It's been a cooking week

[fabrisse]

Monday night, I cooked a Valentine's Day dinner for moria923 and thorbol: Filets mignons in a brandy cream sauce, spinach with butter and nutmeg, noodles, and Cointreau chocolate mousse. The next big meal I'm cooking is at the end of the month: Duck with other, unspecified, stuff.

Last night, though, I took my payment from Valentine's day (filets and spinach, uncooked) and fixed them for me and eanja. We didn't have any brandy, so we had to make do with Southern Comfort, but I think it was all right.

The House of Flying Daggers wasn't as good as Hero. Maybe I've seen Casablanca too many times, but I would really have rather seen the final battle between the Chinese army and the Flying Daggers. Frankly, the problems of three little people didn't amount to a hill of beans in that crazy world.

Unlike many people, I even preferred Hero visually. Other than the echo sequence and the costumes, I just didn't find it that impressive.

ROTFLMAO. That is the most perfect review of HoFD, ever.

I agree 100% with your assessment. I thought the visuals of Hero much superior.

I couldn't wait for Hero to come out on DVD. This one...

The thing is, I wanted to like it. When the women in green come out in the forest, I thought, "Wow." Then the rest was so far down hill after that.
