I don't think I will be able to stop talking about Generation Kill

[alexandral]

"Generation Kill" continues to be great. I am reading anything and everything connected with the show

STUBBLE. LUPINE EYES. THE FURS!

ajhsgfjfkgjj!

kenorland and I were fangirling the other day about how sexy the whole primal "I can kill you with my sword and marshal a longboat full of bloodthirsty pillagers" thing was when you put it in the suave figure of a vampire. It's the complexity and contradictions that make him so magnetic.

** joins fangirling ** The furs absolutely killed me. :D

I love the clever trick in one of the books (4?) when Eric loses his memory and gets back to his "I am chieftain" self. SO GOOD.

[the_grynne]

Ha! And he's like, "Why are you not providing for your sister? She shouldn't have to work in a bar" at Jason.

[alexandral]

Hee! I kind of like Jason too, and I like the actor in the series.

I don't know if you have read it, but I posted this interview from Salon.com with Ed Burns in July. I think it is a pretty good one.

[alexandral]

Thank you so much for the link - this is an excellent interview. Some strong words there "From my point of view, we should try those people responsible for putting us to war. Put them in a courtroom, because what they did was a crime.". The show is very cleverly done, it avoids making any judgments but at the same time leads you to some questions..

you will have to forgive me, I fear that I am going to babble!

In my gut I feel the same way as Burns, at least in regards to some members of the Bush Administration. But it is terribly complicated. One of the reasons that I haven't been posting much is that I don't want to offend or bore people. I haven't felt like posting about my life or fandom related things; I have been a little obsessed with the news and politics lately. I will say one thing, though, after last week, I am actually scared of John McCain. I lost respect for him quite a while ago, but now I fear what will happen if he becomes president of the US.

Exactly, which is why I appreciate it so much.

I usually don't venture too far into politics. I could not miss the unfolding story with Russian/Georgian conflict and the coverage of it in the West, though. I must say I am angry with everyone - with Russian government, with crazy Georgian president, with the Western double-standard (in the least!) media and governments. EVERYONE.

What happened this week? I think I am so absorbed in the Russian/Georgian conflict that I missed any news on McCain. But yep, he does not seem to be a good future president.

What a beautiful picture! Thanks for sharing it. :)

[alexandral]

I am glad you like! I am not sure if you read "Southern Vampire" books (the ones "True Blood" series are made from) . They are not at all good but Eric is wonderful. :D

[alexandral]

I need to read a couple more of the Sookie books, if only to read the one where Eric loses his memory. *g*

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK IN THE SERIES! I don't want to spoil anything. :D

This picture is great, and I like the way they blend the new and the old.

I like the way they used the fur, and a man wearing a black shirt is always a big big plus!

I am very exited too. :D

[alexandral]

I was very sceptical about the wig at first, but yep - now I am convinced . ;D

[trystan830]

oooh he's pretty!!!

[alexandral]

He has been voted "the sexiest man" about 5 times in Sweden. :D

[trystan830]

oh yeah... i can see why.....

[alexandral]

One word: Cheekbones. :D
