There was loot, and lo, it was good...
Dec. 25th, 2005 08:58 pmThere were moments when I wasn't sure I'd survive till Sunday. But I did. Huzzah! So, Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah!
Okay, let's see...
We went to see King Kong, as I said, and it was gorgeous and wonderful and Peter Jackson's a complete genius, but I didn't share with anyone the little gem Tora-kun's mother shared with us as we were walking down the corridor to our theatre. We passed one of those big cardboard cutouts for Casanova, and I said I wouldn't mind seeing that, because, really -- debauchery and hedonism in old Italy? OMG YES. So, Heath Ledger is in the flick -- he's Casanova, apparently.
And then his mom turns around, looks at us, gestures at the cutout and says, completely straight-faced (because she was serious): "I didn't know Heath Ledger was a homosexual."
I nearly tripped.
( A headdesk moment, and a Christmas recap... )
