Shadows and Tall Trees
My father has sold his house. He has to be out before christmas, so he will be living up in Murry Bridge for a little while. Mum wants to move after christmas so that she can finally break up with the bloody landlord. Well, that's not the main reason - She can't afford the rent he's charging. But that will be a sideaffect which I will be delighted to hear about.
I saw the second Harry Potter movie yesterday. Thought Malfoy senior looked damn cool thunkya very much. Reminded me of something mentioned in 'Good Omens' (An excellent book if you haven't read it) - Angel wings were no diferent from those of fallen angels, except that fallen angels wings were neater. I suppose it depends on who the movie/book is aimed at, but it seems that the neat, pollished and well groomed man (Or woman I suppose, but it seems to be a man) in the dress suit is the bad guy while the sort of scruffy one is the good guy. And the one with the damn sexy voice is the evil one.
I think it has something to do with the accent, or possibly it's just the move of speach, But a lot of bad guys have a similar sound to their voices. I think the best example is Scar from the lion king. I always thought he had the most gorgeous voice, and I started noticing where it came up again. Tim Curry has a somewhat similar accent, I think, which I noticed while watching The Three Musketeers (Which reminds me, I want to find out the name of the actor who played the guy in black with the eye-patch. Now THAT is a sexy voice.), although the character he played didn't sound quite so layed back most of the time. Shadow from Sonic Adventure 2 also has a similar voice (In English) I noticed. Which I personally thingk suits him, by the by. In any case, Could it be the accent? Or just a particular speach pattern that affects the words a certain way. I know the pitch has something to do with it, that's for certain.
Alright, let's leave those mussings behind.
