Lastly, I wanted to talk about the insaneness that was Inception. This movie was just WOW. How do I explain it? It's frustrating...but in a good way. It is a never-ending labyrinth of mysteries and hypotheses, all tested and re-tested in your mind to try to figure out that darn ending! Oh the ending!!!!
Go see it and tell me what you think. This movie still haunts me a little, and I'll give it: ★★★½
Take off a half for the frustration of it all!! One star is definitely in there because it's Leo and Joseph Gordon Levitt in one movie. Oh yeah!!
Haha, I am SO proud of you, girl :D
ReplyDeleteBut for it to be a real Pimm's this is the recipe you should follow:
Pour a measure of Pimm's per person into a jug. Top up with lemonade. Chop up some slices of cucumber, halve some strawberries, cut some lemon and orange slices, and tear up a handful of mint. Mix them into the drink and give it a little mix. Consume.
It ain't Pimm's if there aren't strawberries, mint and cucumber! ;) Well done - ultimate summer drink!
