All The Things I've Seen

In the past 24 hours I have watched a ton of things. So much that I should be tapped for the rest of the week. Belle was over last night and we started watching Ring of the Nibelungs which was just poor. Funny, but poor. Robert Pattinson was good as the guy who stood in the background. We laughed out loud at it and I have to say that the effects were certainly worthy of note... No lizard could be that vicious and live.

After that we watched Stardust again as Belle had never seen it. I was excited to share Ben Barnes with her. I am trying to cultivate an obsession for him and it is only lukewarm and lending more toward admiration than fascination. But I did find a few pictures of him so I had to decorate this post in one.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl was next and I think the consensus was that Johnny Depp is a god.

Today, we watched The Bad Mother's Handbook. Another Robert Pattinson show. He was utterly adorable in this. I really liked his character and I hope that David will watch with me sometimes. I can honestly say that he was the best actor out of all of the cast.

Tonight after we took Belle home we watched Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I am trying to get all refreshed before the new movie comes out. I don't have much expectation for the new one. I totally think Harrison Ford is too old to pull of Indy and Shia LaBouf isn't going to be able to distract me from Ford taking his Geritol. But I plan to rewatch all the old ones and they were really good even though they were formulaic and cheesy.

I got set straight by Belle that A Great and Terrible Beauty is being made into a movie. So my dream is someone else's dream too. The script is supposedly been bought by Mel Gibson's production company and that worries me to death, but, okay. There is much talk about who should play who but I know some of the suggestions confound me. No Kiera Knightley. I have managed to read 100 pages into A Sweet Far Thing and I am distraught for the lack of Kartik. It makes the first part of the book worthless to have him absent. If he doesn't show up soon I might start on the last page and read backward.

Lastly is a little comic of the Twilight movie that made me smile. Today was Twilight Tuesday and MTV had an article talking about the plan to shoot the sequels together should the movie see enough of a turn out in the theaters. It pretty much said what has already been said and I was looking for more concrete things than what-could-bes and might-bes. The other thing was a little clip on Peter Facinelli and Carlisle's car. What happened to interviews? I want more of what I was getting during filming.
