How did I not know before this that George R.R. Martin's 'not a blog' (grrm) blog is on LiveJournal!!! [facepalm] There's a new casting clue up btw.

Been watching a ton of stuff lately. Last week, I continued my Battlestar Galactica rewatch (currently in S3). And I'm almost finished with my Star Trek: TOS rewatch. I usually watch one episode per ( Read more... )

I tried. I REALLY tried. I watched all three movies and I STILL don't get why people think the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series is good.

What did you think of Downton Abbey & Amélie??

Downton Abbey is my new favorite show! So brilliantly complex and nuanced. The stories make me feel for all the characters, occasionally even the characters I hate like Mrs. O'Brien and Thomas. They make dealing with the changes of the time seems so fresh and relevant. Reminds me of North & South or Mad Men. I ship Bates/Anna and Sybil/Branson. I love Matthew and Mary's love/hate relationship but I'm unsure if I want them together in the end. Mary is so terrible to people sometimes but then she'll do something that gains my sympathy. Can't wait for S2!

Amélie is a fun, playfully inventive film. I loved everyone's quirks. And of course, I'm a big sucker for things that are destined. I liked it.

Yeah. I hated her at first, but I feel like she did a lot of growing up in S1, more than anyone else IMO.

I liked Bates/Anna at first, but I got sick of Bates and his ever self-sacrificing act just to keep the peace around. It just got to be too much.
