the world forgetting, by the world forgot.

saw eternal sunshine of the spotless mind the other day. and it must have been the only time, apart from the 'truman show' that i was actually into jim carrey. he's underrated as a serious actor. someone said it was one of the best movies last year, and i kinda have to agree :) and that poem from alexander pope:

how happy is the blameless vestal's lot?
the world forgetting, by the world forgot.
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind,
each prayer accepted, each wish resigned.

exams have forced an unwilling break in my sudden revival in movie watching, but with 2/3 of the exams behind me, i resumed my quest with gods and monsters. it's been something i've wanted to watch for years, and oh, what a pleasure it is to see sir ian mckellen act...
