Ugh, I hate you abominable cold!

In other news, I watched The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec

And it was as wonderfully cracky and ridiculous as the trailer made it seem.  Louise Bourgoin as Adele is stunning, hilarious and badass (she rides an mother-frakking Pterodactyl people!).  Adele is like Evie from The Mummy movies only bitchy and French, or like Lara Croft if she was kinda goofy, bitchy and French, which is to say that Adele Blanc-Sec is sexy, awesome, smart, kick-ass, bitchy and French.  Also, Adele's Morgause-esque dedication and inappropriate love for her twin sister Agathe definitely endeared her to me.    

Anyway, if the trailer and/or shallow review tickled your fancy ... you can get it here!

OMG that movie looks like so much fun! I ALMOST downloaded the comics once, but I can't read French, so I couldn't. It makes me think of a girlie, French version of The Mummy. :D

The movie is really fun. It's ridiculous, but it's fun. And Adele definitely has an Evie vibe to her, but most of the movie doesn't actually take place in Egypt (I would have loved it if it did though, that portion of the film was great and easy my favorite - other than the Adele attempts to break someone out of prison scenes which cracked me up).

Again, the movie is ridiculous, but as long as you are prepared for it to be completely cracked out, you should enjoy it!
