Random Romance

I've collected about 20-30 Spock/Uhura icons from the new star trek film. I haven't used any yet but I uploaded one onto my Livejournal. After Spock loses his planet and his mother Uhura accosts him in the elevator. She kisses him all over his face but most of the caps are of this very tender, soft looking kiss. That kiss went straight to my heart. The rest of the time I was as weirded out as the rest of the crew. LOL!


I watched Beauty and the Beast the other night with Chatchienne. Oh what a beautifully romantic film. This film is the true, fine wine form of Gothic. As Chat said, the way the Beast says - Ma Bette... and the way Avenant says - Belle and the way Belle calls over and over again for - ma Bete! Oh so romantic. <3

I've been reading Idylls of the King by Tennyson and I've got to say that the story of Vivian seducing Merlin is one of the most depressing ever.

First off I just didn't want to see Merlin humiliated like that. I think of Merlin as this all powerful meddler in events, shaper of eras, creator of kings. I didn't want some evil chick from King Arthur's court to sit on his lap, whisper in his ear and steal his magic from him. I just didn't want to see him made such a thorough fool of.

I guess this reveals that deep down Merlin was very lonely and longed for love in his old age and to be seen as a man. It comforted me when Tennyson described Vivian as a fairie. It's not as bad for Merlin to be fooled by a cruel fairie as just a regular woman. Then again part of me really likes Vivian. She's sort of a female Iago. She has no aim in ruining everyone's lives - no goal. She's just doing it because it delights her.

I'm going to imagine that Merlin at least got a wonderful goodnight kiss. Even the woods whispered "fool" as the spell settled on the wizard and he drifted off to sleep.

I watched Terminator on Saturday and I loved the chemistry between Blair Williams and Marcus Wright. Some people on line complained that there was no sex but I liked that. I liked the innocence of warming by the fire together. It was fun to see this hard warrior woman melt in his arms and listen to his heartbeat. I loved it. <3 In the end she fought for him and when pressed his forehead to hers... it was better than a kiss.
