Lord of the Rings, Veronica Mars, Condor Heroes etc hodge-podge

[dangermousie]

Finished ep 3 of Return of the Condor Heroes. crumpeteer is right, that kid was incredibly annoying. But I don't particularly care as now he is grown-up and incredibly beefcakey. Moral of the story? Be kind to stray children for they will grow into prime rib :P

YESSSSSSSSS!

I have to warn: most of the five year storylines only really start going at the end of s1 (the last 7 or so eps).

I just re-watched the LOTR movies o_O. I did finish to rewatch Rotk tuesday ^^. Ah ah! I'm looking forward your future posts then ^^. I love love that part with Eowyn and Faramir that they put in the extended version. And everytime I watch those movies, I miss Viggo. Don't ask why, I just do ^^.

Anyway, best trilogy ever with Indiana Jones XD.

[dangermousie]

I have a confession: I don't like Indiana Jones at all :) I don't hate it or anything, but I am always so bored. Got it for Mr. Mousie as a present though because he likes it :)

No angst so far, which is disappointing. I neeeeeeeed hot people angst.

Give it time. No matter how light it may start off, I have yet to see one that didn't dwell in a deep pit of angst for at least a little while. Besides, you already know he gets put in chains at some point...

Also, Aragorn? Hottest, most awesome movie hero ever. Yeah. Not that I don’t adore the hobbits or Legolas or Faramir or Eomer but you know. Girl’s got her priorities.

And Boromir. Boromir is hot. (Boromir is Sean Bean and thus incapable of not being hot) But yes, Aragorn is the hottest.

Also, I realized that while I watched and loved Buffy I never really watched Angel even though Best Friend was a huge fan and she is a good indicator of what I’d like. Should I give it a try?

I *hem* actually like Angel better than Buffy(the first 3 seasons at least) But then, late s2-early s3 Angel was my intro to rgw franchise, so I'm biased.

Also, people have been going back and forth about VM’s last night ep being a series finale with no closure. Some (like me

You have an excellent point.

Re: Sean Bean. Funnily, when we first heard the movie was going to be made, me and Best Friend cast SB as Aragorn in fantasy casting (we were thinking Sharpe).

Re: VM. I am too lazy to do a recap. TWOP should have a nice long one though :)

I meam Gentle Crackdown had it's angstfest, and that thing was just pure comedy crack...if THAT has it's angst period, imagine what a show about forbidden love will have...

*points to icon and taunts with icon post she'll make later tonight*

Sean Bean...I SO need to see the Sharpe movies...were you like me in Troy and wishing it was about Odysseus instead of Achilles(esp since you can hear Brad Pitt thinking "deep manly voice" the whole time)

[dangermousie]

Eeeee! Icon!

Brad Pitt was yummy in Troy but that whole movie was awful.

Oh, and angst just hit in RoCH

[lenabean]

I don't think I got very far when I watched ROTCH. It seemed like it would be The Perfect Drama, since it was SO Beautiful, but then...something about the characters didn't appeal. I think the acting left something to be desired. Or something. Alas that the pretty could not hold my attention.

Will keep tabs on your LJ to see if it ever gets addictive. :P

The first tree eps (and a bit of 4th) required a bit of perseverance but now I am really loving it because it has hot people angst ;)

[lenabean]

Ahahahah, angst helps everything along

[dangermousie]

I have only watched first ep af BL and it is awesome. I am going to wait to watch more until more eps are subbed though.

[lenabean]

PS: Aragorn was hot and The Perfect Hero. Am still ambivalent about his Hero Swagger, though. Aragorn is my Manly Hero, and Legolas is my Pretty Hero. Ahahaha, yes.

And I had a soft spot for Boromir, and then they character assassinated him. Woe.

[dangermousie]

Aragorn and Legolas made Two Towers my fave of the trilogy :)

[lenabean]

Are you talking about that scene where Aragorn falls off a cliff and then LIVES and then they stare soulfully into each other's eyes and Legolas gives Aragorn the NECKLACE that he kept safe for him? Because that was The Scene that defined their relationship to me. *mad fangirly glee*

[dangermousie]

Oh YES.

Love it.

Or when they fight in the armory, and he puts on his armor.
