Elizabeth Mitchelllll/Lost/Santa Clause deux/Glenn Close = iguana

I decided to start watching Lost again. I just finished season 2. Actually, that's false, I just started season three. I was pretty anxious to get there as fast as humanly possible. I remember after I ditched it during season 2 I saw Elizabeth Mitchell at the Golden Globes and I was like, when did she get a show? And when I (quickly) found out she was on Lost, I was really pissed off that I stopped watching, because I knew she was the perfect thing for it, and mostly just because I totally missed the opportunity to see Elizabeth Mitchell on a show I watched (and I knew even then that I would inevitably fangirl her more once I saw her on the show). In my defense, the episode that inspired me to stop watching is pretty much one of the most depressing, misunderstandingy ones ever. But still. I always knew I would have to catch up eventually, and I decided now would be the time because A) I couldn't possibly miss Reiko Aylesworth's arc and B) I've gotten so low on stuff to watch that I've turned into a huge bitch and started getting really critical of every show I watch. Which really sucked, because I kind of had that alone-crazy thing going on, and that never leads to the good place. So I'm happy to have something to keep me busy. The decline of humanity can go unaddressed for a few more months. I have a pretty good selection of super-acceptable shows to watch for the time being.

So, Elizabeth Mitchell? Her eyes scare the hell out of me. With good reason, I think. Anytime she looks at someone intently I think there's a pretty good chance that she's completely penetrated their soul. Which is why she's perfect at playing characters who are supposed to reach people (by means of intense staring, obviously). Which she ALWAYS does. Looking back, I didn't really like her on ER, being the Kerry/Sandy shipper that I was, and because Kim's function was really just for Kerry to catch on to how much of a lesbian she was and move on to a new stage of her lesbiany life. They were cute in an overly dramatic way, though. I'm thinking about rewatching those episodes. Anyway, she was kind of just awkward and baffling on House, so...let's put that in its own category. But The Santa Clause 2? Oh, my god. I totally watched that movie for Wendy Crewson (Wendy Crewson/Neil FOR. EV. ER.) and I didn't even see it coming. What an awesome bitch, guys. Santa/Principal Newman FOR THE WIN. They are the most perfect OTP. EVER.

Principal Newman: Mr. Picardo, I want you to look into my eyes. What do you see?
Picardo: It's dark...and it's cold.

HE IS SO RIGHT, ISN'T HE? Also, lmfao, one of the many hilarious moments that makes that movie completely and utterly awesome. (Although nothing will ever beat watching Tim Allen get pulled down the stairs by a toaster in backwards slow motion. Trust me.) It is obviously the best of the trilogy. The first one is just ridiculous, and...I didn't care enough to see the third one, but if it's not about Santa Claus seducing Elizabeth Mitchell, obviously it's a terrible movie and should never be nominated for any major awards. Unfortunately I will definitely need to see it now. I'm a little excited, I won't lie. But not that much. Martin Short was at his best in A Simple Wish, let's not kid ourselves.

Does anyone else think Glenn Close looks like an iguana? I can't figure out what animal she looks like, but I think this is the closest I've gotten. lmfao, I just accidentally typed "iguana" as a tag instead of "glenn close." I should totally change it to that on a permanent basis.

glenn close, reiko aylesworth, wendy crewson, lost, er, house, elizabeth mitchell
