Tumblr, movie uncertainty, icons, and Topkapi

[kattahj]

So, I got myself a Tumblr. I don't know if I'm going to use it for anything, but I'm following the DWJ blog, I might as well follow a few more. If you want to be followed, drop me a note.

I considered going to the movies today, but then I didn't. I just sat staring on the website going, "Okay, there's Iron Sky, and The Avengers, and maybe

Topkapi has a bizarre charm, I think. I'm not sure it's good either, but I kind of love it.

Seems we're on the same page, then. :-)

It also seems that I've just made an icon more pornographic than my Charisma Carpenter nudes. Years of fandom have corrupted me.

Okay, there's Iron Sky, and The Avengers, and maybe Dark Shadows, and any one of those could be good, but what if they're not?"So, I've actually seen all three. The Avengers is my favourite, hands down, but then, I quite liked the Iron Man and Thor and Captain America movies, and I like superheroes and I mostly like Joss whedon (and it is a very Joss Whedon movie, both the good and the bad that that implies), so maybe that's just me

By the sound of it, Avengers may still be my best bet, then. I really wish this town had more movies to choose from.

What I want to know about Britain's Got Talent is how is there not David/Simon fic on AO3? It's not as if they were ship-teasing madly the whole show or anything.

I mean, I'm not sure I'd read it if there were, because RPF of people who are alive makes me a bit uncomfortable, but it would be nice to know it was there.

That's a good question! Maybe BGT fans and RPF fans don't overlap enough. Even the Ant/Dec community doesn't seem to have been active in the last couple of years. (Yeah, I checked.)

I really enjoyed Avengers, and had only seen the first Iron Man movie before it. There's a lot of action but it also has some character development and every character has a distinct voice.

Scarlett Johansen's Black Widow is the best! She's the only woman among this group, and I loved how awesome her character was.

I've bought a ticket for the 3PM show, so we'll see. :-)

Have fun :-)

Thanks!

I know, I know, I should have watched The Avengers already, but I'm in that place where I want to have seen it, but I'm not that keen to actually see it. You know, like reading War and Peace, or vacuum cleaning. (The latter of which I actually did do today, yay!) I've only seen two of the preceding movies, both of which I liked okay but am not fannish about, I haven't read the comics, I have issues with Joss Whedon, and I tend to think of action scenes as filler between the fun stuff. So taken altogether, I haven't as of yet any proof that it's a film suited to me. I just feel so awkward not having seen it.

I wish I was able to ponder all these things - and probably finally give in just to satisfy a need of seeing Tony Stark and Black Widow - but our multiplex is only running it in 3D, which is both ridiculously expensive and impossible for me to watch due to my eyes. Meh. -_-

I'm pretty sure I've seen Topkapi aeons ago. It was one of the movies my parents had on VHS.

I just got back from seeing it, in 2D, thank God. It was okay, I guess. I'll make a post later.
