movie-related babbling

[newmoonstar]

I have absolutely nothing useful to write about at the moment, so I may as well babble about things that aren't useful. ;-D

First off, I finally saw "The Importance of Being Earnest", and nearly died from the niftyness. Colin Firth and Rupert Everett were beyond adorable. I was positively ROTFL.

Second, I watched "Ever After" again this weekend, and got some good inspiration for my costume for the Renaissance Faire this September. I also realized how much I truly love that movie, and that I now feel the urge to write novels with strong, smart heroines set in the Renaissance and based on fairy tales.

Which would be a lot of fun, actually, but I have yet to finish writing 'the French story'. I swear that accursed thing will be the death of me. Unless I were to actually sit myself down and...WORK ON IT instead of watching a delightful but distracting array of period films! *GASP* What a novel idea! I shall have to look into it further... ;-D

As you know, TIoBE is my one-true-love.

I also adore Ever After. It's a very underrated film.

BLAST YOU, WOMAN! YOU ARE FOREVER TEASING ME WITH HINTS OF "THE FRENCH STORY". Which shall forever be known as that, you know.

"Ever After" is indeed underrated. Any retelling of Cinderella that puts Leonardo da Vinci in the fairy-godmother role is well worth checking out! :-D

(Not to mention the hilarity that ensues when Danielle carries Prince Henry away from the gypsies... that is beyond priceless...)
