Wicked Has Watched
SHIELD!!!! Acfgjb.khbdf.vkhdv I have feelings damnit. Mostly about Lola XD XD XD
Brothers Conflict is like UtaPri without the singing. Also more incest. Because they're both dating games that somehow make for oddly compelling watching, how does that even work, I'm so invested in these pick-and-choose romances despite knowing she's never going to actually settle on somebody. Anyhow random girl comes to live at house with lots of attractive brothers because her dad is marrying their mum and all the brothers proceed to fall madly in love with her, despite being ridiculously codependent and incestuous in the first episode before they meet her. There are twin-triplets. They're awesome and probably what would happen to future generations of the Weasley family if they were to crossbreed with Ouran and gets jobs as voice actors where they are paid to flirt with each other. I obviously adore it and now want to convince everyone else to watch it and write fic for me to coo over. There's a squirrel. It talks. Now you have to watch it *nods*
Sleepy Hollow. Such an oddly adorable show for something that has the devil appearing slightly out of focus and snapping necks. Ichabod Crane is the kind of educated and attractive that would make him the perfect lead of anything really, except for the part where he was a British guy fighting on the other side of the Revolutionary War and woke up several hundred years later to a world where claiming George Washington tasked you with killing witches gets you taken to an asylum. Thank god for Abbie Mills, lieutenant, sceptic, and all round bastion of common sense and snark. Apparently the bible says they're destined to be partners as they stop the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Watching them needle each other is way more fun than the plot, also John Cho is such a good evil minion, the devil can really pick them.
By Any Means just started, the first episode set up the team of not-quite policemen who go around tricking people into prison. The bickering when they broke into the house together was cute, as was the idiotic football fan they tricked twice. Looking forward to seeing what it's like with the new guy added. Also for a tad darker storylines, seriously it's on after the watershed and the worst it had was a man being killed mostly off-screen. Whitechapel has insisted on showing me eviscerations and flaying every week until I've become rather expecting of a little violence for my grown-up telly ;P
xxxHolic live action is basically just the anime without Mokona, shoved into less than 10 episodes, but it works. They really got the dreamy style down and it's the perfect sort of morbid, just like the manga. The opening song is basically the best bit (Aitai by Shikao Suga) but seeing all the outfits on actual people is kind of awesome. Ame-Warashi looks perfect, there aren't words for how much joy I got watching her poke Watanuki with her umbrella every time he annoyed her, hehehe.
The Wrong Mans was okay but not as interesting as the half hour of GBBO that I caught before it, which says it all.
RIPD is rubbish, I only went to see it because dad wanted the house at the weekend and it was the only film on in the afternoon. Kevin Bacon is the best thing about it and he's such an obvious villain you expect his motivation to be world domination and finding an even snazzier leather jacket. It would've been so much more interesting if the physical bodies of the dead policemen that all the normal living people could see- a blonde bombshell and an old Chinese man- were actually the main characters. I'd have happily watched 2hrs about a lawman from the old West stuck in the body of a highly attractive woman until his soul works through unresolved issues (and solves crime). He was clearly comfortable being seen as a woman by random people and his speech to some guy staring at his tits about not being there for his enjoyment was the best part of the film.
And thus everything I've watched this week is summed up, leaving way for new things to watch and flail about. Also uni and actual coursework.
