Remake

[altariel]

Hey, someone remade Blake's 7 and I never knew! I missed the start and I've only watched ten minutes, but so far we've had pacification drugs, rebels massacred in a basement, and Sarkoff's gramophone records. No sign of going into space either - see, I knew it would work.

And Sean Pertwee, apparently. The thought of Sean Pertwee and Christian Bale in a totalitarian state with swords and sartorially-awesome coats fills me with something akin to glee.

And Sean Bean. The thought of Sean Bean and Sean Pertwee in the same film makes me worry that the universe may fold in on itself.

Actually, Sean Bean and Sean Pertwee have already been in another film together, and the universe hasn't imploded yet.

But this was the 1991 TV adaptation of Clarissa, so there wasn't any dystopian regime in sight. And no nice coats, either.

I watched that at the time, and I had completely forgotten the Two Seanies were in it.

Well, I only remembered because I bought it on DVD less than a year ago. And I watch costume dramas far too obsessively...

I don't *think* Sean Pertwee gets to wear one of the coats, though Sean Bean does. But they're *very* nice coats. High collars will do it every time - and the black, obviously. Ahem.

Can we get you one, then?

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Ok, *nearly* every time. Sadly, they wouldn't work on me.

I think we should get one, just to make sure.

Poor glitterboy. I keep imaging a giant doll with which kalypso plays dress-ups. My apologies to both if it causes running away and screaming on either part...

I haven't noticed any running away and screaming when I utter the magic words "Would you like to try on...?"

*nods* It's the giant doll bit that might've provoked the screaming. From the sounds of things, magic words and all that, there's quite a load of free will being invoked :)
