"You think all round fruit is apples." "No I don't." "What's that?" "A tiny apple." "And that?" "A Halloween apple."
While trying to think up an E today I kept coming up with blanks until I remembered a movie I haven't seen but am dying to.
Eagle.
Many bloggers I follow have been going on and on about this movie, a friendship story staring (in the words of Shawn) wait for iiiiiiitttttt! Jamie Bell! *Ahem* We all have that one actor we would love to crash into and steal a button off his shirt when he is trying to keep from falling. Well, Jamie Bell is that one actor I like. (Any fellow who can bring Tintin to life in such a brilliant way automatically warrants a stalking from me.)
But, Jamie Bell isn't the only reason I want to see this movie. From what I have heard it is a story about friendship - and I LOVE friendship stories - and it has some cool battles in it. Mix that in with Jamie Bell and the movie is bound to be amazing. Now if only Netflix would have pity on me and put it up. (Hear that, Netflix?!)*** In other news, I missed a day in the Merlin Blog Party so now have two to catch up on.
Day Three I was supposed to list my favourite knights. I have only met one knight, but he is so amazing and dashing and sweet and daring that I know he will remain my favourite even after I meet the others. Right. Lancelot.
I like the other knights, the nameless ones who fight for Uther and help Arthur on his hunting trips. I especially liked them when that thief turned into an insane wizard and tried to kill Arthur. They were all willing to die to keep Arthur alive. But they've not surpassed Lancelot yet, in my mind. (The fellow left because he realized Arthur loved Gwen and she loved Arthur - at least I think that was the general drift. I don't really know who she loves at the moment. But either way, I admired him even more after that. Besides, that episode was just a lot of fun.)
For the next part of the party I missed there is a Merlin tag.
1. Who is your favourite character? (Can't answer with Gwen, Arthur, or Merlin.) Gwen wouldn't make my list. I know, naughty me, but I've this thing with girls who fall in love with the heroes I like. Then the heroes turn into saps and spend all day thinking about their girls and I want to throw my shoe at their heads. *Ahem* moving on. I CANNOT believe I am saying this...but since I cannot pick Merlin or Arthur, I think next in line would be Uther. I know, grumpy old Uther who has an undying hate of magic, where just one hint and he's ready to take your head off. But he does care about his subjects and those under his care, and let's face it - it keeps things lively at the castle with his constant, "IT'S MAGIC! IT MUST BE DESTROYED!" And Merlin cringing with his, "Great, time to get in the middle of it all and save everyone." Besides, he married a troll - and that is just funny.
2. Who is your favourite villain/ antagonist? The wizard lady from series one. The, "MUST KILL ARTHUR AND UTHER AND MAKE MERLIN'S LIFE MISERABLE!" girl. I like villains with good back stories and ones not so dead set on revenge, but every now and then we need the old fashioned villain who will stop at nothing to KILLL!!
3. What is your favourite Arthurian creature? There was a griffin in one episode, wasn't there? One Arthur fought. (I like griffins, I want one for pet.) Also the dragon and unicorn.
4. Which is your favourite episode from each season? I've only seen series one and half of series two. So...in series one the episode where Arthur helps Merlin fight for his village. Oh...no wait, that one is tied with the poisoned cups. And in series two, so far...the troll. (It just cracks me up Uther marrying a troll. I'll never get tired of that.)
5. Least favourite episode? Haven't found one yet.
6. Which series is your favourite. Umm...one....
7. Did you "cheat" to watch any of the seasons before they came to the USA? Didn't have to. I know everything that happens.
8. Your thoughts on Uther? As I said, he is one of my favourites, but it is a love/ hate relationship.
9. Favourite knight? I only know one, and I think he will always be my favourite. Lancelot!
10. Least favourite knight? Haven't met enough to have a least favourite.
11. Which death impacted you the most?
Arthur's...and I haven't even seen it yet. Though I just found out today that Lancelot dies...so I might have a tie. (Pardon me while I go and sob again.)
12. Describe "The Diamond of the Day" part 1 and 2 in five words.
You are picking out one episode...this can't be good. I haven't seen it, but if you are making a point to mention it here... "Time to start my sobbing."
13. When did you first discover Merlin? Not sure. I know it was a year or so ago and I believe it had a lot to do with Anna. I am not sure if I found of it before she mentioned it, but I know it was because of her ranting about it that I watched episode one. THANK YOU, ANNA!!!
14. If you are a big fan of Merlin, what do you call yourself?
I will go with Anna - as I've never called myself anything - and refer to myself as a Dragonlord, because that is cool.
15. You're thoughts on Mordred?
I've only seen him as an adorable little boy, and I like him. WHY MUST YOU KILL ARTHUR?!
16. Do you like the soundtrack? If so, what's your favourite song? I do, I just don't have a favourite.
17. How did you feel when you heard the news Merlin was ending? Depressed. Heartbroken. Then I found out HOW it ends and sang into the depths of despair.
Good bye for now. I have some morning to do, thanks for reminding me of all the reasons I have to sob, Anna.
Quote is from Psych. Shawn and Gus are talking about fruit, which Shawn thinks is apples. Cherries and pumpkins. I'm waiting to pull this line on someone someday.
Allons-y!
