I did make it to Master and Commander last night.
After the movie, Scribe went, "Well, thank god, it's over."
Surprised, I asked, "Why, you didn't like it?" A non-committal grunt later from her and I was adding, "Was better than RotK for me."
She looked at me like I'd grown two heads or something. "Huh-huh. I fell asleep."
"I wish I had for RotK," I retorted, a big, fat smile on my face.
And sadly enough, I find it's the truth. Both only screened once, Master and Commander comes on top for me - by quite a margin. Sacrilege, I know, but hey... I always was a sucker for ship/submarine flicks anyway, and Peter Weir's work to boot. Paul Bettany was simply brilliant and he and Russell Crowe did a fab job with their characters' friendship. The whole cast was great, the script beautifully written, the music fitting and inspiring. Then again, I'm a sucker for cello too. :)
Anyway, before I get hit by juicy tomatoes, I'll duck off my soap box.
Ciao.
