this and that - Viggo gushing, mostly :P
Sep. 22nd, 2007 09:45 pmOkay, false alarm. I went to the proper American Airlines website, found the same flight I had found through Orbitz, and booked my tickets with no trouble there (and even slightly cheaper to boot). So it's all settled. San Francisco, see you in a month! *bounces*
Also, last night I went to see Eastern Promises again - with![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
akashaelfwitch, to celebrate her birthday (not that we wouldn't have gone anyway...;P). I think I was much more able to focus on the movie itself this time - in Toronto, I was too overwhelmed by the whole festival experience, by having seen the 'real', 'live' Viggo right before the show, by the knowledge that he was actually sitting somewhere across the room with David and the other actors, watching the film just as we were... I was paying a lot of attention to other people's reactions too, for some reason; and I have to say that the festival audience was much more responsive than that of a dull suburban Chicago movie theater.:P I shall never forget the spontaneous applause after the bathhouse fight scene ended, for example (and I never thought I would be moved to clap my hands after seeing something as gruesome as that - but somehow I got the point). Anyway... this time, I was really watching the film, not what was going on around me; and I am even more impressed with it as a result. ( some mild spoilers, perhaps )
