My new obsession is you.

While I knew from the novel that Hook had been to public school, I did not know which one. But reading the play, I found that his last words were Floreat Etona. And indeed, here he is on a list of Fictional Old Etonians.

These are the Eton arms. I'm sure this is Hook's tattoo.

I could only see "ER" on his other arm -- "Mother" perhaps?

And another good bit from the play, in the stage directions:

There is a touch of the feminine in Hook, as in all the greatest pirates...

I saw this movie last week, I saw it yesterday, I saw it today, and there is a pretty fair chance I will see it tomorrow. I am entranced.

It's odd, though. I do not plan to write any fanfic for this film. But now I want to be all fannish about it and I'm not sure what else to do! Rave in LJ, I suppose. :)

Dude. Hook at Eton. There's fanfic in that, even if it only exists in our minds.

Completely. :) Of course Hook isn't his real name. Do you think it was bullying that made him turn to piracy?

And now I'm thinking of Flashman at Rugby and wondering if we can fudge the dates to make them meet at a cricket match or some such.
