this entry is absurd, and also knows what tapestries are for

Things that happen when filia_belialis and I watch The Lion in Winter at midnight:



I'm sorry, I'm so sorry?

I don't think I've properly watched The Lion in Winter since the end of high school or thereabouts, so it was fun! I can still quote most of the tapestry scene, though. And Amelia was interested in Henry's family politics, so I got to get my Plantagenet lecture on. And, while validation isn't really required because it's self-evident, it was great to hear Amelia boggle at how hot young Timothy Dalton is.

Best quote of the night, though, was also hers, re: the tapestry scene: "Worst. coming out to your family. ever."

re: the tapestry scene: "Worst. coming out to your family. ever."

LOLOL I love when he jumps out of Philip's bed and basically goes IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

And maaaaaan when I first watched that Dr Who ep it was like the weirdest wigging out moment ever. "O_O WHAT IS THAT VOICE. I KNOW THAT VOICE." It was disconcerting until I figured it out.

I KNOW, RIGHT.

I about died when I heard that Timothy Dalton was going to be on Doctor Who. Because he is Philip to me.

...IN CASE IT WASN'T CLEAR I LOVE YOU.

hahaha, that sounds awesome! I miss watching movies with you guys. Also, I think I need to see that, as I have not yet been introduced to the hotness of young Timothy Dalton (I trust Amelia's judgment, though)!

You need to see this movie! All the characters are like a family of machinating Time Lords, and Amelia kept coming up with absurd theories about how Koschei's childhood clearly was. :D

[jolly_utter]

That's fantastic! I really want to watch it now! I'll put it on the list (Amelia and I were making a list of things we want to watch over summer, and of course many of them were historical, prompting me to get all excited and start planning thematic groupings! In chronological order! I am a HUGE dork.)

AAAAAAAAAH. ♥ Dude, I haven't seen that movie since I was way too young and freaked out by the gay. I need to rewatch it.

YOU NEED TO REWATCH IT. It is a talky play that has been screenified with Katharine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole and Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton, and everyone is SO AWFUL and they all have ~FEELINGS~. I am pretty sure you would like it now.

[filia_belialis]

Never be sorry! Also, thank you tons for getting me to watch this! It's better than I even expected!

[aria]

I am not sorry for real. :D? Also I want to watch the tapestry scene again! Assuming you haven't finished watching it by yourself, we should back up to there and then go on again. (Especially because I think there's not much Philip in the last hour and that is a TRAGEDY.)

It amuses me that given what I've been shown of this film, in my mind it consists entirely of the tapestry scene.

[aria]

Well, that's the Important Part.

On the other hand, you are missing out on Eleanor, who is the BAMF-iest BAMF ever.

I LOVE THAT MOVIE SO MUCH BRB REWATCHING FOREVER
