Cinematic diversions and fizzy pop

Yesterday [livejournal.com profile] spam_robot77 and I went to the pictures to see Brokeback Mountain at the Holloway Odeon. We brought our own cans of pop as it is so expensive there but we bought some popcorn.

I enjoyed the film. Cut for mild spoilers )

The next day we enjoyed the delicacies I had bought at my local Waitrose :) These included gooseberry crumble and an exciting new Pepsi Max variety! It is called Cino and is coffee-flavoured! The spam robot said it was her second favourite of all the cola varieties.

Then we watched camp Austrian Helmut Berger playing the part of a camp German in Tinto Brass' SS romantic drama Salon Kitty. The film was quite diverting, if also rather cheesy at times. It is about some SS men who decide to create their own brothel, and make the prostitutes spy on their clients to discover military secrets. Helmut Berger gives an overblown and fairly ridiculous performance, parading around in a number of extravagant glam-nazi outfits and shouting a lot.

It snowed in London today! The weather is so unpredictable nowadays. I didn't go out.
