oloriel: (for delirium was once delight)

Visited Jörg's mom today. We ate tasty spring rolls (she makes them herself!) and watched the last hour of the Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition. I think we got her hooked - at least she asked us to bring the sequel when we next visit her.
Afterwards, we saw that Amadeus was running on ARD, so we watched that. It was... highly amusing (aside from the fact that I could have slapped Mozart whenever he laughed. Good grief, what a horrible sound). Except that my little obsessed brain was reminded of one of [livejournal.com profile] applegnat's Vain Songs episodes (where Rúmil is, um, really pissed off because whatever he touches, Fëanáro made it). Which made the film all the more hilarious. We had to watch it in Music class in grade 7 or so and I hated it then (... because of the laugh. Some things never change...), but it was really rather enjoyable. I loved Salieri's death glares.
Strange, however, that they didn't dub the English opera pieces. The Italian must be Italian, of course; But hearing the Magic Flute in English was... ODD. (Especially after having been dragged to see it performed in the original German four times back when I was a kid.)

In other news, I made a huge post of recent scans in [livejournal.com profile] livingshapes. I'm currently having so many projects and ideas at once that it's driving me insane very distracting.
