Finally got to see the latest Twilight movie tonight (was waiting until my flatmate had been corrupted seen the DVD of the first one). It wasn't as bad as I'd feared, though all the talk of Volterra made me smile, as my chief memory of the place was insisting that my parents do a 50 mile detour while we were [not] in the area because I wanted to see the geothermal power station. Which was duly impressive in a Silver Pipes Rearing Up Everywhere Amid Hellish Clouds of Steam, with narry a sun-soaked photogenic Tuscan clock tower in sight, let alone hordes of tasty red-cloaked tourists.
I digress. I was expecting to find the Volturi ridiculous, but I rather liked them - I might even go read that section in the book (have been trying but failing to find it online - guess whatever copy I found a year ago has been hit with a C&D).
I especially liked the blond one who lurked at the corner of the screen like a figment of a Vampire!Malfoy fic. As usual when my curiosity is piqued I went straight to IMDB, but no I'd never heard of him nor any of his past roles.
But was most amused to see that he's been cast in HP7/8 as... Gellert Grindelwald.
Hmmm.
Hmmm. :-)
This might even drive me to slash.
PS - And yes, I'm back online now *waves hello*, though still not caught up with everything/one. Not least because last weekend was spent in Christmassy Edinburgh catching up with friends. :) It was odd returning to Spinners' End - this was the first time I'd been (that far) North since moving here, and hence the first time I've been faced with the juxtaposition between what was and what is. And I felt that should give me something more profound or soul-soothing to reflect on and write about, but my brain has remained defiantly fuzzy and unenlightening. Guess fictional vampire squee is as insightful as I get these days.
