Snoooow. *dances*

We finished Bamboozled, and, well -- the end affected me much the way That Scene in the SPN s3 pilot affected me. Nausea -- the kind of nausea Doc keeps saying is the best place to do work from, because you're mad.

In a more shallow vein: kinda want someone to app Manray. ¬_¬ Savion Glover is pretty.

And then the caffeine kicked in, and I ran a mile, and I'm still kinda twitchy.

So glad it's the weekend. Man. Even if the weekend is not going to be significantly less busy than the week. Four days 'til break!

ETA: OH.

I discovered a copy of House of Leaves downstairs on the communal bookshelves.

*cracks knuckles* As soon as I finish Name of the Rose. (Which apparently we'll be watching next semester in Foundations of Drama II! Good stuff. But -- Sean Connery as William? *doubtful look* Did they miss the bit where William looks exactly like Sherlock Holmes? 'Cause Connery, Lord love him, does not look like a Holmes to me.)

Yeah, I don't know what the filmmakers were thinking re: Connery. I keep trying to imagine who I would cast if I had the choice, and I can't settle on a person who'd do the character justice.

I have an Eco quotation scribbled down somewhere that if Rose had been set in ancient Greece the movie would have been about "Sean Connery in a toga."

I love that book. The film, not so much.

Somebody else who's seen Bamboozled!





I haven't actually watched it in years, because it's so painful to do so, but it's such an amazing piece of film.

I've read maybe a quarter of it? All in bookstores. And man, I remember getting to the footnote that says Don't look behind you or something like that and going ". . . I am not going to get freaked out by a freaking book.


. . . *peek over shoulder*"

Yeah, that was the moment that freaked me out too.

Once you've read it, want me to add you to my old HoL filter and point you at my running commentary?

having never read "Name of the Rose" I thoght Connery was just fine in that role
