(no subject) [Collected Thoughts]

I watched part of the English Patient before Survivor last night. It's been on my Netflix queue for awhile and -- Naveen Andrews! (okay he's got a small part, but whatever).

I don't think I'll finish the movie. I kind of liked it, but not really the flashback parts. Kirstin Scott Thomas does nothing for me as an actress and I don't think she had Ralph Fiennes had good chemistry. (I may be crazy). Or, well, they did have sparks but I couldn't see the whole "omigod! lust!love!" thing. I wanted to kill Willam Defoe from the minute I saw him, but I think I have a residual hate on from Boondock Saints. What I did like was Ralph Fiennes and Julitte (however you spell it). That I could get and it was interesting. And Naveen Andrews -- his full stop comment when Ralph was trying to get him to read Kipling had me snickering all night.

I'm trying to figure out if I should finish watching the movie or not bother. I left it where Kristin Scott Thomas's husband saw her going off with Ralph Fiennes.

so should I watch more of it or just leave it alone?

I don't recall the film in deatil, but if you're watching for Naveen and haven't hit his big steamy scenes yet, there's that.

I've seen him washing his hair when what's her name comes out and gives him olive oil and I think there was another that I missed but I'm not sure.

Maybe I should just go through and watch Naveen's scenes.

Has there been kissage? I remember kissage. Also, yearning.

There's been no kissing...there just kind of edging around each other and longing.

I think I'll finish watching it. I do find the present day scenes between the patient and the nurse very compelling, I just don't see anythng between Katherine and the patient. Like the scene when she goes to see him after they are rescued and they grab at each other and he rips her clothes off -- I just couldn't see where the passion was coming from.

Maybe I'd like the book better.
