Pandora's clock - I didn't know!
May. 23rd, 2007 04:08 pmSo, I'm a fan of RDA, which should come as a surprise to absolutely noone. Which means I drool right along with everyone else when I watch Pandora's clock.
Entriely aside: I hate the fact I can't buy Pandora's clock and a bunch of other movies with RDA. What's with that? I'm acutally terribly, terribly tempted to download the crappy version you can probably find on BitTorrent or eMule or something - when in reality I'd pay for it on DVD. So... excuse me, movie-makers... but I wouldn't yell too loudly about people pirating your movies, while you refuse to give us a legal way to acquire them.
And, sure, I know it isn't that black-and-white, because there are people who record movies in cinnemas and what-not, but I'll dare the comment that the people who download those crappy versions aren't real movie-fans anyway. Or they could never stomach 2+ hours of gritty, bad-quality film.
And really, it wouldn't cost them a bundle. Digitize your movies and put them on a big server - and burn-on-demand. It wouldn't cost you anything, because the price would be equal to the cost. You'd get a lot of happy customers - and you could, with a clear conscience, hunt the remaining pirates into the ground, for all I care.
Aanyway... I was talking about Pandora's clock, which I always thought was a mini-series. So imagine my surprise when I was shelving books at my local library - and found a book titled Pandora's clock! Turned out it was the book the mini-series was based on.
I couldn't resist, of course. So I borrowed it. And laughed out loud somewhere in the first 10 pages, because our female heroine spots this totally drool-worthy captain at the airport and can't tear her eyes from him. And... yes... she practically drooled. Which all makes perfect sense to me, because I've got this mental image of Captain Holland as portrayed by RDA. LOL
Seriously - they would've been hard pressed to find a better actor for the job. With the possible exception of Mark Harmon, who doesn't have the height, nor the build. And, seriously, I can so overlook the descriptions of Holland's wonderful blue eyes, because I love RDA's brown ones so much...
Yes, I'm a fan-girl. Please, put me out of my misery...
