oudeteronI totally forgot to post about it, but if you recall my previous entry about the British Museum's Hadrian exhibition...
They've put up the Antinous video! WATCH IT - the whole thing ends tomorrow! Come on, it's just three minutes.

ETA: Why do I look at pictures of the water surfaces at Hadrian's villa and imagine how they could have been for swimming. I HAVE A PROBLEM.

And the exhibition is over by tomorrow. I'm totally envious of people who were able to see it.

Indeed. Look at the statutes they're talking about in the videos. I want to draw them so much!

on 2008-10-25 05:38 pm (UTC)I fear that's the more probable case, yeah. But then they don't know what they're missing.
I'd like to see whatever you come up with! Ah, inspiring art...

on 2008-10-25 05:50 pm (UTC)I really should have a try. After all, I'm supposed to be able to reproduce any kind of art...
no subject
on 2008-10-25 05:56 pm (UTC)There's no pressure... XD

on 2008-10-25 06:22 pm (UTC)I know - it's just... I think I've got a crush now on Antinous. OH MY. XD
no subject
on 2008-10-25 06:30 pm (UTC)Oh, I get it! XD
no subject
on 2008-10-25 06:36 pm (UTC)I'm fearing about the actor who's going to play the part of Antinous, though. Do you know of there's a definite cast yet? I can't seem to find teh right information for the film so far.

on 2008-10-25 06:38 pm (UTC)I'm a bit worried he might look too old for him already. But hey, if it's not some awful sanitized "adaptation" again, I'm willing to overlook things...
no subject
on 2008-10-25 06:42 pm (UTC)This is precisely why I fear about the film. Being politically correct. Again.

no subject
on 2008-10-25 06:19 pm (UTC)Memoirs of Hadrian! There's a story for you. *nudge nudge*
