Today in the paper: "Dinosaurs could fly you to Hollywood"
Brilliant. I wonder if the dinosaurs ask first, or if they just fly you to Hollywood without your consent? You could go to sleep and wake up in Hollywood, with no-one to blame but the dinosaurs.
This makes me so happy.
Giffy left for Thailand yesterday, with her boy in tow. Lee and I got up stupidly early (for a Sunday) to see her off. Well, she certainly left. I got a text message from her later on saying they were in Sydney and had seen the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the plane, which must have been spectacular.
We also got to see the Lord of the Rings stuff they have on display in the airport. Very nice it was too. Now I really want a home library styled off Elrond's one in Rivendell. Lovely big shelves with curly bits and shiny books and scrolls.
Then we went to the Thorndon Fair. Lee got very sunburnt on his neck, but I was wearing a hat and have long hair anyway, so I didn't. Didn't buy anything apart from candyfloss, fudge and lunch. I think it was better last year.
I did watch some Morris Dancers do a butcher dance though, and that was cool. I like Morris Dancers. They always seem so happy. Much more than clowns do.
Then last night we saw Underworld. My biggest problem with this movie (apart from the fact that Kate Beckinsdale only has one outfit) is that they didn't establish any set of rules for the vampires. The vampires didn't seem to be very powerful, sure they could jump really high, and they didn't mind about being shot, but apart from that they just seemed like rick Goths.
The werewolves were cool, though. Some of the best transformation sequences I've seen. I like werewolves, they're not as creepy as vampires.
It wasn't that good a movie, it was too long, and the story too convoluted and they didn't explain some important things.
I didn't think it was as bad as Seraph made out though, he left a message on my phone, must have been at the same screening as we were, saying I shouldn't waste my money...
Where were the Vampire rules? They weren't following any set that I know. Wasn't Anne Rice, wasn't White Wolf, certainly wasn't Dracula.
