I need a distraction...

I just re-watched Control, which was an incredibly stupid move on my part. That movie always depresses the hell out of me anyway (stupid emotionally manipulative use of "Atmosphere"), but then, it had to remind me that Ian Curtis was 23 years old when he killed himself, and guess what age I am turning this year? So, in conjunction with the normal ( Read more... )

Plus, it had a projectile pig. Your argument is therefore invalid.
YESSSS

great list!

Anything that has a projectile pig is automatically beyond awesome, it's just a simple fact of life.

Thank you, hon. :)

Wow, you put a lot of thought into this and it is a great snapshot of what moves you. *hugs* Thanks for that alone.

Now, I have to do the fangirl thing and agree wholeheartedly with you about the amazing John Simm. He is such an amazing actor that man. On one hand I'd love to see him do more things but on the other, I admire him for chosing those parts that call to him. His commnet in the DW confidential was that he likes the darker characters and that definitely comes out in his acting. So happy that he did come back as the Master. Even if it was a little over the top, the EoT story, he owns that character. Love, love him and the pics you posted here.

Aww, thank you hon! *smishes* I'm glad you enjoyed reading it.

Seeing Simm in Who really reinforced how much I want for him to do another television serie. I want for there to be more TV roles that call out to him, those dark, desperate characters that he just inhabits so well. He's just brilliant.

Thanks again! *blows kisses*

Hope you don't mind a looong comment cause you're about to get one ( ... )

Not at all, I love your long comments! *hugs*

Nowadays, the only US shows I watch with enthusiasm are Arrested Development and IASIP, both of which have shortened seasons (the latter by choice, the former because FOX are a bunch of twits), because they are the only two US series that I feel really match British shows in terms of the darker directions they go with their plots, the risks they take, and the fact that their shorter seasons mean a higher percentage of awesome episodes.

I love The Thick of it. I do have to catch up on the most recent series, but it really is brilliant, and Peter Capaldi is fantastic in it.

I saw Pulp ages after it first came out, but when I did see it, it was no less radical. Sure, my obsession with how Quentin writes, both in terms of dialogue and narrative, was a post-Basterds phenomenon, but it doesn't mean that I didn't love it beforehand, and Pulp (as well as Reservoir Dogs) was the reason for that. Really, in terms of writing, he is who I aspire to be. As for the foot massages, given Tarantino's ( ... )

Wanted to send you this link before I forgot. A smokin' hot pic of the Fassbender.

Um... I do believe that the word "UNF" properly conveys my initial reaction to seeing that picture. "Do me" and "fuck, yes" may also have sprung to mind. ;)

Thanks for the link, my dear. There is nothing quite like waking up to a bit of Fassy hotness.

Ah, blissfully blank. Is there a better state of mind to be in?

And hey, who needs constructive when you have Simm? The man defies the constructive use of a fangirl's brain. ;)

Thanks for commenting, hon! *smishes*
