Update and Fun Questions!

Question, Mark, Question Mark, Surprise, Astonishment

Hey Guys x

First of all, I need to apologise. I haven't posted since last Friday and I'm really sorry!

It's basically been a cross between not being motivated and being ill for the last few days. But I have been looking through the 'Guest Week' posts that I've received and they look awesome!

Anyway, I'm still not 100% well so I don't know if I'll post tomorrow, but for today, I thought I'd do a tag that I found online called 'The Fun Questions Tag!'

I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you want to do this tag, please feel free!

The Fun Questions Tag!

 When is your birthday? 12th December!

What are your three favourite colours? Silver, pink and blue

What are your three favourite quotes? 'Do something you love and you never have a work a day in your life', and I can't think of two more!

Are you addicted to YouTube? Who isn't addicted to YouTube? Not just youtubers, but everything! Viral videos, celebrity interviews and everything, I love it!

What are your three favourite TV shows? The other day, I chose some shows that I wanted to give a chance to, so I watched all of their pilots and literally fell in love! Those shows are 'Orange is the New Black', 'Gossip Girl' and 'Scandal'. If you watch any of those, let me know, but please don't give me spoilers! Few things anger me like having premature spoilers!

What three qualities do you like in a best friend? Honesty, vulnerability and kindness.

Do you like your name? Not particularly. Not my birth name anyway!

If you have the choice to pick your own name, what will it be? In terms of first name, I like Bria Lou, which isn't exactly the name that I was born with, so I think, if I could change it to anything, it would probably be that (not that it's very different from my actual name at all!)
My surname, however, I want to change more than anything else! I never put it on the internet, but I hate it! It doesn't feel like me whatsoever and, although I've always said I'll wait until I'm married and then take my husband's name, I've recently been toying with the idea of changing it sooner rather than later.

What is your fantasy dream? Right now I kind of want to marry Chris Evans or Ryan Reynolds! And be a bestselling author, but I'm hoping that's less 'fantasy' and more 'prolonged reality', but we'll see!

Do you wear make-up? Yes, sometimes. Not really that often though!

If you could write a book, what would the title be and what would it be about? I have so many ideas, so I'm not answering this question because I don't want them getting stolen!

What makes you cry? A lot makes me cry, I cry so much! TV characters dying, movie characters dying, happy endings. Recently, weirdly, I've found myself being emotional during closing credits for films. It doesn't matter what the film was about, the fact that it's ending just makes me emotional. I definitely have issues!

What makes you angry? Not being able to trust people, being treated like shit, general ignorance, that kind of thing. I've found that my anger always stems from the actions of others!

What makes you happy? Recently, doing nothing makes me happy! When I have the day free to watch celebrity interviews and youtube videos and new movies and new episodes of TV shows. In fact, a lot of the time, I have to force myself to leave the house!

What is fangirling? Fangirling is an art, in which you dedicate your life to your chosen person and support them in any way possible!

What are your three favourite snacks? I can't think of three, but I've had a thing for ice lollies lately, I eat one every night. I just love how refreshing it is!

What are your three favourite foods? Steak as number one, definitely! Pasta with anything, and pizza - whether take-out of frozen, I don't really mind!

What are your three favourite drinks? Fanta fruit twist, cloudy lemonade and tropical juice.

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? This is the worst question because, when people ask me this, I never know what to say! Like, what do you want to know? I'm a 19 year old university student who wants to become an author. I'm a procrastinator, a reader, an introvert, and obviously, a blogger!

I just realised that I've done this tag before, and I don't know what to do. It was only three months into blogging so I might just leave it and look at the differences between then and now!

Thank you for reading!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

A Clockwork Orange | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a highly anticipated first-time watch. The first time I heard of this film was back in school during an English class - we had to pick classic films to write essays on and one of my classmates picked this one. I didn't completely know what it was about, but since then it has always been in the back of my mind to watch eventually. And it didn't surprise me at all that it was on this list. When I was trying to find somewhere to watch it, I did some accidental research about it. I had no idea it was so controversial, and seeing that made me want to watch it even more. But ultimately, I ended up having quite negative feelings on the movie as a whole. For one, I'm not someone who shies away from violent movies, even when the violence is graphic. But there was something about the violence in this movie that kind of put me off. It wasn't really about the violence itself, or the way it was done, but more about the character. It's hard to foll

The Great Dictator | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a film that I hadn't heard of. I'm familiar with Charlie Chaplin, but moreso for his silent films than for anything else, so I didn't really have any idea what this film would be about. And once I did look up the premise, it wasn't one that I was particularly excited to see. I knew that it probably wouldn't be one of my favourites, so it wasn't a surprise that I didn't love it. For a start, as a fan of some of Chaplin's other movies, this movie felt very different, which caught me a bit off guard I appreciated the satire, but it might just be that it isn't as funny for a modern audience, or maybe that it's just not my kind of humour, but a lot of it didn't work for me. It also felt way longer than it needed to be. The runtime itself wasn't a problem as it's just over 2 hours, but a lot of the scenes felt like they could have been shorter. The themes of the film were very ambitious for when it was made.

Seven Samurai | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the bucket list was another movie I'd never heard of. The premise was an interesting one, but a 2.5 hour samurai movie wasn't something that I was itching to see.  Nevertheless once I started watching it I became really engrossed in the story and characters. For a start, the acting was great. Nothing about the film felt inauthentic, the characters felt like real people and when you're watching it, you're instantly rooting for them. This is also down to the writing and direction. Every aspect of the way the film is made has been done really well. While the film wasn't one of my favourites, there's no doubt about the way it has shaped cinema. It's regarded as one of the most 'remade, reworked, referenced' films in cinema, and the basic premise shows how true that is. I feel like I've seen a good few films based loosely on this premise and it always works because it's a classic underdog story. If you've never heard of this movi

Brokeback Mountain | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up was one of my most highly anticipated re-watches. I probably watch this film once a year - I love it too much not to watch it, but it's sad enough that I don't need to watch it more than that. I don't remember the first time I saw the film, but I remember the effect it has always had on me. The movie is so powerful, it has so much to say, with messages that could still be applied to the world today. I can't praise either the filmmaking or the performances highly enough. You can tell that the film was made with passion and respect, that everyone involved put everything they had into telling this story in the right way. And that includes the actors. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were phenomenal in these roles, their chemistry was amazing and I can't imagine anyone else playing these iconic characters. This film is also one of those rare cases where a movie is better than the book it's based on. The movie is based on a short story, and the story is a g

Her | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch that I was really looking forward to seeing again. I first saw it around the time Joker came out and I remember really liking it, so it was one that I saved until later in the bucket list so I could have something to look forward to. But weirdly, my experience of it was completely different on this re-watch. The things about the main character that I found endearing originally put me off this time around. I didn't really like the character at all and I couldn't connect with him. I also didn't find it as profound as I remember finding it the first time. The love story didn't feel as innocent or endearing and I never felt truly invested. I don't know if it's because of how AI-heavy the world is right now, but it just felt really weird. I do like the concept, but I think the characters are where it fell down a bit for me. And that's not to say I hated the film this time. I still think it's a good film that's well-made, it just wa
