Last weekend, Chicago fangirls assembled at svmadelyn's for Sense and Sensibility, Hawaii Five-0 (JUNGLE STEVE), pizza, and cupcakes. Then we went to the Music Box to see The Room, and with Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero doing a Q&A beforehand, it felt like we were stuck in some strange fannish mirror universe. After watching that monstrous thing and having

I saw The Eagle on Thursday and I am still kind of blindsided by it. THIS NEEDS TO BE A FANDOM. As soon as possible.

I suspect the reason the Jane Eyre preview is there might just be because Jamie Bell(Esca) is in that, too, but I like your theory.

I NEED FIC, ERICA. I NEED IT NOW.

Jamie Bell(Esca) is in that, too

It could be that? I have no idea, but considering the other previews, it felt like I'd just seen a tampon commercial in the middle of a cheesy martial arts marathon on Spike and "Wait, how do they know I have lady parts, this is the network for men! ZOMG THE ADVERTISEMENT IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE."

I DO NOT HAVE THE PATIENCE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BECOME NEXT YEAR'S YULETIDE IT FANDOM! I NEED IT NOW!

There's a tonne of The Eagle fic. Try onelittlesleep for starters. :)

I'm not sure whether I'm dying of laughter or of fangirl jealousy!

Today the Chicago fan contingent traumatized many, many people. *g*

Oh, hey, he's playing St. John Rivers! Well, of course he is.

Wait wait wait, seriously? Creepy abusive-boyfriend evangelist St. John Rivers? How could Jane Eyre not squash him like a bug! He's supposed to be overwhelming and shit! Unless he dances her into a state of confusion, I am not seeing it.

I am tongue in cheek. Jamie Bell is young and too wee (although quite fit), and when I looked up the 2011 Jane Eyre cast in IMDb, I said to myself, "Of course he's playing a character I'd punch in the crotch, but won't because the character might enjoy it as mortification of the flesh."

"Did we lose [info]talitha78?" "She went home." "Oh, I thought we lost her when the Celts attacked us from behind." "If we lost her, how would we REGAIN OUR HONOR?" "By storming the BORDERS!"

LOL!!

We totes would have traversed Hadrian's Wall for you! Although I suspect it would have included more cupcakes and less manpain!

I'm going to see the Eagle tomorrow because I was at a hockey game during Pun's outing. I don't know much about it but I have been told that they made a movie for us, and if they did, I figure the least I can do, is see it.

[shrift]

We had an entire row of fangirls cackling and, like, rolling around in our chairs like puppies!

[bkwyrm]

I am very sorry I didn't make the movie, then! It sounds....well worth my time, at least.

I came home and sang the praises of the restaurant to my husband. Those crumpets were damn tasty, even if they did keep moving the coffee carafe away from me.
