I KNEW IT. That story could not remain untold!

[oddishly]

YOU HAVE NEVER WATCHED SHAWSHANK BEFORE.

HOW ARE WE EVEN FRIENDS???????

I am so many kinds of horrified. Am so glad you have finally seen it, oh my god.

Tim Robbins has the weirdest forehead crease I ever saw.

I'm in the same amount of disbelief as Helen! Seriously, why!

But oh man, I love that film so much. Though, I can't say I've ever wanted fic for it. ;) Though, they totally did love each other, in some way or another. I think I'd like to read the book sometime but I'm just kind of worried about how much more sad than the movie it will make me.

OMG I AM SO DUMB. Why did I think that was Peter Andre's last name?!!

I don't think so, but I know it explores Andy's time in prison more and I don't know if I would be able to read about it.

Oh LOL.

I love that Red is called 'Red' because in the book the character is a red-haired Irishman.

IMAGINE MORGAN FREEMAN FROM TIPPERARY.

You know it would work...

[scoradh]

LOL HE DOES SAY IN THE FILM THAT HE'S IRISH.

I know several people in Tipp who look like Morgan Freeman! ... not.

[catsmeat]
