beccaelizabethI woke up and put the tele on, and Gladiator is just starting.
Only problem being the subtitles are at like half speed and keep lagging behind. Odd.
".. for you are in Elysium and already dead" :-)
"What we do in life echoes in eternity"
... why is it the big speeches are all about telling people how to kill real good?
Messy.
... well yeah, they're about that because I only watch stuff with swords in, but ANYways.
I had some sleep. Sleep is very much of the good.
This opening bit of Gladiator very much demonstrates what Teach was saying about the difference between drama as writ by Shakespeare - a few people on a stage asking you to use your imagination - and as done by modern cinema - god knows how many people dying quite realistically.
I think a bit more realistic than I'm into tonight, actually.
*turns off TV*
I actually quite like the world PG rated. I mean, even if the story only gets to the kissing parts or there aren't any severed body parts anywhere, I think there's quite a lot of good stories to tell.
And if it leaves it up to your imagination, you don't have to imagine stuff likely to put you off following the story.

on the up side, I woke up with a version of assignment 2 trying to come together in my head, like fic usually does for me.
down side is I really do have to do assignment 1 first.
