This weekend was… not fun. Ah, funerals, where decades worth of resentments surface. And distant friends of the family who haven’t seen you since you were six tell you repeatedly how much you’ve grown (and get you mixed up with your younger sister, though since Sarah was in uniform I can’t imagine how this was possible.
On the other hand, I did get to see my family again (including Sarah, who I otherwise wouldn’t have seen until this summer). My Mom, my Dad, Sarah and I also went Sunday night to see Cold Mountain, which was about thirty minutes too long. That, and the ending made the rest of the film seem kind of pointless. It did have some beautiful camera work and scenery, though (and I include Jude Law in this statement), plus some soft core porn involving Jude Law and Nicole Kidman. Not to mention serious femslash potential.
The best part were the scenes near the beginning showing the Battle of the Crater, though. Very graphic, very true to life. Sarah maintains that the whole film went downhill from there.
*snickers* According to Sarah, the guys in her squad think it’s so hot that I go to an all women’s college (which they refer to as “that lesbian school”). She’s decided not to shatter their precious illusions by telling them that we don’t really have pillow fights in lacy lingerie, like in Animal House.
