bopping right along.

I rented Gosford Park this weekend, and I highly recommend it. Altman is either genius or a complete disaster, but this movie was so tightly plotted and gorgeously acted. You kind of need cliff notes, though, to keep track of who everyone is. Or watch it over again, which is what I did. Everyone was superb, especially Maggy Smith, who I want to be when I grow up. *g*

Amongst the cast was one Clive Owen who will soon star in King Arthur, as Arthur. He was great! He's totally won me over. I thought he was amazing, handsome, and broody (not to mention british and repressed. heh), a combination guaranteed to make me all fluttery and swoony. *g* And now, I'm all excited about King Arthur, which is dangerous, 'cause what if it sucks? It's totally going to suck. meep

In other news, the lovely fabu pointed out the lj comm fanfic_hate in one of her recent posts. Looking at the user info, the purpose of the LJ is to have some sort of "safe" place to anonymously complain about fanfics one thinks either suck or are overrated. Both Highlander and PotC are soon up on its schedule.

Er, not sure how I feel about that. I'll admit I'm curious to see what stories are mentioned, but I find the whole concept, well, stupid. Not a big fan of anonymous complaining, I guess.
