Aragorn and Humperdinck

[capnzebbie]

I watched part of The Two Towers on Starz last night. I always come in around the same time, when Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are tracking Merry and Pippin after they've been kidnapped by the orcs.

Every time I see Aragorn describing what happened when the hobbits escaped I flash on Prince Humperdinck from The Princess Bride, and I'm hearing this in my head: "Iocaine powder. Odorless and tasteless." "...I shall be very *put out*." "Incontheivable!" So, of course, I giggle inappropriately while watching The Two Towers.

I also watched Dreamcatcher. It wasn't as horrible as I expected it to be. It actually held my attention to the end, which is more than I can say for the book. I stopped about a third of the way through with that.

Just to make sure - Dreamcatcher is by Stephen King, right? It's funny how I love horror but don't like him all that much... except IT.. the one with Annette O'Toole. :)

Yes, Dreamcatcher is Stephen King. I used to read all of his stuff, but the last one of his that I really enjoyed was The Talisman. Since then, meh.

If you liked It (the miniseries), you ought to check out The Stand. I thought it was great, one of the best Stephen King adaptations. But I really enjoy movies about plagues and apocalypses (okay that sounded a little weird), and this one has both. It stars Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwold. Rob Lowe, and various other people.

Hey! I finally figured out how to make italics! Pretty cool, huh? I think I'll try all these other html things and see what they do.

No, it doesn't sound weird... or maybe I'm weird as well, because I enjoy apocalypse movies too. :) I'm all about fantasy, sci-fi and horror! I'll have to check out The Stand. Thanks!

About the italics: go you! :)
