EXCUSE ME! SPOILER ALERT!
Jeez. I was saving that book until the next century.

BTW - did she leave him in the end? As per the original?
The original original I mean, before Thursday Next.

Oops! sorry 'bout that, Sundae.

she does NOT leave him in the end and you (and I) wouldn't either, he's so damn hot and all. Seduces you with his command of the language, don't you know. And his physique. His dashing, manly, take-charge attitude and physique. Hmmmmmm. Yesssssss.

in the end they smooch and he says he's dreaming and she says, "Then awaken," aaaaaaaaaaaaand scene.

did you ever read Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea? It tells the backstory of Mrs. Crazy-Ass Rochester and how she got that way. Very good stuff.

Sundae · 08-06-2011, 12:40 PM

She did leave him according to Jasper's Fforde's The Eyre Affair. And that's not even a plot spoiler!
Did I never recommend that for you?

Yes, I did read the prequel.
I don't remember disliking it, but it didn't leave a real impression.

Rochester is a character who will age badly.
Darcy is just rude, rude translates.
Rochester is morally warped with strange ideals.

Why? Why must he age badly?

Morally warped with strange ideals describes a LOT of peoples soul mates!

Watched 'Saw 7' last night.

Well, I didn't expect that....

infinite monkey · 08-15-2011, 07:34 AM

127 Hours. Great movie. I recommend it.

Cyrus, Mind of a Serial Killer. Not as good as I'd hoped. More slashy than psychological, imho.

elSicomoro · 08-15-2011, 12:44 PM

The main shows I've been watching recently are Doctor Who, Soap and Torchwood.

Just watched Crank the other day...nice action flick.

Clodfobble · 08-15-2011, 08:19 PM

Mr. Clod wants me to watch Twin Peaks from the beginning (through Netflix streaming, naturally.) We'll see. David Lynch is a lot like Picasso for me: I can appreciate that he did revolutionary things like no one before him had ever done... but that still doesn't mean I like it.

Season 1 of Twin Peaks is about the most awesomest TV ever.

Season 2 was ... different. But still interesting.

The owls are not what they seem.

infinite monkey · 08-16-2011, 09:35 AM

I never caught Twin Peaks when it was on tv. I watched the entire series through mailed netflix. I loved it.

DanaC · 08-16-2011, 10:15 AM

I remember the first series just about hitting me like a freight train. It was a brilliant programme, but what made it totally amazing as well was the sense of zeitgeist about it. Everyone was talking about it. It had a pervasive atmosphere.

Second series was interesting but didn't quite live up to the promise of the first for me. But that first series was incredible. Completely atmospheric, with a self-aware humour threaded through it, but not disruptively so. Great performances all round.

I am not a big fan of Lynch. I appreciate his work, and have watched a few films, but for the most part i find them uncomfortable to watch. They're not the sort of thing I can 'disappear' into, I can only really appreciate them at an intellectual or visual level. But Twin Peaks was a ride. Grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go. But unlike the films, I did disappear into it. It was way more approachable for me as a viewer than a lot of his other work.

infinite monkey · 08-16-2011, 11:05 AM

Oh, I like the Lynch. Blue Velvet. Elephant Man. Mulholland Drive.

I like weird stuff.

BigV · 08-23-2011, 09:52 AM

Finished "In The Cut" last night. Some sexy sexin, sure, but I didn't care for the movie. It strongly reinforced my belief that I've already reached my lifetime exposure limit for NYC. And, as far as the story goes, I didn't think it was very well done. I won't bother with any spoilerifiic details. One star--pass.

Unconsciuos

The IMDB blurb is

Quote:

A Freudian comedy set in Barcelona, 1913, that playfully questions sexual taboos through a Sherlock Holmes-style investigation

Light hearted Mystery, Twist and turns , a little farce, period peice, I guess that sums it up. In spanish with subtitles, i liked it a lot.

Clodfobble · 08-23-2011, 12:49 PM

Just started the TV series "Better off Ted." Freaking hilarious so far, I'm sad to know that it's already been cancelled. I'm glad I get 2 seasons' worth, though.
