nnyJust been downstairs to the loo. *g*
There were mops leaning against the wall at worryingly regularly spaced intervals- I had the sneaking suspicion that a number of suspiciously well-choreographed caretakers were going to leap out and BEAT ME TO DEATH WITH THEM. Musical trauma.
I ran up the stairs on the way back with extra bounce because of the time I accidentally fell up them and buggered my knees for like, a *week* and looked like a nob.
Oh, oh and I saw the Crow for the first time! I've been here all night and it's taken until now to mention it.
I think it's probably easy to be dubious about the Crow. 'cos it has that whole cult thing, because Oooh, goth clothes, and Oooh, he died during the filming, and Oooh, yeahyeahwhatever. In truth, it is in my opinion a fantastic film. It's dark, and atmospheric, and the set is *amazing*, and there are bits you can tell were lifted whole from the comic. And say what you like about comics, they have a flair for the dramatic, chapter ending pose- when you add in the lighting and zooming out and such... Wow.
It's seriously quotable, and *has* been seriously quoted, and I never knew before but I suddenly have a new touchstone in my geek database. Whether or not I am mixing my metaphors is irrelevant. *g* A lot of things make a lot more sense, and that's always good.
I can only say that I'm glad I didn't view this at a younger and far more impressionable age, because I'm telling you now that my hair would be dyed black, my username would involve crows in some way, and I would have been all depressed when I got big boobs. (You ever notice how "goth" shops discriminate against ladies with boobs? Probably not. You're probably all skinny bastards and HATEHATEHATE!) I definitely need to see the film again.
The best bit about it was that it was a violent film, but like most comics it had an edge of dark humour to it. And I'm not talking the shitty James Bond "ooh I just shot you I'll quip now", a feature he shares with... ooh, every Arnie character- and who in the hell wants that? I'm talking actually funny moments.
All that said- I hated the kid. FUCK OFF AND DIE, SARAH!
But apart from that, good film.
Heh. Know what? I like wine. *g*
