OOOOOOOOOOOMG PLEASE go rent In the Name of the Rose. It is the most crackiest movie EVER. I mean, the book is weird, and it's all about monks dying horribly and heresy and stuff, but
the HATS that the cardinal-type people wear have TASSLES. All the "pope contingent" has fabulous clothes. So fabulous.
and there is a ultra explicit sex scene between Christian Slater (yes, CHRISTIAN SLATER is in this movie, omg) and some girl. His haircut is this great bowl cut thing. It's... amazing.
And, oh dear God, the fact that Sean Connery is William of Baskerville is great. And bizzare. The whole thing, bizzare. And I'm kind of upset that the watcher knows who the bad guys are waaaaaay before they did in the book. Although, the book was uber long, so that's actually okay.
It's just... wow. This movie is wacko. It's like some cracked out 13th century soap opera, where some of the monks are sleeping with each other (and I just can't get over the cardinal's robes. They have sequins and stuff on them. And look vaguely Hispanic in origin. W. T. F.)
I'm in the midst of writing a math lesson plan, so that I can then work on my "genre study" (thank you so much to Laura and Emily for giving me help! Yay). Also, my parents are coming home tomorrow night! Yaaaaaaaaaay!
