I finally got around to watching the Stardust trailer, and I firmly believe that it will be amazing. Except for Claire Danes. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: maybe I'm biased because I happen to dislike her. But she is horribly, horribly miscast. It would be like casting a cheesemonkey as Jack. Except... oh wait... Jack is a cheesemonkey. Yes, a monkey made from cheese.
I'm mad at all things Lost, if you couldn't tell.
But back on Stardust, it looks wonderful. My one sadness: Claire Danes and Sienna Miller should switch parts. Then I'd say that this has the makings of being one of the best sword-and-sorcery flicks ever. Exept Highlander. Nothing's better than Highlander.
Speaking of sword-and-sorcery, or maybe just swords, or maybe just men in tights running around in the woods...
Oh. Sidebar. Did I spy Ricky Gervais trying to sell Michelle Pfeiffer a two-faced dog? 'Cause that would be awesome.
End of sidebar. Back to the men in tights, apparently the awesomely low-budget Robin Hood is not actually a mini-series - I was sadly misinformed. British seasons just happen to be 9 episodes shorter than American seasons, so we'll be getting Robin Hood: Season 2, sometime next spring. Which is pretty cool, just so long as Guy and the Sheriff have bigger parts. I mean, Robin and Marian are cool and all, but Guy and the Sheriff are the bestest. And so long as Will and Alan just admit their secret love for each other. Robin and Marian can do that too, but we all know how that ends (death, anyone? ...at least in the original story, as far as I remember). Poor Robin and Marian. They should have a movie named after them and be played by Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. Except... oh wait... heh. Yeah. Never mind.
As far as real life goes, New England has been balmy and warm. I'm off to NYC tomorrow to see a play about pirates, and then it's off to Guilford on Thursday to chill with the godfather. Then some quality Lady U style partying. In a box. Then back to sunny Cali. Sometime between 11pm on Sunday, when my flight gets in, and 8am on Monday, when my classes start, I need to find time to buy all my books.
That, too, should be a party in a box.
