Okay. Golden Age. Done.

My facebook status currently reads "Somebody get Spenser in here and write the boy a check because omg Glorianagasm."

Which is true.

Except not.

You cannot have, in the same movie, Gloriana In Armor Under Cross of St George and wimpy little girl-queen. You can't, that is, unless there is... what's the word? Narrative? Or some

This post is MADE OF WIN.

Also, I had ONE expectation from this film and that was to hear Cate Blanchett talking about having the heart and stomach of a king and it DID NOT DELIVER. FAIL.

This is what I'm saying.

Myth. Straightforward. Inherently dramatic. Film it. Done. Un-nondeliverable.

And yet. And yet.

I KNOW RIGHT? Bah.

I will say that the execution of Mary Stuart was an exceptionally well-done scene. It helped that there was no dialogue.

I have yet to see this, but we have immediate WIN because of John Dee! Yay!

That's what I thought! And it's really funny how much he looks like that scary portrait and yet still gormless.

[liseuse]

I cannot wait to see this film now! Hee!

[kitmarlowe]

Oh but the silliness was glorious! As glorious as the Spaniards' eyeliner!

*creeps away hanging head*

Oh, dear, no, no!

I enjoyed every minute of it. Deeply.

The people in the theatre around me and my pal, on the other hand, would probably have been happy to be well rid of us. We were, um, a bit loud. And cackly.

Hee! That's what we were like too. I think we lost our shit collectively during the opening text crawl. (And Philip II caused us to have hysterics every time he was onscreen.)

Also, I have to say that "MY BITCHES WEAR MY COLLAR" is possibly the most awesome line ever uttered on film.

in which i love you

[gimblegyre]
