I have never used this icon before, but the post calls for it, I think :)

So, I went to see a good friend of mine last night, and she suggested we watch a movie she had just rented. The History Boys. A British comedy about teachers, and high school students trying to get to Oxford & Cambridge. I said OK, basically to humor my friend, who is a teacher herself. I had no slightest inkling the movie was going to turn out this good. Basically, we were both totally floored by it. Just... O. M. G. Totally fucking brilliant (or 'brill', as the Brits would say ;). The dialog was killer (I LOVE British humor, give it to me anytime, I just adore the way it makes my brain work to catch the punch line... LOL), the portrayal of characters refreshingly honest, and the whole story just rocked the foundations of social bigotry down to the very core. I don't want to give any spoilers, but let me just say, as an incentive, that The Gay in this movie is not only a subtle undercurrent, but a powerful driving force, moving the plot along all on its own... LOL. So run to see it, folks, when you have the opportunity, and then come back here to discuss it with me.:D

( And, to top off the review... )

And now I gotta get my ass in gear, because I'm meeting akashaelfwitch for another round of POTC:AWE fangirling in about two hours.:) (After last night's dose of brainy entertainment, I'm just in the mood for some pretty Orlando and his unsurprisingly 'Aragornish' facial expressions worn to match the nice burgundy pirate shirt.;D) And then another friend - the one I saw last night - wants to drag me to some lesbian bar or cafe (a quiet place, I hope, because crowded dance floors somehow no longer hold the appeal they had for me a few years back...). OMG... what a weekend. *wipes brow* ;)
