redfiona99Listening to Classic FM, they're taking a similar line to me on the Da Vinci Code, fun bit of nonsense, but they're loving Hans Zimmer's score. And I'm tempted to watch it just for that. Apparently, the producers were threatened with a 15 if they didn't get him to tone down the score. They capitulated and did so. So of course I want to hear the uncut soundtrack because I want to know what could be quite that freaky.
X-men III comes out on the day of my first exam so I'm waiting till the end of my exams to go see it. I'll text Emma and Danny to see if they want to come along with. ITV are of course scheduling X-men 1 against tonight's Dr. Who in a blatent and mean-spirited attempt to beat Dr. Who in the ratings. Does someone want to tell them that it won't work, because the side of right and good has Cybermen this week.
Other film related news - I may be nicer about the Order of the Phoenix film than it deserves as the director is from St. Helens. Yeah, I know, knock me over with a feather too.

Not sure if I like another mad scientist in a wheelchair, creating the big evil because one Davros is enough. I did like the 'It's alive' bit.
The only other companion that wandered off this much was Adric when told not to was Adric. We all know what happened to him.
I love the wee mad Doc! And his desperate attempts to get the Tardis to work. And as usual, Northerners making a lot of sense. Also 9 was right when he called him Ricky. Can I again declaim my love of Mickey? And his Nan. And that Pete Tyler is loveably hopeless in all universes. It's actually quite interesting how Rose seems to love him a lot more than she loves her mother, which, although Jackie is a cow, is, as I said, interesting.
Rose, stop being such a jealous cow. It's not pretty and its not clever.
I liked the way the President wasn't evil and corrupt.
Muchly liked how they didn't give away what happens next week. Yet.
As to the football, both FA Cups broke my heart, since West Ham and Gretna both lost. I was really hoping for upsets because, well, Teddy, Christian Dailly and Nigel Reo-Coker are hard not to cheer for, and because how fucking good would the story of Gretna winning have been.
If people can't tell from the style of writing I'm a bit sleep-deprived manic at the moment. I only went to bed at 2 in the morning and then I spent the night tossing and turning until Collapsing Dan woke me up at 7.15.
So I gave up trying to sleep and went fencing. County Team foil comp.
Was much fun. I now adore the Market Harborough team because, since they're mostly an epee club I've never met any of them before, and Loughborough Uni had a team turn up which was cool, because again lovely people, and it was an unexpected pleasure.
I had great fun, even if my team didn't win. Now trying to convince myself out of wanting to do county sabre next weekend because I should be revising. But there is a way round it. If I just do the individual not the team, I should be done by mid-day.
This is what temptation feels like.
