I should be writing

Instead I'm watching The Chronicles of Narnia. Tilda Swinton is marvelous, and the little girl who plays Lucy is one of the best child actors I've ever seen.

My favorite bit of that movie--which I loved enough that I wanted to turn around and walk back into the theatre and see it again--was the fight between the White Witch and Peter. Because oh my god, they really looked like they were trying to kill each other. I had *no sense* at *all* that Swinton was in any way holding back because she was fighting a kid. It was *awesome*. :)

It didn't surprise me, though. She purged every shred of mercy from that character right at the beginning. She did not hold back at any point.

Well, it surprised me not because of characterization, but because of the sheer glee and passion of the thing. It suited perfectly. I was just impressed they pushed it that hard.

You're right. That might have been a place where she could have held back just a little, showed a shred of something other than the ruthlessness that she was, and she didn't. She wanted to win.

This is another movie I may buy for keepsies. I didn't think I'd like it, and I liked it lots.

Constantine is my official Guilty Pleasure.
