Fuck's sake...

So, I have a Livejournal. Oh God. I feel so dirty.

Easter holidays are so boring.

I think I'll go watch Master and Commander again.

At least now I won't have to answer those stupid anti-spam challenges every time I want to leave an insulting message in Hex's journal.

That's just tickety-boo.

M&C is most squeesome. Russel Crowe, wet breeches... enough said.

Plus, molestable young midshipmen by the score, obligatory snarky Irish ship's doctor, and utterly adorable First Lieutenent desperately and hopelessly in love with his Captain.

Mm, I want a Jack Aubrey doll. It should be illegal to look that hot while playing a violin.

If you do buy it, I highly reccomend the two-disc addition, merely for the sheer genius of the deleted scenes:

Naked Jack being ogled by Tom Pullings
Random midshipmen throwing dominos at Hollom
Stephen teaching a certain sea-going hobbit of Scottish extraction how to read
Tom mocking a random ugly midshipman for being a spelling cripple

Though I did come away feeling that the entire film was one of Tom's wet dreams - Stephen getting shot, Jack being all, "Oh, I must consult with my dear Mr Pullings" at every turn, and, of course, the film ends with Jack sailing off into the sunset to rescue Tom from treacherous Frenchies. Proof enough, thinks I.

The books by Patrick O'Brian, which the film is based on, are also great, and should be read and enjoyed by all. Truly, he was the King of Subtext.

In much the same way that Sherlock Holmes was the Queen of Snark.

Oops...

I meant King. King of Snark.
