They've made a movie of Tristan and Isolde instead of making another King Arthur or Romeo and Juliet. I'm impressed.

Last Tristan and Isolde movie I saw sorta sucked. Hope this one doesn't suck.

Maybe it didn't suck. I dunno. Wasn't memorable. Not even Richard Burton. But it's been, uh, decades...

Lovespell

What's the name of the new one?

Tristan and Isolde is the name of the new one.

Yeah, I found it. Now I'm thinking of "Lovespell" fondly.

Hello again! Hope your holiday was good!

I still haven't seen Pride and Prejudice. Mind you, I *own* six hours of Colin Firth, so it's hard to see the point, but I suppose for the sake of completeness . . .

Yeah!

Which version did they base it on? Chaucer? Shakespear? Wagner? -OR- dare I say it, Hollywood? ;-)

Just read the blurb:

An affair between a very noble knight (Franco) and the very married future Queen of England (Myles) spells doom for the young lovers.

England... ENGLAND? Dude, she's supposed to be Queen of Cornwall... ugh.

*checks imdb*

ouch.

on the other hand, Gaiman is working on a film Beowulf. Now -that- could be good.

I'm quite thrilled about this, especially since I'm starting a new Arthurian larp chronicle shortly.
