Hidalgo...

[fajrdrako]

I almost didn't go to see Hidalgo, because... Well, for various reasons, none of them very good. Ambivalence. Perhaps a little fear of seeing Viggo Mortensen in a lesser role than as Aragorn, and what, after Aragorn, could be anything but a lesser role?

We made a fannish evening of it and went as a crowd and guess what? It was okay after all. I loved it.

I've never felt lust for a cowboy before.¹

I was surprised and delighted to see J.K. Simmons in it. I love his acting. And I usually fail to recognize him from one role to the next.

¹Malcolm Reynolds doesn't count. He's a captain, not a cowboy. Or maybe he's both.

*sigh* Perhaps if other cowboys had worn perfectly fitted pants that made their (very nice!) legs look eight miles long.... Woo, is it suddenly hot in here?

I'm so ready to go see the movie again. Like now. :)

His legs are amazing. Simply amazing. Well worth staring at for hours at a time!

Yeah, seeing it again would be nice. Any time soon.

Yeah, those legs.

Never seen "Silverado", have you? :)

Yes, I saw "Silverado", though I confess I hardly remember it. Frankly, all I remember of it was that I was bored! What should I be remembering from it?
