Master and Commander blather

I meant to write this last night, but Adam Beach was on the TV and you know me and shiny things. Wee Coyote Waits review with no spoilers and almost no verbs- Adam Beach pretty, Wes Studi's voice cool, Sheila Tousey cooler, Graham Greene coolest, Keith Carradine old now and vaguely seedy (though less so than David), dialogue slightly awkward, underscore lovely and in need of a CD release, scenery even more lovely (but harder to put on a CD), plot jumpy and overly edited from the book. Which I haven't read, but I'm assuming that's the case, since Chee and Leaphorn are detectives, not psychics.

Right, Master and Commander. I was very amused that we had a commercial for Battlestar Galactica before the previews, complete with Lieutenant Archie Kennedy heading off to fly spaceships. Jamie Bamber looks good in the ad, though he's about the only thing that does. Poor fella. I'd say he should stick to costume dramas, but presumably he won't get killed off in BG, so I suppose the novelty of that, at least, might be worth it. Not that Archie's dead, 'cause he's not. Nope. Anyway, on to my new favorite thing! Huzzah! ( Lots of spoilers, not terribly coherent. Come wiz me to zee Casbah. Er, ocean. )

Other than that, here's a positive and fairly detailed review of the RotK score from Film Score Monthly (score spoilers, I guess). Five more days until that's released (yay!).

I'm slooowly catching up on comments (I owe castalianspring and alethialia about a hundred each, I think), and one of these years, I might actually succeed in that. Darn LJ moves so quickly.
