Stuph, various
Jul. 18th, 2004 01:32 amSaw "King Arthur" today (well, yesterday now)... not bad, not great, and I will take issue that the story is the "real story". Admittedly, though, it could be the closest we'll get to the actual movie itself.
A couple of things that crossed my mind about the movie (I don't think the questions themselves contain spoilers, but any answers might):
(1) Who's narrating the beginning and end of the movie? I thought it was Lancelot, at least for the beginning... but I'm not sure.
(2) Who was the Saxon guy that Arthur and his knights were battling?
I'm hoping to see "I, Robot" either later today or later this week, schedule/logistics permitting.
Got dangerously close to boiling over earlier today... was mulling this over during dinner. I remember offering up a silent prayer (no outwardly visible signs) for the strength to keep my temper in check. One of my chronic problems, as others would probably attest, is that I seem to go ballistic at insignificant random things. And that's likely because of stress from varying incidents, and I know there are times when just one more thing to put me over the edge will send me into orbit. Even seeing two kittens curled up sleeping next to each other at a pet store didn't do much to ease my tension at the time. All I could do was watch and envy the kitties, because cats definitely are masters at relaxation.
I chalked all that up to being tired and decided to let someone else drive since I didn't want to risk an encounter on the road that would send me flying off the handle.
But there is one thing that still makes me uneasy, and interestingly enough a M*A*S*H episode comes to mind ("The Young and Restless", I think). It's the episode where the surgeons (Hawkeye, BJ and Charles) get so upset with each other that they tear The Swamp apart. It's in this episode where Col Potter confides to Sidney Freedman that he's not worried that the surgeons are upset since they're blowing off steam... but he gets worried when he gets upset, especially with no good reason. And that's something I can definitely relate to... especially when the followup question is, "Why?" or "What's wrong?" and there's no answer available.
In any case, I needed to get this posting out in the open. And I also need to get some sleep. Until next time...
