Hee! He is, and it's so cute. I bet he was secretly tempted to tie Stephen to the mast some days, with enough rope so he could play but not enough to get in trouble. *g* Stephen's pretty frazzling to be around in general. "Ooh, what does this do? Oh my, what a fascinating, probably poisonous creature! Well, I've never tried this before, so why don't I now? That local person said the other thing was terribly, terribly dangerous, but it's just so interesting." And then there's his line of work (either or both of them), which doesn't help.
::dies:: Oh yes, that's him exactly! He'll brave anything for the sake of science. And then there's Jack, who's courage goes completely out the window when it comes to those animals. Like the bees in Post Captain.
Yay! Participatory viewing! ;) I kept squeaking with glee at stuff like that, and confusing (and amusing) my poor mom.
Hee! It's so nice that our families will put up with our glee. I have such a tendency to talk to the characters or berate them, and give a shout when something cool happens, so I'm a bad movie-goer.
Mmm, jam roly-poly. That sounds good. I was considering starting with a pudding or some sort of baked good. They seemed a little less daunting. It's such a fascinating book, though, even if I haven't used it yet.
I'm so tempted to try making the ship's biscuit for my kids, as I found a nifty book on ships I could use for reading group. Plus, putting the dough in a bag and running it over with the car sounds like fun *g*
I think you mentioned almost all of my favorite things in your review as well :)
Hee! Well you have such wonderful taste!
Birds of a feather, m'dear :)
Glad I did then. That would have been embarrassing. ;) Yeah, the vowels are different than Spanish, but that's not really something I know how to type (I have enough trouble with OE and that's easy). The tip-off is "obrigado," which means "thank you." Good thing he's polite.
You call OE easy. I'm not sure whether to envy or admire the heck out of you. "Obrigado". I like that word.
Hee! I ran to read it right after I posted, and I was so amused at how many of the same things we mentioned. It's that excellent taste again, no doubt. *g* But he really does look pretty, particularly compared to how horribly ill he'd been looking earlier, the poor dear.
Yes, great minds and all that :) Part of the appeal of that scene to me is also the music. The more I hear that Corelli Adagio, the more I love it. Such a wonderful backdrop for the surgery scenes and afterwards.
I'm so glad that you liked the music. I was really curious about your reaction, since you're a musician yourself. ITA that they were beautiful choices incorporated well. And the Boccherini duet was favorite scene too! It was a great note to end on and left me just giddy with delight. Which you may have guessed. Heh.
I had a hunch *g* I worry so about music for movies I love, so I'm really glad I liked this soundtrack as much as I do. Especially since there isn't much brass at all, and that's my strong suit. I'm not a terribly informed judge of strings, but what I heard impressed me.
