fannish viewing results
Victoria's Secret:
The first five minutes or so I thought I was watching a songvid :-) [And yes, cathexys and springwoof, I then watched the vid you recced, and yes it's pretty and cleverly done with the other footage, but it doesn't say anything special to me, because I am missing the vid-appreciation gene.] I liked the snow-theme throughout, and I liked dead!Bob showing up and being his usual unhelpful self. I liked the way the story was constructed to manipulate the viewer into thinking well of Victoria at first, with little discordant notes introduced bit by bit.
The very ending bothered me, because I found Fraser...out of character? Because if he was going to make the decision to follow her, it would have been a few minutes earlier - but he sounded so sure, so at peace with himself, and nothing material happened that would have changed his mind, it seemed to me.
I especially liked Ray Vecchio, his hurt when he felt left out at first, followed by the total unswerving devotion to his best friend. That's the sort of relationship that just makes me sigh happily to see.
And yeah, every bit of new-to-me canon that I absorb makes me re-evaluate the stories I've read in their light.
Hard Core Logo:
Callum's gorgeous. But will everyone kill me if I say I didn't find Hugh Dillon attractive at all? Neither Joe Dick's personality nor his looks appealed to me (although every once in a while he flashed this very cute puppy-dog smile). Yes, very slashy movie, very troubled and complex relationship. Funny bits every so often had me giggling. I already knew what was going to happen, having read fic, but I don't think that hurt the experience.
What is strange for me is that I sort of crave CKR-RPF, but I don't really like him paired with Hugh, because I don't find him attractive, or with Paul, because of the wife and kids thing.
And, can I just say it's a very weird experience watching a movie that I've seen about 50 stills of (as icons) already? I was thinking, "Oh! I recognize that picture!" every so often.
