Snape, Snape, Severus Snape...

I never before realised just how much I missed the Harry Potter series.

Pirating is fun!  But ah, no-one said anything about anything illegal, right?  ;)  I'm totally talking of sitting in a little wooden boat in the middle of the ocean, waving the Jolly Roger and pillaging and stuff.

Evil cursed necklaces are the new couture, are they?  :|  That's an ugly piece of crap.

My priorities are skewed.  I should be memorising Kane quotes.  But I know enough to get by, I hope.  As for film techniques...

• Susan's meeting Kane ("I don't know many people." "I know too many people.  I guess we're both lonely.") and subsequent interactions, including the opening night of Salammbô!, showing that "everything was his idea."
• Leland and Kane's argument, post-election: Jed's observation that Kane wants "love on [his] terms", and that he "talks about the people as if they belong to [him]."  The first astute note of Kane's egotistic nature, and his instinct to buy people things (more specifically, to "make [the people] a gift of freedom").
• Mise-en-scènes, most notably when Jed gets fired ("He never finished anything except my review" -- a link to Xanadu -> completing his life) and when Thatcher visits Mary and Jim.

  Jed: You're still eating?
  Kane: I'm still hungry.
  Hungry for what?  Hungry for POWER!  (insert Over 9000 joke here)

  "You provide the prose, I'll provide the war."
  Everyone except Leland is wearing those funny Spanish hats, that I can't quite remember the name of.  The hats symbolise support, for the Spanish-American War that (according to the movie) was started by Kane for his own needs.
  
• The Breakfast Montage.

Those 6 should be enough.

My ass is numb.  That's what I get for leaving my donkey tied up somewhere for long periods of time...

No, but really.  I should move.

::shifts::  I should probably study, too.  ::stretches to reach notes, fails::  Eh.  ::abandons Quest::

Ben, shut up.  :(  I'm trying to watch my movie.

And my Volume Mixer has died, again.  Ffs.  I may need to reinstall drivers.  Bri, help?  :\

Anyway, back to my movie.  Ben's downloaded The Lion King, so...  ::awaits for the incessant, inevitable spouting of quotes::

Goodnight.
