"Don't mess with me I'm an archaeologist!"

So this weekend I got to steal a princess_s all of my very own. There may have been just a bit of wine, a smattering of talk about Hornblower and a tiny bit of The Sarah Jane Adventures. There was definitely a trip to the cinema :)

WALL-E - simple, sweet and lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though it is definitely a chick flick.

Dark Knight - my main reaction was and still is a heartbroken 'HARVEEEEEYY!!!' This could be because I honestly have no idea who Aaron Eckhart is and can't tell him from Adam. In any case, the film was awesome. If rather soul destroying. Though my favourite scene featured none of the main characters; yes, it was that scene with the *cough* and the *whatsit* :)

I also was shown the first ep of Hornblower which then led to a deep profound discussion of sailors, which then detoured into a refound adoration of Paul McGann before crashlanding in us watching the Doctor Who movie purely because it featured McGann sauntering around wearing nothing more than a few blankets.

Today of course was Bonelickers. My main reaction is 'YOU BASTARDS'. Certain subjects guarantee at least a quick lookover, and the one possibly raised at the end of this week's ep means that I will have to tune-in next week if only so I can throw things at the screen.

Again I missed most of the ep, only catching the last half-hour. I saw Burn doing what he could with typically shite material. It helped that he was playing opposite James D'Arcy and their scenes were the strongest of what I saw, I think it was a case of two very capable actors acting well enough that you could almost oversee the fact that what they were saying was still complete twaddle (as happened when Indira Varma stole the show in TKKS). And to be honest, I was just happy to see Burn again *clings*

The best line of what I saw, though, came in the trailer for next week's ep. They owe Mr Bonneville a great deal for eeking some genuine humour out of this first series.
