we shall see what people think about it once it comes out on general release. One thing I can definitely say about it is that it made me feel a little homesick for California and being close to the Pacific.
After the film we went to get lunch at George's Meeting Hall which was nice as always, and after that Neil went off to a party and I went to do some foodshopping and then went to the hospital with Daisy to visit Andrea.
