This is a Three Musketeers post. Oh yes it is.

I feel a bit silly talking about spoilers for something first published around mid-1800* and that have countless adaptions in various forms and genres, but there AREN'T any major spoilers about the plot in this entry. I do, however, still talk about the film and little details that amused and bemused me so proceed with caution.

*Not that this film ( Read more... )

This was actually the first Musketeers-film I ever saw, and I haven't read the book, and as a total noob I really enjoyed the film (despite the lack of ninjas), so it's good to know that it's pro-approved too:) We actually went and got a dvd with two of the Richard Lester adaptions, so I'm soon to be educated:P

I actually thought D'Artagnan was kind of cute at times, but then I felt like dirty old lady and stopped...

Orlando Bloom's Bad Guy-voice rocks:D

Speaking of tumblr I've been checking yours basically every day since you sent the link and I'm getting one as soon as I think of a good name for it. Which is all your fault.

Not even the one with Kiefer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen? *shakes head* My poor child, how I have neglected you...

I love that you bought the Lester versions (well, two of them)! :D It's The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers right? I have that one too (unless there are several dvds with both of them, you never know).

I thought he was kind of cute at times too... And don't worry, he's legal ;)

A link that YOU ASKED FOR, I might add. And I'm so talking the credit and not the blame for this, so there. You can change your url too, if you wind up not liking the one you chose. hm...should I change mine...

Actually, I'm not sure I want to see the one with Charlie Sheen...

Yep, that's the one. I've only seen The Three Musketeers so far, but I liked it:) I have to admit (noob-warning!) that I thought it'd be more about the musketeers, seeing as how it's called The Three Musketeers and everything, but it felt like this one centered even more on D'Artagnan than the new one. The musketeers kind of stood for the comic relief and D'Artagnan (jag vill alltid stava det som i Loranga, Mazarin och Dartanjang) for the actual story. Do the musketeers go with him to England in the book? Because they didn't in this one and that felt kind of lame:S

He might be legal, but he's still two years younger than my little brother...

If you hadn't had a tumblr I wouldn't have asked for the link, so it's still your fault. The least you can do is help me think of a name.

Nah, it's okay, that one is a Disney movie from 1993 so it's not Two and a half men and #winning.

No, they're supposed to but get injured. You know, if I was doing a three musketeers film but didn't want to stick to the books I would so make a prequel, focusing solely on the three musketeers :D

My brother is two years older than me but I'm still older than his girlfriend... That felt a bit weird in the beginning though tbh.

What kind of name do you want? A quote from something or...?

I'm really looking forward to Aramis in reading glasses. Does he also have a walking cane? :P Oh wait, no, that will be in "The Man in the Steampunk Mask" in which he has gout.

So the latest US commercials make it sound like Milady is a protagonist. Have they made her "good"? Please say "NAY." Ugh. B/c if they did, I almost hope she wins and kills everyone, like Alice in Resident Evil.

duskyblueskies October 12 2011, 17:39:43 UTC

I might have been spent a considerable amount of time looking for pics/screen-shot of that scene :P And...I must not tell spoilers :x

NAY, I wouldn't say that she's good no. They have made The Good Guys (The musketeers, the king) Good and The Bad Guys (Cardinal, Buckingham, Rochefort) Bad though which is a bit :/ but expected I guess.

eldiablito_sf October 12 2011, 19:28:14 UTC

At least they didn't make all the The Good Guys HOT and the Bad Guys UGLY like in "300" (which is still a film I love). Ah, if only the world was that simple and you could see the person's character on their ugly face!

BUT IS THERE SLASH? (You know, in your head, predominantly.)

duskyblueskies October 12 2011, 21:39:19 UTC

lol yeah, if only the world could be more like 300, it would all be simple then

Not as much as one would like unfortunately but I thought there was some definite vibes now and again AND the fact that they are living together is just... it's like my favourite thing about this version xD Well that and Aramis' reading glasses :P
