On Friday September 18 2009 I saw the film "Shameless" (Nestyda). Out of Czech Republic and 88 minutes long this film proved that regardless of language, culture, or country all things in life are universal (For example, unhappy marriages are not only a North American thing).
Synopsis: Husband falls out of love with his wife after noticing just how big her nose is. Marriage breaks down and he begins a journey of self exploration (new women). His romances are hilarious.
I didn't anticipate liking the film as much as I did. Nor did I anticipate recommending it, but I do.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHyeuJg5BQ4As it was TIFF, naturally, our next stop after the screening was
One. (Side note: I must stress that I am not a fan of
One, I merely went to see if I could find a Jonas Brother).
One, for lack of a better word, sucked. Very old crowd (mid 30's to....well, 60's....). Very pretentious, dull, quiet group of people (who all looked identical to one another). Since it was so dull it was very easy to notice anyone slightly alternative (and I was being very mindful of my surroundings). I noticed a cool looking group of guys a couple inches from us and in front of them two giant men. The giant men were a sure sign that someone mildly important was inches away from me. It turned out to be The Kings of Leon. They were extremely quiet, sat low in their seats, and made no eye contact with anyone outside of their group.
For anyone wondering...Did I take a picture?
NO, it would not have been appropriate to be snapping photo's on a cam or cell phone because the venue is so small, when I say "giant men" I am being literal, and lastly, no one else was.
Was Caleb there with his model-girlfriend that we've all seen on justjared.com or perezhilton?
NO, however, 2 other females sat with the group.
Did I follow Caleb to the washroom when he went two times?
NO, the giant men escorted him....or else, yes, I would have. Obviously...
When K of L left
One, so did we and went somewhere far cooler... The Social.
BL...it was cool to see KoL but The Social was wayyyy cooler.
