Had a very very boring day so noy much to say.
I'm currently MSNing w/ Nutty, and Rage is one waaaay in the background. I've got the TV up loud but I can barely hear it down this end of the house. I got up at 10ish to say goodbye to Lea and bring in the papers, then went back to bed, was woken up by the phone twice (my uncle Ian and then Ash--big shoutouts, sorry bout your car and hope your leg gets better.) Stayed in bed until 1. Watched the end of The Third Man a few times for my assignment. Called Tom, stayed on the phone for about an hour, midnighted, watched Smallville. Smallville wasn't very Clex-centric tonight, Pete got kinda grating eventually. It did seem like a coming-out scene when Clark told Pete what he was though. "I'm still the same kid I've always been," lol. Lionel really is kinda cool, I should hate him but he's so damn *good* at being evil. Then I watched Knight's Tale with commentary. It was a very odd commentary. Basically Brian Helgeland and Paul Bettany made lots of fun of the movie, only occasionally talking about how great everyone is (which dominated the Legally Blonde commentary.) It was pretty entertaining, I do *so* love Paul Bettany. I'm still very much in love with Chaucer. I mean *really* in love with the character. So much so that I pretty much only watch him when he's on screen. The speech that they cut near the end and everything after that, especially when he starts crying, are amazing to me. He really made the only great character in an otherwise very average movie (and he hugs the others a lot). Although I must say Rufus Sewell and James Purefoy (also known as Puresex--I kid you not, Paul Bettany says so on the DVD) are rather nice looking. Shame about the characters (Count Adhemar and the Black Prince). And Heath just has little girl arms. *hearts Chaucer*
A few of my favourite Chaucer quotes:
Chaucer: "To trudge, the slow weary walk of a man that has nothing left in his life but the impulse to simply solider on."
Wat: Say something about her breasts.
Roland: Yeah, you miss her breasts.
William: Her breasts.
Chaucer: Ye... yes, you... you could, umm... umm... but I... I would tend to look above her breasts William.
Chaucer: I will eviscerate you in fiction. Every pimple, every character flaw. I was naked for a day, you will be naked for eternity.
Chaucer: I give the truth scope!
Chaucer: "The lance that thrilled France! The harasser of Paraser! He gave them hell at La Rochelle! The enforcer of our lord God! The one, the only, Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein! (The crowd cheers) God I'm good!"
Chaucer: "Good people! I missed my introduction! But please - please, I pray you - hear it now, for I would lay rest the grace in my tongue, and speak plain. Days like these are too rare to cheapen with heavy-handed words. And so, I'm afraid, without any ado whatsoever - here he is! One of your own! Born a stone's throw from this very stadium, and here before you now… the son of John Thatcher - Sir William Thatcher!"
Finally, my *favourite* speech that was cut from the movie because, according to Helgeland, "there was nothing left for the Black Prince to do."
Chaucer: "Listen to me! Listen to me! Listen! Listen! You're cut from the same cloth, you and he! (Gets hit with a tomato from the crowd) Mother? Is my mother here? I'd recognize this cooking anywhere. Mother, please, you at least, go home. I'll tell you tonight how it turns out. I hope it is good news, mum. I hope I can tell you that I managed to convince these good people to leave my Lord William unharmed. For I have never seen a heart like the one that beats inside this man. Great it is! Swollen with all the virtues risen of pride. Free, courageous, constant… and most of all, filled with hope; at least, until today. I ask you, what makes a man noble, his lineage or his heart? And what are knightly virtues, and who decides who may possess them? My Lord, it's true, was born poor, in Cheapside, London - and so what? For he is as true as steel… no, truer; for he is like gold… to me. He is like gold, and you and I are merely iron. Yet you people, you would come to see him rust. For shame. Shame on you. Leave him. Go home. Leave him."
Okay, the link of the day. I changed at the last minute.
It's actually a link to the general Seanspotting.com site, which has many very lovely piccies, as well as a great layout. It's a very worthwhile site for fans of the 'staff. The fanlisting is linked to from the main page.
Yay! Pics of the day is fun coz I remembered one that I should really have used *ages* ago but didn't. Don't ask me why. It's a *gorgeous* piccie of Sean Biggerstaff in a kilt. That's just below the few cute Knight's Tale pics I picked up :) They may not be up for a bit though, Village Photos is a bit of a bitch most of the time.
*squee*
It's Chaucer in the Pimp Jacket!!! Followed closely by...
Puresex...err, I mean the Black Prince Edward in his own version of the Pimp Jacket. And now, the piccie you've all been waiting for...
I would lay rest the grace in my tongue.
