I am not your queen
28 Apr 2007 03:59 pmToday was a great day for spending money on worldly goods!

_leareth and I went to see 300 and I loved it SO MUCH. SO MUCH. I have some rather incoherent meta comments about the fantastic juxtaposition of extreme beauty and extreme ugliness and XERXES OMG and how they pretty much stuck word-for-word to the Frank Miller graphic novel and how kickass Lena Headey was as the Spartan Queen (she was Luce! in Imagine Me & You! I KNEW I'd seen her before. lesbian points! doubleplusgood. etc.) and how I wish David Wenham had been allowed to use his real voice instead of sounding like he was permanently trying to gargle with wet gravel, but...they won't be much more profound than that. SO WONDERFUL. Exactly my kind of film.
- I bought Missy Higgins' new album, 'On A Clear Night', which I am excited about beyond all reason.
- I also found The Royal Tenembaums, one of my favourite films, on sale for $10.
- AAAAND (*drumroll*) I finally caved to my months-long craving for Lost Girls by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie. I won't shell out $130 sight-unseen for just anything, but I trust Alan Moore implicitly and I've been dying to find some texts on the complex sexualisation of 'innocent' characters from existing literature because of one of my own germinal projects. I've heard this one is phenomenal.
