I am filled with lust for fake people
Went to see Tristan and Isolde today with ratherbrightred who was very tolerant of my ranting on the car ride over regarding my general disgruntlement with The Boyfriend Who Will Not Clean. I must say that I suspect that historical inaccuracy was rampant in the film, but then what do I know as *I'm* historically innacurate. Overall, it was OK. Not a waste of my life and My, my how that James Franco smolders! [/lustful] But then there's little I enjoy more in a fiction than a shit-load of longing gazes (although choreographed dancing is a close second). Ahem. Also, James Franco is exactly the kind of lithe pretty boy that I like to think about licking. Moreover, he has the talent to hold a single tear just under his eye for seemingly endless amounts of time. That's not a spoiler--it's totally in the preview!
I'm enjoying it so far BUT I feel like they have dealt with the diegetic time gap between Season 2 and 3 very clumsily. Suddenly everyone is in completely different psychological/situational places and we totally missed the development. It feels kind of like lazy writing. And it's confusing. For example, I like seeing Shane opening up in a relationship, really I do, but I feel cheated out of all of this character development that got such a closed off character from A to friggin' Z. Oh, and I still ship Jenny/Shane. Ha. Although I admit to the hotness of Shane/Carmen. Like, woah.
Also, it is SO weird to see Shane in a dress. So weird. And KM is doing a really good job making us feel Shane's discomfort. Plus, I like seeing how Carmen gets all playful teasing like she might almost top Shane. But then, as anyone who's ever heard me talk about my not so sekrit Spike-topping-Angel fetish or Buffy-fucking-Spike-with-a-strap-on fetish knows, I REALLY like when a switcheroo happens in sexual dynamics. Mmmmmmm. Tasty.
I do not like how Alice has turned into this psychopath. Bleh. I mean, breaking up can make us crazy but this is just over the top.
I'm intrigued by Jenny still and the trip cross country makes me so nervous all of the time like something terrible (hate crime) is about to happen at any given moment. But that's meaningful for the show.
Basically, things seem disjointed right now---the group I mean. But maybe that's on purpose.[/end babble]
Oh, and have I mentioned recently how Kate Moennig makes me weak in the knees? 'Cause it's still true.
I am resolutely NOT doing any more cleaning jobs that hommenerd said he would do. [Note how with fictional lust objects the dishes are not an issue, unlike certain RL lust objects who, despite their increasingly defined six pack abs, on occasion make me want to tear my hair out.] Instead, I am watching frigging TV and chilling. This was my plan last night but I had forgotten that I had to go and see my friend play in his stoney, stoney band (yes, kittyzams the same boy of gift certificate fame).
Cryptic side note: Anonymous memes make me want to plug my fingers in my ears and hum so loudly that I can't hear the hate. Why, I say, Why? Dear flist, I love you for cushioning my world from the Dark Side of Fandom.
Tomorrow there will be taxes and financial aid forms and film theory but hopefully also fanfic production.
