Tonight turned out to be chick flick night. My original plan was to come home from work and watch "Star Trek," because Sam lent it to me a couple of weeks ago and I haven't had time. Well, when I got home and checked the tv listings, I saw that "The Holiday" was going to be on TBS. Now, Spock is awesome, but sorry my Vulcan friend romance won the

'Exiles' :) 'Only the phoenix rises and does not descend. Everything changes and nothing is truly lost.' But that bit in 'Tempest' about how anytime anything happened, a part of the mind was taking it apart to use? Hoo, yeah.

I've never seen 'The Holiday', but I'm all up in that '300' thing. Waiting with interest for 'Robin Hood', Scott-style.

I really hope Gaiman gets to do Gilgamesh. With the new Cameron toys, Tiamat will be awesome.

Oh my, "Exiles" was lovely! The Shakes stories were some of my absolute favorites! I like how he pulled in Ben Jonson too. Very nice touch.

I can't WAIT for "Robin Hood!" I was not a huge fan of gladiator (Crowe's just not my favorite actor, that's all), but this movie looks awesome. :)

Gaiman and Gilgamesh would blow my mind!

'Sunday Mourning' was what first introduced me to Ren Faires :)

(Somewhere I have a ficlet wherein it is discovered that Hamnet Shakespeare did not die at age 11. Rather, he went off to school...)

Yeah, I can take or leave Crowe, but he does do the odd good part. And Cate Blanchett always kicks ass.

NG has been wanting to do Gilgamesh for years - he ended up doing Beowulf 'cos they still couldn't get the studios behind the idea of demented heroic epic with monsters. But now we seem to be having a resurgence of pointy violence and winged things, there's hope. I mean, it's basically the Ur-Hero Myth.

I've been a big fan of that resurgence. :)

I feel like epics are making a HUGE comeback too, which really pleases me!
