Jan. 2nd, 2004 12:37 amAm pretty tired right now, but I just know I won't be able to go to sleep. So I thought, hey it's a good occasion to post something.
Yeah, I know, as if I needed 'occasions' to post anything! lol
So, like I said in my previous entry, we went and saw Master and Commander.
The movie was nothing like I expected. Of course, if you ask me now, I wouldn't be able to tell you what exactly I expected, but I just know it wasn't what I saw.
Was I disappointed? Not at all.
It sure started rather - interestingly, shall we say. ( The Incident )
It went better after this.
Like I said, I wasn't disappointed at all. I actually really loved the movie. I thought it was compelling, interesting, and the rhythm sure rocked.
Now, another reason why I liked it so much is because, well, I just didn't know I was going to see a love story between a Captain and his surgeon mate! Talk about a nice surprise *g* I mean, TS might have met its match in the gay-subtext-turned-plain-text department. I'm not kidding! I just found another 'canon' pairing next to Jim/Blair : Aubrey/Maturin.
Oh and since I'm talking about revelations, I also found two old past lives of Jack and Daniel. Not kidding either. Aubrey!Jack and Stephen!Daniel. Really sweet.
The relationship/friendship between the two was just... well, wonderful.
The plot, the battle scenes, the scenes on the ship were just awesome, like the scenes on the Galapagos islands - and really, the characters were so excellent. Blakeney in particular was fantastic!
Now, I decided that I was going to read the series- maybe not the 20 books, but hey who knows *g* This will be my resolution for 2004 *nods*
Before leaving - why didn't anybody tell me BILLY BOYD played in that movie? I mean, someone isn't doing their job! Just picture the scene :
*Billy Boyd appears on screen*
Mouse: *blinks* *turns toward Babycakes*
Babycakes: *turns toward Mouse*
Mouse: Hey is it-
Babycakes: Did you see?
Mouse/Babycakes: Billy Boyd!
Mouse: Man!
So, uh, now that I mention it - we're sorta sorry for the people sitting around us!
I'll definitely wait for the DVD to be released *sigh*
