not much you can do or say to faze me
May. 1st, 2007 10:06 pmI know I just did one of these, but I totally have to tell you how great the following things are, so I bring you yet another REC TRIAD (just picture me saying this like "piiiiiiiiiiigs in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace")
Rec Triad!!!
A Song (among many):
Even though I haven't seen 300 yet, the music is fantastic. It's like house-techno-Middle Eastern-operatic-mastery of awesomeness. Gorgeous, and might make me actually see the movie. :o) So check it out. Review and listing here :o)
A Book:
Ever think that Greek myths should still occur now, with the whole gods and goddesse gettin' it on with mortals and siring demigods? Well, then you should read The Lightning Thief by Rick Ricordan, because Percy just discovered that the world is a lot closer to his Ancient History text than not... Hysterical first person narration and any and all classics geeks will love the in-jokes and side references to myths and sundry. Link to Amazon here.
A Movie:
This weekend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rhymester and I watched Blood Diamond and it was amazing. First of all, the story is fascinatingly raw, the violent history of Sierra Leone and diamond smuggling and civil upheaval, etc. But then there's also the awe-inspring Djimon Hounsou, and Jenifer Connelley, and a stunning performance by Leonardo diCaprio (with a spot-on white African accent; at one point he even speaks an amazing dialect-language type thing... very fun). Sad and violent, but really interesting movie. And I have this new (ish) thing for movies and stuff about Africa.
