Tristan and Isolde

[larochka173]

So I just saw Tristan and Isolde. And despite the crappy ending and the historical inaccuracies it was one big romance novel and I loved it, even if all the people in my romance novel LJ community hated it and James Franco's hair made him look like my housemate Kartini's boyfriend Scott - who really doesn't look a thing like him at all

You mean... they actually ended up happily ever after?!!!! I miss the trashy romance novels I used to borrow from you - the Mallorys and the Montgomerys, especially. And then, Judith McNaught's idiot heroes, the one who I'd like to twhap upside the most being Clayton of Whitney, My Love (spanking - WTF?!) and my favorites being Jason of Once and Always and Nicholas, the second banana dude in the one with the heroine named Alexandra. I should get myself a copy of that. Something Wonderful. That's it. XP

My view of Tristan and Isolde has always been colored by T.H. White's opinion of them in The Once and Future King. Which is: Tristan's the biggest idiot there is. Hahahahaha. It didn't help that I nearly threw the book across the room and groaned, "Will this EVER end?" when I read it for real in the Mallory version of the King Arthur story.

But I might grab the DVD. And watch. If only because James Franco is a babe. Hee.
