miranda otto

[lobelia321]

I just saw The Dead Letter Office. What a sweet little film! And sad.

Miranda can act!!

So can her dad! Barry Otto! (Who plays her dad in the film, hua hua.) I know him, too! He's quite famous in Australia; I'm sure I've seen him in all sorts.

Then I lay in a stupour on the sofa, randomly hitting buttons on the POTC-DVD remote. The Commodore grows on me the more I see him. And as he was already quite firmly attached to me, the situation has now reached barnacle stage.

I am so bored with marking. If only every student would write me a First... That would make everybody happy. Firsts are the only essays I can stomach. (To all you non-UK people: it's the top grade you can get at British unis.) But I dutifully plough through the rest, fixing up semi-colons, querying compliments (knowing they mean complement), noting absent references and generally feeling 58 times worse than a badfic!beta.

And plagiarism!! Well, that is simply below the belt.



Yes, I know you clicked, expecting more stuff but I just instated that lj-cut in order to inject the colour blue into my post.

But here, have a marquee:

;-p

I'm glad Miranda was good in that. I'm so not a movie person (which makes all this fandom stuff even odder. oh well.)

I quite liked Miranda in True Love and Chaos, too -- which also features Hugo Weaving singing Leonard Cohen songs. He sings better than Miranda does (and if you were taken aback by the Rohan Funeral Song, just wait 'til you hear 'Union City Blue').
