Even after 35 hours, my total PC backup is still chugging along. I would estimate that the progress bar is at the 80% mark now so it should (hopefully) be all done by the time I wake up tomorrow, then we can continue with the diagnostics to the rest of my machine and hopefully get it up and running properly. In the meantime, I though it would be good to watch some more films, so I got through Sullivan's Travels which was decent, if awkwardly paced. It really pulled it out of the bag in the last two minutes though as it delivered a really heartwarming message that resonated well with me, shame it just took so damn long to get there.
Mon Oncle was the next one, and for the life of me I couldn't get into this one. Watching it was an exercise in endurance for me, I'd never seen a 'Hulot' film before, and I can probably live without seeing any other ones as the comedy was just boring and did absolutely nothing new. I'm sorry to say, but it all just felt like a poor man's Charlie Chaplin film and towards the end I was just begging for it to be over. While I kinda smirked at a few oh-so-french quirks in the first 15 minutes, it just kept going on and on and on. Maybe its because I'm not French?
