The Eagle has LANDED?!

I saw Tron: Legacy today. This post is not about Tron: Legacy. This post is about The Eagle. When I was finding my way to my theater, I saw this larger, friendly poster for a movie called The Eagle. First I saw Romans. "Yay, Romans!" Then I saw Channing Tatum. "Yay, Channing Tatum!" Then I saw Jamie Bell. "OMFJAM JAMIE BELL!!!!" Connor gave it The Eye and we went to Tron: Legacy. Then God smiled on me and gave me the trailer for The Eagle before Tron started. Here is the trailer and my thought-commentary moment by moment:



"Dude, it's that movie!"
"Dude, Romans."
"Duuuude, Channing Tatum."
"Dude, Hadrian's Wall!"
"OMFJAM JAMIE BELL!"
"DUDE SLAVES! AND ROMANS!"
"DUDE BETRAYALS!"
"DUDE JAMIE BELL AND CELTS!"
"LOL SLAVES!"
"Chariooooooooots!"

As you can see, I am not exactly the most discerning of viewers. But oh babies, if the world has any goodness, that movie will be awesome and I will heart it. That trailer has pretty much everything I want in a story: pretty boys, fake!history (not to be confused with real!history or just plain History), horses, military, FRIENDS, conflicting loyalties, slavery, betrayal. The only thing it's missing is witty banter. But I didn't see any skanky girls (their absence is a plus, yes), and the witty banter might be hidden.

Ahem.

I mean, I was watching that trailier, and it was lovely, and then I REALIZED that Jamie Bell is Griffin (from Jumper), and my mind exploded, and now I want that movie, tomorrow, plz?

This is the one based on the Rosemary Sutcliffe book, no? Did anyone else have to read that in homeschool? *raises hand*

I remember very little of it, regrettably. I shall have to revisit it.

Snazel: Yep. He's in a lot of stuff and he's always jolly. :DDD

PCB: Duuuude really? I haven't read her cuz I'm a loser (she's already on my list though! *points*). That's cool!

Oh yes yes, read Sutcliffe! I love this book and all of her books, really. And I am excited for this movie. I like Jamie Bell, I like Donald Sutherland, and I like Romans-in-Britain movies. :B
