I'm sleepy. Was going to head in early to work, but hung around on LJ instead. Oh well, I don't care.

Stayed up late watching Lolita. I think I was right. That seems to be the last film that Jeremy Irons made and appeared as a good actor, instead of a ham (Dungeons & Dragons, anyone? Or how about the Time Machine? Sure, I loved him in both, but such ham performances.). Loved the film. I don't think it quite warranted the 18+ rating, I mean no nudity, and the violence was... well, violent and shocking, but certainly not enough to warrant more than a 15+ rating, I would have thought.

I just loved the film. Lolita came across as a real, if confused and sexually precocious teenager, and Humbert felt like a real guy, albiet one with strong emotional problems. Made me sad, and a little horrified, but sometimes it's wonderful to really be touched by a film; to have your emotions put through the wringer; to hurt and mourn for the characters, and then be able to go back to your everyday life.

*nods* Highly recommended.

Also highly recommended is paperbkryter's Smallville 101 - a guide for beginners. Go read it, and don't make her smack you with a dead halibut repeatedly.

I'm going to see Weird Al tonight!

I realise I've been kinda quiet about that, so I decided to take this chance to shout about it. *g*

Jeremy Irons is WONDERFUL as Snape in Harry Potter and the Secret Chamber Pot of Aserbaijan. Or, in his own words, he's 'gorgeous'.
