Mont des Cats
I was very excited to try this one, as it looks elegant, smells sophisticatedly enjoyable and just has that air of traditionally brewed abbey trappist beer. Technically, it can't be called a trappist, since it's not brewed in the abbey of Mont des Cats; Chimay takes care of that part for them. Could I just attribute it to Chimay then after all?
Anyway, it's a fiiiine, fine drink. Sweetly sour, brightly dark, softly sharp, but incredibly wet. The amount of layers I found inside were amazing. It got more attention than the movie I'd chosen to get into after all. Complimented by some basic snacks, I couldn't be more happy with having tried this beer. Instantly, it's up there with my very favorite beers so far (Rochefort, St. Feuillien and Ename coming to mind as equally epic beers).
Then getting to the side dish ;)
The Spectacular Now (2013)
Had not realised until after the movie; it's directed by the same guy who did 500 days of summer. Which makes sense; it feels very much the same.
I guess it is a great movie for high schoolers or adolescents facing similar 'growing up'-issues. The movie tackles issues with class and doesn't offer any easy answers.
However, the character in the lead is just a prick abusing everybody around him, making it extremely difficult to feel for him. After his final realisation (that is he a dick) he still makes a strange choice. The open ending makes the final scene acceptable, but I feel that he has not changed one bit after having been through his self-realisation.
All in all, it's a pretty decent movie. Acting counts in this movie, and the new girlfriend carries her acting very well.
7/10 in total.
