Harry Potter and the PRB.

Journal Entry: Mon Aug 24, 2009, 6:53 AM
  • Mood: Grumpy
  • Listening to: Howard Jones - Things Can Only Get Better.
  • Watching: Brideshead Revisited, the amazing 80s one.
I was supposed to be starting my new job today. Alas my recruitment agency is a complete and utter bag of shit and got everything wrong, so here I am sat writing on Deviantart. Yippeeeee.

:boo:

ANYWAY. If you were wondering, the PRB stands for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, as anybody who has been watching DESPERATE ROMANTICS will know. Now, I loved the PRB before they were cool and in the depths of my gallery there is a whole heap of crap inspired by them. And now they have thier own series! DANG, I'm in the mood to do some casual film and television reviewing, of the extra enthusiastic kind!

OH MY, IT'S LIKE ALL MY BIRTHDAYS AND CHRISTMAS ROLLED INTO ONE.


What's that BBC? Pretty artists in colourful waistcoats, talking about how beautiful redheads are? No, think I'll give that a miss...

Yeees. Well it's very nice, not exactly historically accurate (WHERE IS FORD MADOX BROWN?) and rather like a soft porn film with paintings, but it's fun and colourful and has a catchy themetune, horaay! Plus it fills in all the scandals and personalities that the history books just refer to shamefully. Better than The Tudors anyway, that looks SHITE.



AND I WENT TO SEE HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE.

:wow: :wow: :wow:

Now a lot of people don't like this film because they think the most important issue in filmaking is to STICK EXACTLY TO J.K. ROWLING'S SACRED PLOT. Because films like The Shining, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Lord Of The Rings never EVER changed anything from the books they were based on. Hmm? I thought it was a very good film despite the changes, probably one of the best in terms of acting and the things that actually matter in the movies. Just another two films to go now, I'm counting down the days I really am.


Draco was definately shagging that vanishing cabinet.

Not that I'm saying it's perfect, obviously nothing beats curling up with a HP book and there were some pretty straaange directorial choices. THE CORNFIELD SCENE, JUST WHY? More getting funky with the Pensieve would have been nice! Ginny's acting is akin to some trees I have met and I still can't see Gambon as Dumbledore. Blah blah, blah blah blah oh I'm just happy it's out already and Snape looks practically strokable.

Well yes, reviews aside I've been having an incredibly laid back summer, lots of lazing around, the occasional night out on the piss with friends and holidays to Wales, lovely! Even more laid back now that my job has vanished, booo.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TOM. He's the best. :dance:

GLORIOUS PEOPLE!

Megan and Sadie are the most glorious of these, it's great seeing them again, not half as good as seeing them every day though, waaah.

Anyone who remembers :iconalkalinedio:, he just got engaged! XD

I wish I was british and could see BBC programs all day long :(

Haha, most of it's awful to be honest! Have the odd gem sometimes though. You can find a lot of stuff on YouTube, what are you after? :)

That new
DESPERATEROMANTICS
you talk about. sounds neat
:iconkinkybootz:
BBC iPlayer is probably your best bet then for full episodes, YouTube seems to just have fan-made stuff.
