Here's the new page of Clematis. FINALLY.
I'm in a very Clematis mood at the moment, so there may be more within a reasonable space of time (we'll see).
So, this weekend was good. Firstly, there was sun, and lots of it. YES. Also there was ice-cream. (Note to self: Do you want a heart-attack and type II diabetes? Stop going to the Häagen-Dazs cafe!)
Also there was:
a) SPAMALOT
Very enjoyable (even if we were sitting a bit high-up). Although there's only so much humour that can be got out of going to see something where you already know all the punchlines (maybe it's because I'm so used to seeing the Monty Python folks doing it that it doesn't seem right with different actors). There were some new bits though, don't get me wrong. Things I liked:
- The excalibur song
- Lancelot being G.A.Y.M.C.A.
b) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN III
I spent the first half of the film trying to remember what happened in the previous film (whoops). So, once again not quite as good as the first film (also much more trippy), but still plenty of swash and buckle, and that's all you really need isn't it. Important things:
- Tia Dalma isn't quite as cool as I originally thought (she's much better as a wise mysterious witch lady. Because mysterious witch lady screams Yuuko to me and Yuuko is just that cool. I think I read a fic once where Yuuko met Tia Dalma, or did I just make that up? But of course Yuuko knows Tia Dalma, of course she does).
- This film didn't have nearly enough OT3. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OT3?
- Johnny Depp has to play the Gentleman with the thistledown hair. Please someone, MAKE HIM DO THIS.
Hey, it’s not like I said it was good or anything!
But it’s not rubbish, and is actually quite entertaining. Not as entertaining as the first one, but still fun nonetheless.
