The hills are aliiiiiive!!!!

Don't know where that came from.....
Just seemed like a good post title.
*grins*

I realized that I hadn't posted since Wednesday. I seem to be slipping.
*falls on face*
:)

I watched Gabby and Madelaine today. They are so funny. Gabby is in first grade. That makes me feel kind of old. I remember when she was two years old.
*sigh*

James will be back in Utown for the week of Thanksgiving.
Why does the man insist on torturing us!!!!!?????
ONE WEEK????
*bangs head against wall*
I asked Sal if we should just pay someone to get a bootleg during his little one week stint.
Bah.

Sometimes I think my short term memory gets turned off or something.
I totally forgot that Netflix didn't have Ken's Hamlet, so when I got the dvd and saw that it was Kevin Kline, I was disappointed.
However, I decided that I might as well watch it since I had it.

Well.

It's fab.
He is just wonderful. His Hamlet is very human, even in his "madness." Ken can be a little overpowering, sort of larger than life.
But Kevin Kline has given me a totally new view of Hamlet. His Hamlet is very tender, very loving. I took one look at the guy when he came on screen and this wave of emotion came over me. I was crying in about a minute flat. That has never happened to me before. I was thinking "Oh man, I am CRYING!!!!!"
LOL

When Ophelia tries to return the letters....

Good heavens.

He's walking towards her and he's raising his hands to her face and she shoves the letters at him. And his reaction. Yeesh. It's like someone unplugged his internal light bulb. Yikes. Just rub some more salt in that wound, Oph!!!!
*smacks Ophelia*

I should probably mention that for a major portion of the story, he is barefoot in black slacks and................................a white, rather semi-poofy shirt.
And that never hurt anyone.
*grins*

Anyways, it's just lovely.
Emma is coming over tomorrow to watch it with me.
I haven't watched the final scene yet, so who knows what could happen.
Both of us might be a total blubbering mess.
I'll let you know what happens.
