Know what I miss? Having new episodes of The X-Files on Sunday nights, 9 pm. Can't say that I miss doing homework before the show came on, though.

Anybody else missing the television of their youth? ABC's TGIF line-up, for example (which was full of shows that I didn't actually watch, like Boy Meets World).

I spent a lot of time this week downloading more music that I didn't really need. This seems more justified if I share it with the world: then it's a public service, right? Seeing as it's Sunday, (and I've been feeling oddly nostalgic about high school lately anyway), here's a nod to the old-skool X-Phile fandom ( Read more... )

"Man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything."

Sometimes I'm late to the fandom party. Like, several years late. Most recent: Firefly.

Thanks to olivia_circe, I'm three episodes from the end. And then I can watch Serenity and finally be one of the cool kids ( Read more... )

Titanic is a bloody good movie, dammit. LeoissohotandKateissopretty and everyone dies -- even Theoden (but not Clementine and Horatio Hornblower) and it's so tragical omg. *sniff*Insomnia? I'd like you to meet 13-year-old Emily. Yeah, she's a bit weepy at the moment. And she'll be exhausted on this, her day off. But by the relentless synthesizers ( Read more... )

What did I accomplish with my week? Not a lot...but I made a shiny Moulin Rouge soundtrack. *geeks out* Thanks to newredshoes for her detective work on tracks ripped from the film, and for providing the original drive behind the project (although she didn't know it at the time).

Briefly, before I head to work:

New international GoF trailer. Holy crap, does this look awesome.

I can't seem to let it go, so here's the best Episode III recap since the "Backstroke of the West".

newredshoes and I continue doing what we do best: feeding each other's fandom obsessions. The latest is an Ewan McGregor/Moulin Rouge renaissance. This will ( Read more... )

• Han Solo: just as swoon-worthy now as when I was in 6th grade
• It's okay that I hadn't seen The Phantom Menace since it came out. I wasn't missing much.
• Miramax publicity lies: Brassed Off is not a frothy romantic comedy about adorable Ewan McGregor and miners. But it is a good movie, so there's that.
• While Frank Sinatra's performance in The Man With ( Read more... )

King Kong: Caught the trailer whilst channel surfing this evening -- absolutely perfect timing, just as the Universal logo came up. I had forgotten almost everything I ever knew about this movie; I remembered there would be ActionStar!Adrien Brody, and super-director PJ, of course, but SeriousActor!Jack Black, MovieStar!Naomi Watts, and secret ( Read more... )

On further reflection (and comparisons with the flist reactions), I think I've outgrown Star Wars.

I'm so sad.
