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."

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

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.)
