This is fucking stupid. Another example of "they're just smokers, harshing their craptastic habit is good for them." As usual, the air and the water is filled with carcinogenic blugh, but as soon as someone lights a ciggy, they're INFLICTING CANCER ON INNOCENT GRADE SCHOOLERS and setting off worse asthma attacks than say, being stuck on public transit next to people wearing tons of perfume, which is just cool with everyone.

I've seen what barristas at Starbucks have to go through and frankly if they want to spend short breaks outside smoking cigs, smoking weed, throwing gookies while doing jumping jacks and singing O Canada, it's cool by me. It's just inordinately cruel that the same company that'd put its employees through "frappucino happy hour" and hours of Christmas music, would deny them the ability to light up vaguely outside their work.

And now... LADYHAWKE! John Hughes' 1985 classic of a football captain and a cheerleader assigned to different detention rooms! Uh, wait.

The production designer's name is WOLF KROEGER. This is like the name a commanding officer would have in an Indiana Jones movie.

ONE TUESDAY HE WOKE UP AND IT WAS THE MIDDLE AGES. #Hangings #Castles #GregorianChants #Arrr

M'lord! Need we have to interrupt thy Medievally stuff with this Medievally stuff of mickle portance, in the name of St.Guy of Anderlecht.

Philippe is tracked by wolves in the cold wastes! Until he wanders into a sepulchre of ancient Kings, swords gleaming 'crost bony knees!

Message for you Sir! #InevitableMontyPythonReference, only 15 minutes into the film!

<= CAMELOT CERTAIN DEATH => Second inevitable #MontyPythonReference #Ladyhawke

We've got some lovely filth down here. Oooh, how d'ye... naw. I can't keep doing it. It's just too obvious. #Ladyhawke

And that's when Etienne reaches into his saddlebags to find photos of Zora, Pris, and L... I can't go thru with it, too obvious. #Ladyhawke

He finds the Captain gone but wearing his cloak is a beautiful woman, so Etienne has truly mastered the art of crossdressing. #Ladyhawke

"She had blue eyes like an angel. She spoke and her voice was the beautiful squawk of a passerine bird!" #Ladyhawke

"Her name is Isabeau de Dou. Her father was the Comte Whoop de Dou, an intemperate fella, who died ... at Antioch." #Ladyhawke

"Until they were betrayed. A young Franciscan, a pupil of mine before he turned to evil... wait, which movie were we in again?" #Ladyhawke

"One day in a drunken confession... he committed a mortal sin." Isn't showing up hammered to confession religiously iffy anyway? #Ladyhawke

And then the sun rises, transforming Isabeau to a hawk and the pursuing trolls into stone, just in time! #Ladyhawke

"You think I'm drunk?" he protested, exhaling a blast of 40 proof breath square into Etienne's face. #Ladyhawk #YeahBeenThere

Thumpy dance hits of the 1240s like "Trippe Thee Like Unto Me," "Tainted Courtly Love," and "Sweete Dreames be Made of These" #Ladyhawke

Then they all kinda stumble around the woods at night during a thunderstorm without any points in Survival or Knowledge (Nature). #Ladyhawke

"Where's my knife? I just had it a moment ago." "In FLAVOR COUNTRY!" #DavidWhereAreMyCigarettes #Ladyhawke

They have all these growly wolf noises and Michelle Pfeiffer's convincingly panicked and their wolf "actor" looks pretty happy. #Ladyhawke

He's also white around the muzzle in a way which suggests that he's an older wolf than Rutger Hauer is a human, in 1985. #Ladyhawke

"Do you like our hawk?""It's artificial?""Must be expensive.""Very. I'm Rachel."'Deckerd." #TooBloodyObvious #Eyes #JustEyes #Ladyhawke

AND THEN ON THURSDAY IT WAS STILL THE MIDDLE AGES. #Ladyhawk

And now almost the coolest piece of heroic fantasy ever filmed. RIDING A DESTRIER THROUGH A CATHEDRAL DURING SERVICES. #Awesome #Ladyhawke

Then Etienne takes the bloodied crown from the corpse and sets it on his own head, usurping the throne of Aquila! #Made10thLevel #Ladyhawke

Anyone who doesn't squee over the horses in this movie has never been a 12 year old girl.
