Tux/Cottonwoods/DitD

[j_cheney]

Bought displacedtexan a tux today. Jos. A. Banks was having their annual 50%-off-everything sale, plus we had some coupons for an additional 25$ off each $100 spent. We got a good deal, which just makes my frugal little heart glow!

The cottonwoods are cottoning, making the whole town look like the set of Legend. (As I am about the only person in the world who's seen that one, you can just smile and nod.)

Working more on Ditd today. Will send it to my first reader this weekend and see where he thinks I need to include more info. (My personal weakness).

One of Tom Cruise's first...

My understanding is that the reason it took forever to get to DVD is that he was suing to block it. I don't know that it's true...that's just what I heard.

I had heard something about that moving being filmed before he had some cosmetic work done.

Loved it, and remember watching it on my brother's old Betamax!

Wow, we are so old!

[will-couvillier.livejournal.com]

Humm...sorta wonder what his reasons would have been. It's a fantastic movie, and I bought the duluxe version in the clear case.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Me, too ;o)

(Probably just an urban legend)

I love that film!

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Of course I've seen Legend. What group of people do you think you're talking to here?

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Oops! Sorry....

Yes really, Fantasy writers and we haven't seen legend? Good grief! Wonderfully done unicorns as well if I remember correctly.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Yes, very well, except for one tiny horn wobble...

I love the film, in spite of the fact that Tom Cruise stars in it. I think Tim Curry did an excellent job as Darkness.

I'm also glad I was able to get the Euro version on dvd. I like that one better than the American version.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I didn't like the Euro version, primarily because of the music. I prefer the Tangerine Dream soundtrack, so the other one sounds.....weird.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

In spite of...

How very true. ;o)

I <3 Legend. One of my favorite bits of escapism!

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Fluffy!

[tinaconnolly.livejournal.com]

Heh. I remember renting Legend, but the tape was so full of snow static we couldn't watch it.

I miss cottoning cottonwoods.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

The cottoning is kinda magical...

"You know the Dark Lord, he don't like to wait."

Classic!

I've seen Legend! One of the best fantasy movies of all time (I think). Unfortunately, when I watched it on DVD last time it was the director's cut. HORRIBLE! Go with the original!

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

I have a copy of the original, too. I agree with you. ;o)

[editormum.livejournal.com]

Heh - who HASN'T seen it, if only to have a giggle at Tom Cruise's crooked teeth :) A pretty movie though...

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Pretty is the precisely correct word...
