Nov. 23rd, 2003 06:35 pmNext year in England will be a movie that I *must see*. The LIbertine. Johnny Depp plays Lord Rochester (of the pornographic poetry night) and John Malkovich plays Charles II. There is nothign more I can tell about this film at this point, but to say that I must see it. And
manycolored you must see it with me, becasue I'm sure there will be all sorts of clammy joys, and lots of cause for silly giggling at literary things. And Johnny Depp.
And I'm almost done with Canto 5 of the Faerie Queene, of whoch I was supposed to have 8 cantos read in teh first book. We're only doign book 1, which is good, as I really do't think I could take much more. I really don't much care for Elizabethan poetry in most cases. And god, if he makes another head villain a female character I think I'm going to have a fit. It just goes to show something about the mindset of the time, despite the fact that the country was being *ruled* by a female at the time. And also more proof that Spencer was a bastard. Tis a pity. I really wanted to read this for several years, and now I'm all disillusioned about him.
