A fanfic rec and a small batch of picspam

[skaryma]

So first, the rec. The Servant's Master is a Yuletide fic about Thomas Beckett and Henry II that is fabulously evocative and well-written. Slash, but nothing more than PG-13. Go, go read. (I've discovered, apparently, that RPF only bothers me if the people involved are still alive. Go figure.)

Also, I saw There Will Be Blood today. I'm too

That frost is so pretty...! Especially on the colored glass.

[skaryma]

Thank you. ^_^

My icon demands to know why you don't have an inexplicably filty and naughty crush on him the same way tamburlaine does.

[skaryma]

Oh, I do, is the trouble.

Daniel Plainview = A+ (and a tiny, not so well-considered crush)
The score = A+ (I really could go on about the music about as long as about Daniel/the performance)

The rest of the film = B. Or thereabouts. Though honestly, I'll just watch him act for 2 and a half hours with that music behind him, and be happy as a clam.

[tamburlaine]

I agree about the score. I downloaded it and have been listening to it a lot. Rock!

And I do agree with you about the rest of the movie too. I gave it a B+ overall, because in the arena of modern films, you rarely see films like that and it gets credit for bringing "cinema" back, a la "Taxi Driver".

[skaryma]

Very much so! It also, I think, had touches of "Aguirre: Wrath of God," in places. (In a good way, as not everyone likes that movie.)

What lovely photographs! Clearly you are not only surrounded by beauty; you also have an eye for capturing it.

Yeah, I feel the same way about RPF.

[skaryma]

Thank you. ^_^

How strange is that. I mean, with these two, I would argue that I'm looking at them as characters in a play, but it's not true, because these are not Anouilh's Thomas and Henry.

[gileonnen]

I first got sucked in by the Lawrence of Arabia fandom--ironically, also by lovely fic which was far more based on the person than the characters. ^_~

[skaryma]

Oo, sounds intriguing.

My favorites are some of the pretty frost patterns and the picture with the amber colored earrings. Yay photography. ^_^
