Just finished writing up the little dream ficlet I was working on in France, I think it would fit in nicely as an interlude to Engraven. It helps to set the scene a bit for their relationship in Chronicles.

The thing is that I'd like to write a little fic about the two running into some fake clerics, I read somewhere about the 'Fraud of Lemish', whoever that was, it could be worth checking out. I'll look around on the Internet and if all fails I'll ask Dalamar Nightson and Miqael.

Whatever happens, it's going to be short. As I've said, I don't want to get bogged down and for people to think I'm not going to do Chronicles. Maybe slip in 'Unexpected' with its little smutty prequel.

Hopefully will have Engraven 4.5 back before my beta goes off (wherever sh's going, there isn't going to be any internet access. Poor her. Oh well, if she keeps up the roll and sends it back tomorrow we'll all be happy.

Father into your hands I commend my spirit...

Finally managed to track down the film (the biggest obstacle being getting off my arse to do so), and watched it this evening. What can I say?

It teetered between being a comedy, a fantasy spoof, an romance and an action movie, and succeeded in all four. It had me howling with laugher at all the ridiculous quips and cliche' mockeries, yet some scenes really packed a punch.
The best example of this is when the spaniard is fighting the man who killed his father; he'd finally disarmed him and the evil guy is begging for his life, offering the spaniard anything.
-Anything I ask for?
-Anything you want!
*He runs him through* -I want my father back you son of a bitch.

That whiole speech, the expressions and the way it was delivered was perfect. It wasn't funny, but it was marvelously effective.

The only grubbing point is the role of Buttercup, she doesn't seem to do anything other than stand around and try to kill herself; admittedly she did try and swim for it in the first few scenes, but still, all the managed to do was annoy pro-lifers.

Loved the ending, the bad guy is still breathing, but the heroes still ride off into the sunset. Definitly original.

Also including the most original ressurection scene ever seen, -Hello! Is anybody in there!- Hilarious.

And if anyone says it was a crap film, well, what can I say?
-Inconcivable!
