(no subject)
The Oscars are tonight! And...I don't actually care very much because I've only seen one and a half of the movies: The Imitation Game, which was fine, I guess? I liked the performances by Benesmirk Cumberbritish and Keira Knightley, and the story of Turing's life is very interesting (but from what I understand, this film is a highly fictionalized version of it), but the movie itself felt like a very by-the-numbers biopic to me. The half movie I saw was The Grand Budapest Hotel, which I started watching one night on HBO, until I fell asleep after about forty minutes. The art direction is beautiful! Otherwise, I thought it was a good movie to sleep to. Apparently, I just don't get Wes Anderson.
It seems like all of my TV shows are ending - Parks and Recreation, Justified, Cougar Town, Mad Men, Glee. That is, I stopped watching Glee several seasons ago, but now that it's ending and Fox is basically burning off the final episodes on Friday nights at 9:00, when there is nothing else on TV, I've sort of been watching just to see how it wraps up, and I have to say, it's dying as it lived: sometimes touching, sometimes offensive, occasionally entertaining, and often completely nonsensical.
Parks & Rec and Justified are the two I'm really going to miss, especially P&R which has become essential comfort food TV for me. As for Justified, what I'd most like to see right now is for [Spoiler (click to open)]Ava to make it out of the season alive, but I'm not convinced that that's going to happen.
On a different subject, I've read the spoilers for the latest issue of the Buffy comic, and...huh. I feel like I would have had some passionate opinions about this turn of events a few years ago, but now all I can come up with is...huh.
(Whee! I made a post! I'm so proud!)
