apocalypsos | (no subject)

And Jude Law? Is a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty man. Yowzer. I think I'm going to have the mental image of that man's bare ass as my default wallpaper in my head.

So, the movie. Eh, it was all right. I now totally understand why Nicole Kidman didn't get an Oscar nom, since "I come from a long line of chiefs" definitely trumps "I will marry you" repeated over and over again. Not to say she did a bad job ... she did a fine job, it's just that she ended up looking kind of useless. Hey, is it my fault I kind of hoped Inman would come home and chuck Ada for Ruby? I read this one review of the movie that said that Ada was Scarlett O'Hara without that spark that made Scarlett interesting, and that's exactly the way I felt watching her.

And Renee Zellweger can have the Oscar for that entrance alone. That bit with the chicken gave me the giggles. Hee!

The scenery was gorgeous, too, but all I kept thinking was, "Wow, Romania's really pretty, isn't it?" 'Cause those sure as hell didn't look like North Carolina mountains to me. From the immense jagged peaks they kept showing, I half-expected Inman to stumble over a plane wreck full of cannibalistic rugby players.
