(no subject)

Went to see Prince Caspian last night and found it hugely enjoyable. Tho possibly NOT for the reasons the film makers intended. There was much sniggering in at Inappropriate Moments (partly due to reading [livejournal.com profile] mistful's parody before going, partly just due to the SlashySlashy nature of the film).
Also, my memory of the book is vague, but I'm pretty sure Caspian WASN'T Inigo Montoya in it. Must read it again.
I also don't remember Caspian being quite so strapping and hot and Grown Up either, but I'm not complaining about that part ;p


Then I came home and Everything Went Wrong. Plan HAD been to do invoices for work, then watch the undoubtedly incredible awfulness of BONEKICKERS - crime fighting archaeologists!
But I was THWARTED on both counts - firstly by having left all the invoice stuff in work and secondly by the cable box going on the blink leaving me with NO TV AT ALL.
So after about an hour fiddling about with cables, tv setting and getting nowhere, I threw a tantrum (and the remotes :p), gave up and watched Firefly instead. Yay for dvds! Time to order digital tv I think tho.

I think that someone decided to order a whole batch of Latin-descended actors to play the Telmarines, and sone of them had an infectious accent.
Ben Barnes, who was rather manlier than (the teenaged) Prince Caspian should have been, was also the younger Dustan Thorn from "Stardust", and is in no way, shape or form Inigo Montoya. Even if That Scene was crying out for it!

He *sounded* very like him tho! And not just in that scene

Tho no, didn't look like him at all ;)

and aha! That's why he looked vaguely familar, watched Stardust again at the weekend

Given how young he is, it's quite likely that he has older siblings who are made on the film, and decided to have a laugh...

Oh! I forgot to agree with you on the slashy nature of it! Yes, there were a number of moments that in fanfic of even reasonable quality, would have been resolved in a decidedly non-PG manner. O NOES.

It's strange that Firefly makes everything all right.

I kind of get the same thing, Firefly when I'm down or upset. West Wing for when I'm feeling sick. Due South for when I'm feeling homoerotic...

Something about firefly makes everything better. Possibly because they're all so pretty ;)

And yes. Due South... have you met [livejournal.com profile] _unhurt_?

HORRORS indeed. I may watch Dr Who tonight to pass the time!

What I want to know is why my brain insists on reading the name of that tv-show as "boneknickers"? :(

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
'boneknickers' sounds like a much better show! Possibly starring [livejournal.com profile] thesme_01

Have new hair, though not dried due to rush to bring cats to vet due to bad scheduling my himself. Might go for lunch then to see the filum myself!

Yay new hair! The film is fun, I must get round to watching the first one at some point.

Bonekickers? What? That's just begging to be not taken seriously. Esp. since even as an American I'm still reading it as "Boneknickers".
