ealgyldenI have achieved my quest with honor, nay, with glory! Lo, at my peril I have sought throughout the shops and the markets and the malls of furthest Brockville, and I have claimed as my rightful due the shoes that shall exist forevermore in felicitous harmony with my Gown of Bridesmaidery. Huzzah!
You wouldn't think that finding something navy blue, dressy, comfortable, and with not too outrageous a heel would be difficult. But you'd be wrong. Everything is black, black, black. Navy's an autumn basic, stores, so what's the deal?
And I've begun catching up on Gerard Butler's oeuvre. Watched some bits of Lara Croft: Etc. again, in which he's a Kate Spade (pretty, not really necessary, holds stuff), and then Timeline, which was even cheesier than I'd expected (which took some doing, really). I've gotta say, though, that whoever came up with the idea to cast Billy Connelly and Paul Walker as father and son was a genius. Seriously, that was comedy gold. One wonders what Mom was like. And I was traumatised by the scene where Frances O'Connor slid down a thatched roof, yet somehow managed not to spend the rest of the movie painfully pulling splinters out of her hands. Whoever wrote that scene obviously didn't grow up on a farm. Gerard was definitely the best part of the movie, not that that was a stretch. But the most fun I've had so far in "Gerard 101"? Hands down, Attila. Whee! Well, I always liked Xena's Borias, the kinder, gentler warlord, so once I stopped thinking "Attila the Hun?" and started thinking "Borias!", all was goofily shiny in movieland again. And Gerard, dayum. I'll take two. I assume he'll be using the long-hair-and-stubble look in Beowulf, and I have not one little complaint about that. It would be nice if the script is... not like that, though. As much as I enjoy exchanges like, "He's quite striking... in a primitive sort of way. Look, his clothes are made of animal skins!" "Don't worry, he'll be out of them soon enough," I don't think that sort of thing would quite capture Beowulf's... flavor.
Uh oh, my flist isn't working. That's not good.
