Bedtime...
Apr. 26th, 2007 12:02 am...but I wrote this in RtS today and it really amused me more than it should:
Liz gaped at him. ‘You’re… kidding, right? You thought The Elephant Man was actually going to be about elephants?’
‘Well, clearly it wasn’t, Fish. And I was sorely disappointed. I thought that lopsided bloke was going to care for the elephants, or train them or something. It could have been a heartwarming tale for all the family instead of a miserable film about a man with a lumpy face who goes to the opera and dies.’
I am needlessly proud of the description of the plot of The Elephant Man as 'a man with a lumpy face who goes to the opera and dies'. I should write taglines, really I should.
