I didn't even realize I had not one but two Charlton Heston icons...
And speaking of elaborately costumed films, here's an AWESOME vid by
ferdalump set to
Strip by Adam Ant, focusing on romantic/costume films/TV shows, with something like 60 sources.
OMG, it's an
Iron Man!Cyberman.
For the Disney fans, a
Haunted Mansion home office!!
Here's an interesting discussion on
copperbadge's LJ about
who your "entry character" is for Torchwood. Some people feel that it's Gwen, others Jack, and for some it's Ianto.
John Adams in bullet points!
- I love Jefferson's shiny, silky French clothes that he wore when visiting John and Abigail. And the way he leaned his head against the side of the chair. I loved that whole scene. "It is a natural manure." Thank you, Tom. And his dark outfit when Washington was yelling at him, nice.
- John's double take when Smith professed his love of his daughter was also very amusing. He vetoed the marriage, hee!
- AND RUFUS SEWELL!! He makes a fabulous Alexander Hamilton!
- Oh dear, when John Quincy gave Charles the $2000, I knew that was probably the last he'd ever see of that money. :-\
- On Congress. Some things never change.
- Who is the poofy wigged guy that keeps giving John the low-down skinny?
- Washington and Jefferson as they sat on either side of Adams while he speechified looked just like they do on money, don't you think?
- "Really, John, such shenanigans!" Even Abigail calls shenanigans.
Is this miniseries going by really fast for anyone else? I can't believe we only get two more! I really have to hand it to TPTB for not dragging things on and for breathing such life into this part of our history.
All I have to say about NCIS is blargh, not that same woman I already didn't like on Journeyman! I was hoping I didn't have to see her anymore, but I guess it was wishful thinking. :-\ I guess it's too much to ask for her not to pop up on NCIS again. ::sigh:: The other guest star, Kevin Rankin, as the druggie, was a welcome surprise, however. And Tony was awesome as usual, possibly even a little more awesome than usual. And Ziva was doing a lot of crawling around on the ground, huh. Boy am I glad this show is back, despite all the not-happy-making spoilers for future episodes that have been floating around. Oh, and what exactly does more creatine (or whatever it was Abby found in her analysis, I've forgotten) in your system mean for Madame Director?
Taking a few steps back to Numb3rs last week, all I have to say about that is ROSCOE'S CHICKEN 'N WAFFLES!! My brother goes there often enough, but I've never been. I'm not much for breakfast food from out. If I want waffles or fried chicken, I'll usually prefer to make my own, but since Roscoe's is sort of an LA institution, I guess as a native it would only be right for me to try it once. Moving past waffles, I really liked this episode, though it was unsettling how Don was so insistent on bending the law to catch these guys. Every Colby scene was great, too, especially those with David and Charlie. How is it you have chemistry with everyone, Colby? And like NCIS, they seem to be leading slowly into the exits soon to come.
And I actually don't have much to say about last week's CSI. Just this:
1) What a coincidence that Gil, Nick and Greg would be the only sickies. I wonder how in the world that could have happened... ^_^ Even my mother saw at least the Nick/Greg in that situation...
2) Nick sneezed on Hodges. Usually the formula is Hodges saying something smart alecky or TMI (though not TMI to me!), then the CSI brushes him off or looks at him strangely or gives a put-down, but I found it interesting that Hodges got the last word here.
ETA: NO WAIT! I do have something more to say. Or two more somethings:
1) BRASS. You are awesome, and we need more Brass-centric episodes, don't you think?
2) Did anyone recognize that the DA lady is Holly, the sometimes wife of John McClane in the Die Hard films?
My brother decided to take a spontaneous overnight trip to Las Vegas with his friends. I don't know if I could ever be that spontaneous. My version of spontaneous is making a gif of Spencer Smith, whose eyebrows could conquer worlds or at least medium-sized villages:
If I don't eat something, I'm going to fall out. ::wanders off::
