boo yeah.

Götterdämmerung has come and gone...and I survived. If only just.

Luck of all lucks, I got the thesis statement that I studied the least. Although I'd been smart enough to 'study' that last. Recency effects, yo! (I knew there was a reason why I like studying Cognitive Psych. It's easy to apply it in real life! xD)

Also, right after taking the orals test I went to my TH121 teacher's office and chatted with her a bit. Until TH131 teacher went in to talk to her, that is. Of course, me being a total coward, I fled immediately. The last thing I heard was TH131 asking TH121 if I was her student last semester. MEEP. >____<

But seriously, I am SO glad that that part of my life is over and done with. I can sleep for real this time around!

the scarlet pimpernel (1984)

I thought I wouldn't like the 1982 version of The Scarlet Pimpernel because I didn't like the concept of Chauvelin being Marguerite's spurned suitor. But it actually worked, mainly because of Ian McKellen, I think. If it were any other actor, I don't think it would appeal to me as much.

Anthony Andrews' interpretation of Sir Percy's character reminds me of the one made by Leslie Howard in the 1934 film, although I think Andrews' performance was better. He just looks so freaking cute when he's being foppish while Howard merely looked...foppish. xD

( commentary, typed as i was watching the film )

All in all, I liked this version better than the film with Leslie Howard in it, mostly because Jane Seymour was a better Marguerite than Merle Oberon in my opinion, and Ian McKellen's Chauvelin is good.
