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."

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

Well, that's the Important Part.

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