Not So Deep Thoughts

[july_july_july]

This morning at water aerobics, I was struck with a series of (possibly lame and irrelevant) meta ideas. Yes, I said water aerobics. Laugh it up, chuckles, that shit is hard. Anyway, I have some Deep Thinking to do tomorrow, and maybe I will try and write something Analytical and Profound. Dr. House is gonna be in it, and there might be music,

Sera Gamble and Kevin Smith need to get together and have a dialog-off.

Also, yes. It was a nice change to see the boys beat each other up a bit instead of just wallowing in their man!pain.

But...Kevin Smith is really GOOD at it. Kevin Smith and Aaron Sorkin should have a dialog-off. *headdesk*

As for the man!pain...my people are Finn-Swedes and Swede-Finns. I've never seen my father cry, not even at his brother's funeral. I've seen him get teary-eyed maybe once, and I was in the fucking hospital. Do you know what my people do? We get drunk and fight. It's a time honored tradition in that part of the world. Everything else just makes me terribly uncomfortable. I almost walked out of the X-men movie when Jean dies and Cyclops starts bawling.

And see, I nearly walked out of the X-men movie when they started in on the whole Phoenix plot in general. . . .

Kevin Smith is . . . mostly good at it. I have certain issues with his writing, actually, which makes me terribly unpopular within my generation. (Mind you, I have more issues with his visual direction skills, which he himself has admitted to sucking at.)

But, hey, now I'm picturing Josh and Donna walking-and-talking through the West Wing discussing random facts about blow jobs at high speed. And . . . that's just fun.

Hee. At first I was all like *whimper* after the fight scene. And then Drv and I thought about it for a second and turned to each other all "Wait. Were they CRYING WHILE THEY FOUGHT?!" And then we couldn't stop laughing. Jeezus Criminy.

I'll take crying and fighting over just plain crying any day of the week. I was raised to believe that men do not cry after age of 11, and if they do, they should have the decency to do it alone in the shower like everyone else. I've tried to readjust my expectations since then. But it still squicks me out, seeing it on screen.

Also! I need to get your S.C. idea together and send it to you for veta/approval. I'll try and do that later today when I've finished up my essays.

Awesome! Doooo eeeeeet!

That was the biggest Epic Tear of Man!Pain I have *ever* seen. That sucker came spilling out like someone squoze (tm my grandmother) Jensen's eyeball. But I agree. Enough of the, "Dude, I'm gonna stand here and cry." It was well past time for some ass-kicking.

It was well past time for some ass-kicking.

WORD to your Grandma. I mean really. I strongly dislike a lot of what Sera Gamble has written, and most of it comes down to: Please quit telling us and show us a little. They're pretty good actors. I think they can take it.

RE: Sera Gamble . . . I have figured out what the last seal is, and it was broken last night:

Sam and Ruby were in bed, and they both had clothes on. In a Sera Gamble script.

Armageddon can now commence.

I noticed that! Who has sex with their shirts on, on TV? That's just goofy. Even in real life, for Pete's sake!

Wait, no, I get it. The rippling chest of Sam would probably distract us from the Very Important Man Pain taking place. See, viewers? Look over there! It's Man Pain!

[feliciakw]

Heh. Actually, I think it was probably to indicate that they aren't necessarily having sex anymore. It's no longer about that particular type of bodily fluid exchange. Either that, or the sex has become a very perfunctory part of the whole thing.

I prefer to think that Sam is no longer having sex with a demon-possessed corpse.

But you know what I think will really disappoint me? If we don't get classis rock and a "Road Thus Far" during next week's previouslies. Heh.

Oh, there had better be Kansas. If we don't get our Wayward Son, the housecat army is truly going to revolt.

How so beautiful? HOW?

I don't even know. And people wonder why I have a thing for sailors, even if they are smoky, sun-burned, foul-mouthed lushes. I heart them.
