I just watched the film "Malcolm X" with mum and decided that Denzel Washington is just too damn handsome. No human deserves to be that good-looking. He wasn't created by humans, he was created by God, and I'm an atheist!

Just watched the Richard Curtis film "About Time" on TV. You can tell it's a Richard Curtis film because there are only white people in it.
