So, I went to see Wimbledon today with [livejournal.com profile] miriamus. Cutting for details, out of respect for the non-teenage-girls among my f-list.


Okay, so, as I pointed out to Mims, this felt less like, say, The Mighty Ducks or whatever than it did like Love Actually- unsurprising, since it's by the same people. This is really good, because I can't STAND sports films. Also it made no attempt towards realism, which was good: there's no way you can really make a 119th ranked wildcard winning Wimbledon sound sensible. Therefore, it turned out to be pretty much a rom-com with lots of scenes on tennis courts. ;) And, ultimately, it was a nice one- with the added bonus of Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst. Sweet, a little silly, happy ending, hot people, what more does one want?

It ocurred to me while watching that Paul Bettany may, in fact, be the answer to Hugh Grant, who I detest; inevitably he plays incompetent foppishly handsome idiots, or sleazes. I can't stand either, so although I almost always like the movies, because I'm a girl and I like romantic comedies, nevertheless I hate him. Paul Bettany seems like the answer. he isn't handsome in the conventional way, he has a much nicer but still British voice, and he actually plays in films other than Four Weddings and a Funeral and its ilk- I first saw him as Chaucer in A Knight's Tale, in which he was hilarious, and then as Maturin in Master and Commander, another performance I thoroughly enjoyed. So hooray. ;)

And a brief note on kisten Dunst: I am apparently the only person on the planet who thinks she's hot. But, you know, I don't care. She should have stayed redhead, though. :p


Apart from that, there's nothing. Except I have this choral rehearsal tomorrow- I'm singing in Beethoven's Ninth with the <a href="http://www.wyo.wellington.net.nz>Wellington Youth Orchestra</a> in their final concert this year, which will be fun, adn the first rehearsal's tomorrow. :-) Wish me luck, and hope tehre's someone my age at the rehearsal- I amd having considerable doubts. :p And I saw Smallville tonight. Am I the only one who finds it wierd that they haven't changed the title credits at all since the last time I watched the show- which must be more than a year ago now??

No way, I think she's gorgeous!

But you're right on the redhead-thing. :D

I think Kirsten Dunst is hot, too :D I saw that movie last weekend -I thought the gay German was hotter than Paul Bettany.

XD oh, German was totally more hot, and yet... hmm... Paul Bettany certainly isn't calssically pretty. And because of that, he can actually act, so he gains a sort of, mm, intellectual Hotness, if you take my meaning. ;)

*pouts back* well, I'm sorry.... I thought we were seeing The Stepford Wives. You didn't sound too keen on W. when we were talking...! It's had okay reviews, and Debbie said it was good in English this morning... yes, no?

Or we could find Zatoichi. *browses*

Talk to Meg about it, she's keen to go to a movie in the weekend as well. I don't have any great objections to it (apart from Nicole Kidman. ;) )

And I'm not _really_ annoyed. Just saying. :P
