Dropping mustard on United 839 - LAX to Sydney

Cracking loud are the knees boxing up in a flight over the Pacific. 14 hours later and the rehydration begins in earnest as the cold fresh air hits the face once again. Pocketing paper to watch the warping pressure of a backpack and air travel atmospheric controls, the eyes barely register enough to pick out many or any plots and characters flickering on the red and orange tinted monitors.

The Golden Compass

Polar bear jumps up and Nicole Kidman pulls a face to then fade into the obscurity of seeing how well a neck and spine in upright position handles sleeping without slouching. Not well.

Jumper

Fun fantasy element of being anywhere the mind has seen or can remember. Escapist in the travelogue sense and execution. Wonderful location shots across the world being able to teleport across continents without the drying effects of cabin air and other passengers. Groovy and inventive action sets where the fight sequences throw in a scatter shot of dislocating shoulders through wormholes. A dinner film. Also starring Billy Elliot.

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

Bathtub sees a little boy hide out what eventually turns out to be the creature of Loch Ness. Time or not, the implication is all family friendly and watching only the second half through a widening glaze is enough to grasp the gist. Sounds of which older than the years, creaking wood and blue hues swimming the mind toward a cobalt era.

Charlie Wilson's War

Peering through one eye along the midnight snack handout, a gritty scene of indeterminate determination and extreme close-up.

Dropping the mustard squirt that comes with the midnight snack roll is death with a taste of dry. Room is at a constant premium, forward movement butting heads with the seat in front in vain search of a little condiment. Slightly pretentious serving of a Turkey And Swiss Cheese Roll proudly declaring itself in title case. Uninspiring packet of Ruffles crisps clears the way for the Twix salvo. Not a good idea for chocolate at night and the itty bitty waits for the light of the next day.

27 Dresses

Katherine Heigl is a loser looking for love and a long white wedding dress. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Running around with her potential beau right in front of her very eyes, it's a guess what happens next when blacking out under shades. Hours later the scene runs again through the mind awash with a temporal void by the name of sleep.

whipped eggs and a snag
Omelette and fruit salad

Milk is not explicitly an option jumping around with orange, apple and tomato juice on the drinks cart. Morning is breakfast time and breakfast includes a boxy dose of liquid calcium for measure. The omelette is chives aplenty on the underside. Running enough colour to suggest an appearance of mould. A crisscross affair cracking at the eggs.
