gemfyreWhen I asked for my ticket I asked for one for "The Lord of the King".
This movie was certainly made by males, no female would make a movie so torturously long. From about halfway I got increasingly more uncomfortable as my bladder filled. Eventually I was like "Now, they just have to do this and this, please get it over with so I can pee!" One and a half hours later and after about 9 points where the movie seemed to be ending but didn't I was finally allowed to go free and relieve myself, thank God.
I was figuring I'd nick out to the loo during a battle scene because no storyline vital talking happened during them. But... but... the battle scenes are all so damn awesome that I couldn't leave during them. The scenery, the action, the lighting of beacons was awesome and the trampling of horses by far bigger mounts was downright disturbing but well done. I guess some people will consider that last sentence a spoiler, but then again some people consider just a mention of the movie as a spoiler so meh, I assure you I haven't ruined the movie for you.
It was good. Although I have never read the book I just knew what was going on in a lot of the scenes, a few I had to ask Matt "Where are we now?" but it all made sense again once I got my bearings.
And who the heck was that playing the steward??? It bugged me the entire movie and I didn't stick around for the credits due to... you know... full bladder and all.
Tomorrow we go to Monarto Zoo (yay!) and I get to tell Anthony the giraffe that he's a grotty bugger and a pain in the arse to clean up after. A day or two after that we head to Clare to bum around for a bit then adventuring across the nullabor and southern coastline on the way home.
Then I will have about 1000 spam e-mails to plough through.
