New Three Musketeers Trailer. I am completely distracted from complaining by the sights from my pretty hometown and assorted other Franconian locations. ZOMG swordfights in the Bamberger Alte Hofhaltung! The Würzburger Residenz doubling for the Louvre! I tell you, Franconian France is the prettiest AU France ever.
Also Dumas seems to have changed places with Jules Verne because there is an airship lurking and other steampunk stuff, but I am in a "who cares?" mode today because soon Bamberg's cinematic fame as 17th century France shall be assured. (And
shezan will still be the only French person recognizing France due to getting the tour de Bamberg from me.) You know, I am on board with Milady having fighting skills, too, despite my complaint a few days back about female characters only being recognized as strong when they get sword fights. Never mind me contradicting myself, Milady swordfighting is a nifty prospect. Is it too much to hope she gets to have a go at Athos and D'Artagnan before the plot (such as it still exists) catches up with her?
Unconnected, but still on a theme of pleasing visuals: you wouldn't think that after 40 years there are still new Beatles photographs making the rounds, but you'd be wrong. Here's one from the 1966 tour (their last one), Paul and John doing their mirror position composing thing in some hotel room, with Brian Epstein in the background:
And not new, but always funny to look at, John's sketch of all four Beatles a few years later:
(If you have to ask which one is which you are new to this journal. *g*)
