Yo no se

Ok, anyone out there seen Kaena: The Prophesy? I know nothing of this, except for an ad in the paper, and the 4% at RottenTomatoes.com, which ain't exactly encouraging. . .

It has voice work by Kirsten Dunst and Anjelica Huston, which should be a good sign. But experience has taught me that heavily-symbolic Japanese SF just doesn't translate well. Where "experience" means "watching Akira and Final Fantasy," among others. So, um, maybe I'll give this one a pass.

I'm sure it looks gorgeous, though.

So did Avalon. But that one might'a made more sense to the role-playing types.

Basically, I'm willing to chalk my lack of comprehension/enjoyment up to ignorance. 'tis also why there's not much with the updates around here lately.

I want to see *both*!

But then, I guess I'm one of those Role Playing Types. I never understand anything, though. So, not understanding fantasy movies doesn't effect me any differently than not understanding how to walk from the kitchen to room I'm sitting in now.

It's all relative, I guess. The stronger your grip on reality, the harder it is to grasp stuff that isn't there.

Which isn't true at all, or I'd believe that there were goddesses and gods and faeries and demons watching over us. Except the demons part, that part I believe in, only because I've *seen* them and they are watching me very, very closely.

Am I making sense yet?

Love,

Hanna

(Will you come over and take me to see the movies, pretty please?

Actually, Kaena is a French movie.
