Happiest of belated birthdays to my favorite mad (hot) scientist, meresy! Meres, you know I adore you, and I am so very very glad that you were born, and I am sending you many virtual hugs (I MISS YOU), and you may be very sure that AU!me was actually on the ball and brought you pancakes and balloons in bed, in celebration of your day. *hugs ( Read more... )

bones, sarah connor chronicles, fuck you fox, magic of the dance, lift your goblet of rock, birthdays, music, come with me if you want to live

I have nothing coherent to say other than this post made me ridiculously happy.

when I first saw T2, I was Eddie Furlong's age, so I thought that John Connor was the coolest ever, and of course I was totally in love with him. Now he just looks so LITTLE to me

YES. THIS. RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.

His little FACE! OMG!

Brynn, my rage re: TSSC knows no bounds. NO BOUNDS! I mean I'd gotten to the point, with this show, that I would literally be willing to give up EVERYTHING ELSE, we're talking total tv blackout here, just to keep it. Even FNL ( ... )

I read the film companion book and the story is awesome and the book is...surprisingly well written?!Oooh! That is encouraging! (I am trying to keep low expectations. But I am stil excited ( ... )

Oh dear. Reviews are coming in and they are...rather less than stellar. *facepalm* I really did enjoy the book--locked myself in my office and read it in an afternoon--but...how much of that is due to the authour's additional exposition and attribution of character development/emotion, etc. Having never read a film companion book before, I don't even know how they're written. Does the guy just sit there and watch the film over and over again, taking notes?

I'm still going tonight. We shall see...

And YES to your TSCC comment! Not to mention I think it's hilarious the number of people (here, blogs, critics) who have pointed out, not so subtly digging at RDM, that Friedman et al, did indeed actually seem to HAVE A PLAN, dammit! Hee. Lost and Heroes are barely watchable.

Just to add fuel to the flames, TD is also one of the dorkiest dorks to ever embrace guyliner. HEE.

Before I read any further, I must comment with the appropriate icon. :D Honestly, I don't think anyone in that conversation thought that that phrase would catch on like this. LOL!

And wow...you sat through T3... again? And you liked it? 0_0 WOW! But...but... it screws up the timeline in the opening voice over, and...and.... okay, okay, okay. But I don't have to acknowledge its existence, do I? *disney eyes*

brynnmck May 19 2009, 16:40:59 UTC

No cheese in the future! It is never not funny!

And yes, I like T3! I actually saw it twice in the theatre, and then I bought it on DVD when it came out. And I know they screw up the timeline (which is very WTF, certainly, because IT IS NOT THAT HARD TO GET THAT DETAIL RIGHT), but I liked a lot of the concepts behind it, so. *shrug* I like it! Not as well as the first two, but I like it. You are free to disavow any knowledge of its existence, though. *g*

deathisyourart May 19 2009, 16:52:45 UTC

Awesome! What is this T3 thing you speak of?

BTW... did you see that ABC is doing a television version of the Due South/Slings & Arrows fandom? Paul Gross is playing Darryl Van Horne (a mysterious man who unleashes unique powers in the women around him)in the Withes of Eastwick remake/series? When I saw his name attached to it I nearly died of laughter.

brynnmck May 19 2009, 16:57:34 UTC

I have heard that! I am skeptical, but of course I will give it a shot, because... PAUL GROSS.

I probably should not admit exactly how disappointed I am that I'm spending the weekend with an old college friend and therefore not seeing T4 as soon as it's out. *terrible, terrible friend*

re: TSCC & Dollhouse, THIS. Dammit!

"THERE'S NO CHEESE IN THE FUTURE!"

WHICH IS WHY I REFUSE TO LIVE IN THE FUTURE. Tru fax.

brynnmck May 19 2009, 16:19:38 UTC

Hey, dude, PRIORITIES. Certain movies are srs bizns!

I also refuse to live in a world without cheese. Nuclear winter, hunter-killers, evil robots... FINE. But no cheese? I DON'T FUCKING THINK SO, FUTURE.

Re: Bones, I think I'd rather they know they have two more seasons (so they can plan exciting Plotly & Emotional Arcs!) than be renewed on a year-to-year basis.

brynnmck May 19 2009, 16:12:09 UTC

Yes, true! I just feel like most shows have about two good seasons in them before they start devolving, and Bones has already (IMO) beaten those odds, so I just have a knee-jerk fear that the longer they draw it out, the more chance there is that it's going to become painful in some ways. OTOH: MOAR BONES. And THAT is exciting.
