Go on wichyur bad teenage girl-self Nova!
Tonight I watched Belizaire the Cajun for the first time in many years. I just love it.
Yes, the production values are pretty much that of your summer camp home movies and there are far, far too many boom shots but, hey.
Armand Assante is the acme of charm. Will Paxton looks about 18. And I learned things about Acadian history I never knew.
Just love it.
On the other hand? The Mayor of Casterbridge. Dead, wicked, bloody boring. But I have an unwholesome crush on Ciaran Hinds brewing, so it was an indulgence. I shoulda known though...Thomas Hardy. Not know for laugh fests or happy endings. Rather, lots and lots of lies and manipulations.
I think I'll go dream of Belizaire.
I'm going to see The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement tommorrow night. Am also far more excited about it than a 23 year old has a right to be. That is all.
Lilty, I've been trying to convince people to not only go to the see it (where two takers have agreed -- Robin and Polgrara) but I've been trying to talk them into the special tea they have at the theater. It's a princess themed tea and includes Belle, Ariel, Snow White and the other one.
Ben Kingsley is going to play a vampire in a movie based on a video game.
This means that the world is ending, right?
the film chronicles the adventures of the title character, a half-vampire, half-human who has the super strength of a monster but the emotions of a person.
Angel, Blade, Spike -- who else do they need to do this to so we'll get involved in the bloodsucking story? Forever Knight, at least, was just a matter of will.
This means that the world is ending, right?
No, just Kingsley's good reputation.
ETA: Oh God! It's made by the same guy who made
House of the Dead.
The movie which actually cut to scenes from the source video game as transitions between shots.
If anyone in L.A. needs their lawn mowed, now might be a good time to call Ben's agent. (Assuming he still has one...)
Well, he made an Elizabethan romantic comedy with Mira Sorvino after that one, so there were still tatters.
From here on out it'll be all late-night infomercials and "Where are they now?" specials on A&E.

And of course GANDHI 2: Electric Boogaloo.
He did
Sexy Beast.
He'll be fine. Those British guys are weird.
Many venerable actors have done things throughout their careers that would seem to have blown up their world. Take Sean Connery, for instance. The guy did, Zardoz, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and The Avengers and he's still going stronger than ever.
