Livejournal, BE MORE AWESOME

Jun 09, 2012 12:03

Geez, you guys. Why is this place so slow this week? I mean, it's been slow for a while but this is even worse. I know I'm not being helpful by driving everyone away with my constant fangirling over The Killing, but c'mon. Don't fail me now.

Here are a few things happening in my brain right now:

→ Vids. Vids. Vids. I told gigglemonster that I've got The Vids ( Read more... )

movies: snow white and the hunstman, tv: haven, tv: the killing, tv: the vampire diaries, celeb: joel kinnaman, tv: generation kill, i heart my flist, tv: six feet under, movies:savages, movies, tv: shameless us, tv: so you think you can dance, writing, vidding, tv: the pacific, movies: lola versus, celeb: daniel gillies, tv: game of thrones

Ditto on the LJ! Where are all my fangirls at?!

Excited about Savages--because it's Oliver Stone and an actual OT3! Although I'm interested in seeing if they're going to keep the book's ending, which honestly, ticked me off!

AH! You still haven't seen Lola Versus? Because you know, Joel Kinnaman! And he's dating Olivia Munn? Ugh.

Right? It's like a void. *echo*echo*echo*

I have a strong feeling the ending will be the same. While it made me sad, I kind of thought it was beautiful the way it ended. So I'll be happy either way.

Nope. It was released this weekend but it appears to be a limited release. I am pretty much dying to see it. D-Y-I-N-G.

ETA: Why are we "ugh"ing Olivia Munn. (I know next to nothing about her.) Or are we simply "ugh"ing the fact that he's currently spoken-for?

Basically so far the only people who are not total creeps are the Starks. (I am not sure that is the reaction the producers intended.)

No, no that's pretty much the intention. Well, not "creepy", maybe, but Morally Ambiguous Assholes: The Show? Yes.

Well I haven't gotten so far into it but "ambigous" would not be the word I would choose. Bankrupt, seems slightly more accurate to me.

I feel like the characters are, on the whole, a lot more sympathetic in season 2. I'm actually not a big fan of Robb Stark, but in addition to the remainder of the Starks, I think Tyrion and Daenerys have their hearts pretty consistently in the right place. (Tyrion definitely a creeper, tho, can't contest that)

I am sure that's all true. But I'm only 2 episodes in, so give me time. Daenerys so far has pretty much been a victim of said creepery. And hey, I didn't even know that was her name because they were calling her something else. That's how far into the series I am. Once I learn people's names, I'll get back to you. Haha.

I wanted to see Snow White and the Huntsman too, but now I'm maybe going to see Brave in two weeks instead. Maybe I'll do a double feature! I haven't done that since I was a kid!

LJ was super-slow and I wanted to say the same thing! But then I thought maybe people were Twittering or Tumblring or something?

Bambi is such a snoozefest, oh my gods. I mean, yes, we know what's coming and it's sad but I think you can only be about 24 months old before you get too bored to watch it. But maybe that's just me.

(spoilers for Bambi) And I'm still a bit pissed that the dad came out of nowhere at the end. Seriously, where was he before?

I wanted to take my little girl Lizzie to see Brave but she's not allowed to see anything above G unless it's been properly screened first. This was not always the case but as she's gotten a little older and understands more of what she sees, she's the kind of kid who gets really emotionally attached to characters and ends up asking (and then obsessing over) philosophical questions that are addressed in anything she watches, Long story short (too late!) I won't be able to take her unless her parents have seen it first. Boo.

Yeah it's definitely been slow over the last week at least. Even more-so than usual. (For me anyway.)

Bambi is pretty slow as well but I think Snow White and Sleepy Beauty are right on par with it. It's like a trifecta of boring.

ETA: YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY SEE SWATH,

YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY SEE SWATH
:-) I definitely shall, then. Kristen Stewart was giving me pause. I've never seen her in anything but I haven't heard she was a brilliant actress, either.

I'll maybe do a double feature. I can't wait for Brave! *bounces*
