Basilisk Sense of Smell/Jason Isaacs

[ravenclaw775 at aol.com]

I don't know if this was covered already, but to the person who complained 
about the basilisk being able to smell, I'm with you, but for a different 
reason.  Snakes smell with their tongues - they taste the air.  At first, the 
basilisk never showed its tongue, so that made sense to me.  Unfortunately at 
the very end of the battle, the basilisk begins hissing and whipping with its 
tongue. It's a bit scary, but it made me wonder - the darn thing's taking 
scent as all snakes do - with its tongue.  Why didn't they think of that?

All in all, I liked the look of the movie, but didn't get the same spirit 
from this one as from the first movie.  Will join in the bravos for Jason 
Isaacs - I've been a fan since the Patriot.  He's a great villian (and not so 
bad in Black Hawk Down - and in a tiny part - Windtalkers). However, only 
true fans should watch Sweet November.  Are you ready for Loo-see-us in drag 
(a nice sparkly, form-fitting number, if I remember correctly)?  If you are, 
by all means....rent it.
