Vile Bodies

[altariel]

We watched Bright Young Things over the weekend, which is Stephen Fry's adaptation of Vile Bodies. I'd only read middling reviews of it, but I thought it was extremely good, although depressing even tho' a happy ending had been tagged on for some reason. Extra nerdy points for fans of the Dune miniseries(es): James McAvoy and Alec Newman were in it, who play (Young) Leto and Paul Atreides, respectively.

HPB landed yesterday morning and to be honest I found it a slog and not really all that engaging... and yet somehow still better than OotP... I've been enjoying reading people's comments about it much more. Perhaps I am just in a bad mood, since I have been grumpy about the end of season 4 of Babylon 5 as well.

Thanks for the BYT comments. I bought it on the strength of the middling reviews, because it was only at middling price in the sale, but I haven't managed to see it yet. I'll move it up the list.

(Ha, did you see that, the way I suggested that I'm organised, and have a list and things? It's a lie.)

Sorry you're tired. I hope the week improves. Cooler weather would be a good start.

Definitely put it further up your list (whether it exists or not *g*).

Cooler today, thank god... hope it carries on this way...

Weather has broken here! We've had rain!

Hurrah! Well, I'd rather not too much rain, but rain as a transition to cooler weather would be good.

It's cooler, too. I've put a shawl on.
