Feeling soooo much better now! I've even eaten something!

Being so out of it, I never got round to telling you that Tuesday night we went to the cinema (m-i-l babysat!) and watched 'Stardust', an experience that I wholeheartedly recommend! I love a good fairytale, especially one as funny and wellmade as this one (shades of 'Princess Bride'), and still have warm, fuzzy feelings. Go watch! :)

And - because Darcy and I just came across this - you can buy Buffy's body! (Not for the squeamish!)

Glad you're feeling better!

You know, I'm betting Spike paid a lot less for the Buffybot. And that came with various... um... accessories.

Indeed. I'm wondering why no one has tried to make one. Or a Spikebot...

I'm sure RealDoll would make one if you asked them. Although probably without the artificial intelligence or animatronics...


Incidentally, did you read the seller's blurrb on that ebay page?
""These [the wig and dress] can be removed and worn if you ever wanted to be Buffy's corpse for Halloween"

And then, what's the point? Unless you want to pretend he/she is asleep all the time...

No! ::backs away slowly:: There are some weird people out there!

I adored Stardust. Not only a fab fantasy film but a love story. I loved the Greek chorus of the murdered princes. (: PJ

*nods* And it wasn't the usual OTT bickering to begin with either. :) All in all everything you could want from a fairy tale!

I loved the Greek chorus of the murdered princes. (:
Oh they were *fantastic*! (And also I had fun doing a who's who - so many recognisable faces.)

A game of spotto!
How gorgeous is Michelle Pfeiffer?

[elisi]

Heee! And yes, she's gorgeous. So's Clare Danes for that matter. And the guy who played Tristan was terribly cute. (Although 'Captain Shakespeare' kinda overshadows everything else! *g*)

Thanks for that link - you can have dead-Buffy - while I have the dead-boyfriend of season 6(please!)

I liked Princess Bride - so shall look out for Stardust

while I have the dead-boyfriend of season 6(please!)
Oh no! He's mine! *g*

Do! It is very different, but has that same tongue-in-cheek outlook. :)

I'm clearly psychologically disturbed, because the first time I glanced over this, I read that last word as "someone"...

*Backs away slowly*
I thought your secret identity was Illyria, not Jasmine...

Seriously, glad you're better.

Well *obviously*! ::shakes head sadly:: Fandom claims another victim...

So glad you're feeling better, sweetie! :)

Oh, and eeeeeeeeeeeewwwww!

Thank you - and I can't tell you how lovely it is to be able to be upright.

Oh, and eeeeeeeeeeeewwwww!
::is in perfect agreement::

I loved Stardust! I adored the book, and I think the film translated well.

Glad you're feeling better!

[elisi]

I never read the book (which can be handy!), but am tempted to go look it up now.

And not being in horrible pain is very much of the good! :)

So glad you're feeling better. I'd like to go and see Stardust too (and Chris liked the look of it too when we saw a preview last time we were at the cinema), but I expect we'll end up getting it on DVD. The only films we seem to go and see these days are childrens ones.

Well it is only a PG... (That said, our 6 y.o. might be a bit freaked by it, so we won't take the girls)

Oh but you hsould take them to see Rattatouille - Darcy said it was the best animated film he'd ever seen! :)

[garfpooky.livejournal.com]

Wow, they really do sell everything on eBay. O.o

[elisi]

Indeed they do. I wonder who'll buy it...
