Spellbound? Not So Much
So last night's movie was Spellbound. pilgham picked it because MD started majoring in Psych this term and it's about shrinks.
It has a kind of measured beginning with lots of room for snarking like the gaggle of guys in white coats gossiping like high school girls and when Peck's character freaks out over fork trails in the table cloth it's pretty hilarious. Later, Peck and Bergman are in a clench in their nightwear, the scene cuts to following a corridor through five doors that open in succession in a highly symbolic way. Except that was not a metaphor for what I thought it was a metaphor for because when they cut back to the clench, Peck is freaking out about the stripes in Bergman's robe which I thought must be long gone.
Once they leave the sanitarium, it improves and I really liked Checkov's elderly eccentric shrink. Plus, it was good that Bergman wears the pants in the relationship with Peck and solves his problem and the murder. I liked that Bergman was actually as capable as she thought she was in her bossy I-know-what's-best-for-you way.
But anyways, I had been reading IY/Kagome all afternoon, angsty fics of the nature of "But you couldn't love a hanyou! Not like that!" so everytime Peck says, "But what if I forget myself and kill you?" I was hearing Inuyasha and when Bergman would respond, "You are not a killer!" I would hear Kagome.
