Well, Jane Austen did say she was writing a heroine who no-one but she would care for.

Also, OMG, the kittenz are loose!

Starting with business: Me please? ;)

Now.
I actually loved PotC: At World's End. I do think there were scenes that were just a trifle too long, but overall I was so impressed with the actors' performances and had such a good time that overall I did love it.
And hah, I think I agree with you on not wanting to see cyberwoman again. Or maybe I will, on the rewatch I've started, but not on its own, double-kiss fascinating as it is... ;)

And? I totally agree on both Anne and Emma. Marrianne - maybe I empathise too much with Elinor and love the younger sister through the older, but, heh. Doesn't mean I don't see the mistake in her ways ;)

Aaah. I will have to remember that and go see Tate Modern next time I get to London. First time around I totally skipped all kinds of galleries and museums... Must remedy that, no?

Oooo - you kept the toughest one until the end!

... oops?

I get the feeling that At Worlds End could have been a really good movie. I love Chow Yun Fat and think he's a much better actor than he generally gets credit for, but he was wasted in that movie. I just found it really messy. Also, my conviction that Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley aren't actually that good at acting was not changed by that film.

London is great for galleries and museums. I still have lots to visit but there are so many great ones to fit in. I also get museum fatigue so I have to pace myself - too much culture gives me a headache!!

I will conjure up some question for you - but now it's late and my brain isn't working so well!

Also, my conviction that Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley aren't actually that good at acting was not changed by that film.

... well... not particularly. no. BUT? there are worse actors too? >.>
(on the other hand, my conviction that Johnny Dep is a fabulous actor was not changed either. ;) )

I KNOW! I have to do that too, I feel like I'm overloading... Well it also makes sense, though, because it took people months and years to create those things, and perceiving them even just in passing... is still trying to take up a lot.

LOL quite all right, that works for me!!

Sorry that I didn't get to post your questions over the weekend, but here they are:

1. Which is your favourite season and why?
2. What do you do with the books you read (eg. return to the library, keep, sell, give away)?
3. Which piece of technology could you not do without?
4. What sort of music do you like and what one song would you recommend to me?
5. If the Doctor dropped by in the TARDIS (ten, obviously!)and said that you could go anywhere in time and space, where would you choose?

I haven't actually seen Cyberwoman - I don't know whether that is a good or a bad thing! I was at university at the time and didn't manage to snatch the TV that evening.

Agreed that POTC: At World's End was a mess. There were good moments, and it all looked great, but it got to the point that I was totally confused about who was double-crossing who at any particular moment and had actually ceased to care, anyway. I think Bloom and Knightley are adequate actors (though I don't personally like either; Bloom always sounds like he's deliberately trying to deepen his voice to me), but in their defense I will say that neither get to play particularly interesting characters in POTC films.
