freckles_and_doubtHee. The Dark is Rising film is out. Pajiba reviews it. Apparently it's "a stupid, hollow adventure romp that shares only the name of Cooper’s books and was made by a cast and crew who didn’t give two shits about their source material."
*does small dance of vindication*
*stops, because legs are sore from my virtuous Sunday morning gym session*
I shall now toddle off to put in a solid several hours of marking (Edward Lear) before dashing off to see Casablanca, a film I am ashamed to admit I have never seen. Busy Sunday.
Last Night I Dreamed: I was back at school, only it was a utopian blend of my actual high school with a sort of Hogwarts vibe - beautiful old stone buildings, lawns shaded with enormous oaks under which everyone sat to learn for exams, and a wild seafront with a stretch of beach. I was in my last few days of school, and the thought of leaving was a poignant regret throughout the dream. At one point I think I was planning to return as a teacher. At another I transformed myself into a bird, I suspect a swallow, and flew low over the waves. Then the bastards married me off to the son of the tribal chief, and I was left in the ceremonial tent awaiting the wedding night with a sort of irritated trepidation. He was an awful dweeb.

Date: Sunday, 7 October 2007 09:29 pm (UTC)I can't beleive it.
I am out in the penal colony and saw it nearly three weeks ago.
I am thinking of seeing it again, it made me happy :-)
