150th film night/3rd Rollie Awards

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, this is the blog post you've been waiting for since April I am sure. #ROLLIE150
THE 3RD ANNUAL ROLLIE AWARDS!!!!!
Yes, I accept your applause. A fun night was had by both of us as we celebrated the last 50 films we have put under our belts, our 3rd era of film. After watching Halloween VII on Monday night, Tuesday morning we both went on a supermarket sweep and bought ingredients for a 3 course meal that was very hard to prepare (..). We both slaved over the stove for hours to create the perfect meal and of course showed up in our best frocks and we even decorated the front room with bottles of San Miguel with flowers in them, cute. The menu was as follows:


Starter - The Prawn Legacy
Main - Fargo Fajhitas
Dessert - Donnie Dessert
*Please wear formal attire.


As we sat on our rug inside (it was raining), it was our first awards meal picnic style, and we both agreed it was the best meal we had eaten at an awards ceremony. We listened to Haim and sipped fine wine (sip sap full fat coke) before we both agreed that our change of premises since film 136 hadn't affected our film nights, and that our new premises were beginning to have its qualities.

Onto the awards! We both fought long and hard over the winners and nominees (especially Hottest Guy and Film that should've won something that didn't) - so, to see the full list of nominees and winners, click here!

How exciting! After the awards we both gave emotional speeches - main points were that we were to be more selective with the next era of films as these had probably been our least favourite of the three eras so far and that we're having as much fun as ever. We then watched 'The Matrix', which was a last minute film as 'The Green Mile' was initally selected as our 150th film. We both enjoyed it however said we could've seen a better film as our 150th and thought previous milestone films: 'Psycho', 'Rosemary's Baby', 'The Shawshank Redemption', and 'Se7en' were better. As our 151st film we watched 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', a film we have been putting off watching for at least 75 films - we both loved it. It was funny and very sad too. As we cleared up the crips and washed up the dishes we both felt very sad - mainly because of the impact the film had on us, but also because our results day is looming and the night was over.

We will be in touch
