nigeltde: if trixie could just think hard enough she would undo everything (don't go there girlfriend)
[personal profile] nigeltde
Have been reading Ian McEwan's Enduring Love over the last couple of weeks. Eh, I expected more from it. I'm so over this successful, highly-educated Gary Stu crap where something extraordinary happens and then they spend the whole book self-indulgently freaking out, and their perfect, long-suffering girlfriends/wives have to work around it (Umberto Eco, I would be looking at you, but Name of the Rose gives you a standing pardon. Don't abuse it). YAWN. I thought McEwan really bungled the religion/science thing too and it epecially shits me that in the end his perfect hetero life is restored, untouched by any sign of teh scary gay. And the biggest problem of course is that it was just kind of boring and linear and obvious. No surprises anywhere.

However, the movie has Daniel Craig, Samantha Morton, and Rhys Ifans, all of whom are smoking hot, so I would be willing to check it out. Anyone seen it?
