It feels like I've been waiting to see this film forever (my sympathies to my US peeps who will have to wait a while longer), and, for the most part, I was satisfied with what I got. ( Spoilers beyond the cutCollapse )
Since I shelled out for a name change token, I figured I'd better start using this LJ. (Seriously, LJ, fifteen dollars? It does feel very nice to have my name more or less consistent across all the social media/online things, but my God, fifteen dollars?)
Anyway.
In my continued efforts to establish (and maintain) writing momentum, I thought I'd start posting a daily word count. To LJ, which is practically dead, rather than tumblr, which is where all my followers are. But tumblr is a time suck, and I am trying to cut down on the amount of time I spend on that site. So LJ it is.
Today's word count: 816
See? Already I am more productive than I have been in days.
And now I will add a productivity ruiner in the form of the new Legend trailer, in which Tom Hardy looks unbearably attractive as Reggie Kray and utterly mad as Ronnie Kray. (Okay, fine, I find Ronnie Kray weirdly attractive, too. Shut up.)
I find it kind of funny and fitting that THard is portraying Ronnie Kray, seeing as he played Handsome Bob. The latter is an example of the gay gangster trope in British works, and the former is arguably the real world inspiration for said gay gangster trope in British works. It's neat.
