Flightplan & BPAL
Last night's Sean Bean movie was Flightplan. This movie made me sad, because it was so meticulously and thoughtfully made. The director's commentary is absolutely fascinating--everything in this movie was done carefully and for a reason.
And yet no matter how well-made it is, you can't get around the fact that the premise is stupid and the movie is boring. It's basically Jodie Foster running around on a plane for an hour and a half, screaming "Where's my daughter?!" and it gets old fast.
On the plus side, I quite enjoyed Sean Bean as the captain. He actually gets to show more than one dimension--he's concerned and sympathetic toward Jodie Foster, but angry and tough when it comes to protecting his passengers. He's also a bit of a red herring, so he gets to play his part ambiguously--is he angry because he wants to keep the crazy woman from crashing his plane, or is he angry because he's really the bad guy?
They mentioned in the "making of" feature that he's so often typecast as a villain, yet he's actually very sweet, so they wanted to show that side of him in the movie. Awww.
Plus, he got to be multidimensional and conflicted and sympathetic and angry and in uniform, and it all added up to him being quite hot. If only he'd been in the movie more.
I got a bunch of BPAL scents in the mail yesterday. Today I'm wearing Pumpkin Queen, which smells delicious and is making me hungry. It starts out really sweet and buttery, then dries to a light kind of ginger-pumpkin mix.
I realized I forgot to comment on the scents harmonyfb sent me:
Jezebel wasn't what I expected--I thought it would be a little stronger or more interesting. It starts out kind of fruity, then dries to a warm baby-powder type smell. Meh. It might be cozy for a day huddling at home while it's cold outside, but I expected something better from a scent called Jezebel.
Eos I really, really like. It's light and floral, but not too sweet, and the jasmine (which I love) is strong. It also lasts a while, which is nice, and unlike the other jasmine scents, I had no allergic reaction to it. I'll be wearing this often.
