Movies and more movies...

Aug 07, 2007 09:37

I woke up at 6 AM this morning just to watch The Great Gatsby. I don’t know why I’m so fascinated by that story. It is one of the few American novels I actually enjoy. I must pick up a copy of the book if I can find it in a used book store. I haven’t read it since I was a teenager. I couldn’t help but think while watching the film how much Robert ( Read more... )

The cheapest I've seen Rome II was in a Best Buy ad for ~$50...though that's still pretty expensive. Their edition comes with a "Rome"-ified cork stopper (while supplies last! *rolls eyes*).

I've kind of been avoiding the 300 movie as well, so don't feel so bad. It doesn't help that everyone I know who has seen it has a different opinion of it. I suppose if I see it before you, I'll let you know how good/bad it was.

Thanks for the Best Buy info - I never check them out for DVDs but that is an excellent idea. I'll probably wait to pick up the Rome DVDs in October when I have a bit more spending money. As for 300, I hope to watch it within the next two weeks as there is virtually nothing else of interest on tv these days. I was actually reduced to watching Big Brother last night. *groans* It was beyond painful.

No problem. Since I work at a Walmart, I have to be aware of the prices between stores. Seems it has its personal advantages occassionally.

Heh, I don't care for Big Brother either, so I can imagine it was a painful experience. With House and Supernatural between seasons, I also haven't seen much of interest on TV. However, there is a recent show called Burn Notice that looks fun, but I keep forgeting to watch every week.

Current release movies I have yet to see: Becoming Jane, The Bourne Ultimatum. *pouts* I blame niviene’s Spanish exam for the lack of cinema time.

Hey the exam is over now so " nosotros vamos al cine!" YA and I'm really intrigued by that Last Legion movie it looks so good!!

OMG...The Last Legion. *fangirl squee* With Colin Firth, Rupert Friend (aka Mr. Wickham, aka the hot gu, from Pride & Prejudice), Aishwarya Rai, Keven 'Lucius Vorenus' McKidd, John Hannah and Thomas Sangster (aka adorable little guy from Love Actually)!!!! First Max as Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, and now Thomas as Romulus Augustus, the last Roman Emperor. They are both just so squishy cute!! Almost makes me wish I had a son not really.
