I've been rather avoiding Elizabeth, since I can't stand that they jazzed up what was already exciting history... but I might watch it now just to oogle him.

*Elizabeth* had me livid with rage. Even when I tried to make it into alternate history, I kept thinking that the fantasy Elizabeth was Too Dumb To Live. Seriously. She was stupider than the historical Mary, Queen of Scots, which is saying something. In the real Tudor England? Dead by age 13.

On the other hand, yes, I certainly did remember Eccleston as Norfolk.

Elizabeth was on after we watched the Season finale of 10 the other night and I think I irritated kirbyfest with my snarking about it, because I JUST CAN'T STOP MYSELF.

Stabbity. Stabbity. The screenwriter must die. Stabbity.

Eccleston had his snob on really well in it, though. It was amusing in contrast to the totally wet Fiennes.

The director must die, stabbity stabbity, as well. He saw the costumer sitting down with her reference books and told them to put them away, as he didn't want her to be handicapped by what people actually wore.

The costumes, as it happens, are swoonily beautiful, but what kind of idiot makes a historical movie and insists that history Are Bad? Well... the kind of idiot who conflates Marie of Guise and her daughter, Mary, Queen of Scots, for one.

Somebody needs to make a *Norfolk* movie just for me, and Eccleston can stalk around and look evil and dangerous. and possibly shag

Was it just me or was his interaction with Lady "Duke of Norfolk's Fuck-toy" totally non-hot, though? He seemed to dislike her.

Did he like *anybody* in that movie? I have blocked out the lady in question, but I can easily believe that the whole thing was rather wooden.

The FUCK? Parts of my brain just exploded. The parts that got me the History degree and were part of the competition costuming crowd for 15 years, I think.
