Seriously, this movie is boring.

Had a pretty nice day. Haircut, awesome buckwheat crepe at a farmer's market near my friend's house and then went to see the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy (for free! Thanks to my friend's work

Not ALL banks, but the expensive, hoity-toity ones do. Also, Manhattan has a lot of banks whose headquarters are based there, thus the nicer buildings.

Also, tragically, there's going to be a distinct lack of Elizabeth in the first half of S2 because of Tiffani's pregnancy. LIFE IS SO HARD. I can only hope they make up for it with lots of extra El in the back-end of S2.

Sorry, had a moment of confusion there with china_shop's comment below. I should sleep. ;)

That totally makes sense about the HQ. I should have thought of that.

I didn't realise Tiffani was pregnant. Congratulations to her, but she will be missed on the show. :(

I read somewhere that back before banks had insurance and so on, they used to be housed in very grand, impressive buildings to give an impression that they had oodles of cash and were stable and secure. Since regulation, there's more consumer confidence (mostly), so banks don't need to use subliminal architecture as much, but presumably some is legacy/tradition. :-)

Ooh, that is interesting, Cheers. And the headquarters thing totally makes sense, I should have thought of that.

I didn't realise Tiffani was pregnant. Congratulations to her, but she will be missed on the show. :(

They are keeping her around, afaik. Which is good, because yeah, I'd miss her too.

ETA: I believe she had the baby in the hiatus.

Gah, sorry, totally confused your comment with pocky_slash's above. My reply may have been slightly confusing. *shakes head* I should go to bed. ;)

Whooooooo, Papa Roach! :D

Does it get better?
I think so, yes. It's different from BSG, but I still enjoyed the first ten episodes a lot.
