I actually found the post on whining a bit "pushy" and respondedto it. I don't havea problem with S2, but I find the idea that no one is allowed to complain (or only about the things that the original poster finds legitimate, I suppose) is very arbitrary and bizarre.
Re: Little Women. Well, she wasn't planning on Jo and Laurie anyway. It's only Bauer that's the addition.
Well I can't comment on season 2 because as you know I'm deliberately not watching any yet although I'm religiously downloading. Episode 4 is downloading as well speak.
I guess I just get a bit tired of endless nitpicking without seeing the 'good' as well. You're not like that and you know it - there's always the positive posts as well the negative. There's a difference between critiquing something one likes and mauling something to pieces - which seems like a waste of time given that one spends so much time watching it.
The problem is that - and we've also seen it at the scifi boards - for some reason, the negative 'group' often overpowers the postive 'group' and it makes it sound like they have the dominant opinion. For instance, at one point over at scifi.com, if Ron Moore was swayed by what he read there, he'd think most people wanted Helo dead - which of course we don't. There was also a lot of Helo & Sharon hate at TWoP at one point although it's a bit better now
( ... )
The Logan thing on TVoP amuses me, because that character's got almost 3 times more pages on his character thread than does any other character. People certainly react :D
The scifi boards are a scary scary scary place. If RM listened to it in the first place, he'd have never done BSG. What a pit of complainers.
I honestly didn't think about you reading the fic ::blushing:: - it's light/ comfort fic that I've worked on for the last couple weeks as my birthday present (I'm 39 again! ::giggle:: ) to myself before I get Down and Grim with the NaNo thing. But thank you So much for your kind words and generous sharing of Cool Phrases that make you stop and think about what you'd like to wish someone .... Swearing is all fun and good - but having a chance to wish "favorable winds" to someone... AH, wouldn't that be a groovy opportunity Not to miss

I am not a great fan of Andy Lau after "Infernal Affairs 3" too ;(. This is an unfairness of life - the actors playing bad characters, particular the ones like in "IA3" - something about being crazy and weak - never are liked wherever good they are as actors... It must be more difficult to play a complicated character like this then more straightforward hero, but - I don’t like him..
Like i don't like the actor playing Dr.Baltar Why? Because he is a slimy bloke.. My husband thinks Dr.Baltar is the best in "BSG", though. I think men are different..
"Amelie" is a gem!!!!!!!!!!! *note to self* Put her in my "interests" list. Have you seen "Love me if you dare"?
Oh, don't get that opinion of Andy so soon!!!. He has great movies where he plays the good guy. He has some romantic comedies with Sammy Cheng that are just fantastic and that I really love such a Love on a Diet, Needing you or Magic Kitchen. I were together in another one that I haven't seen yet. But, the first two I named, you should check them out. Love on a diet and Needing you are really nice, funny and cute.
I need to watch BSG, it seems... but I still have a list of stuff I want to buy and BSG will have to wait a bit longer ;) but I do want to see it since Jamey Bamber is there *grin*
Chinese Odyssey is really cute and if you like it, then I would recommend you Warriors of Heaven and Earth, that isn't comedy (in fact is a drama but I really like it!) but where stars also Vicky Zhao, who I find quite beautiful (she and Faye are really sweet and lovely in Chinese Odyssey. They probably are my favorite actress with Sammy Chen).
Vicky Zhao was adorable in Shaolin Soccer as the mantou maker with the skin problem :)
Faye is probably my favourite singer in the whole wide world for a whole bunch of reasons - Chungking Express is a definite MUST if you like Faye ;)
Love Undercover with Miriam Yeung is a silly but very sweetly romantic HK movie that stars Daniel Wu - it's really cute.
Ummm, you totally need to watch BSG ;) It's sooooo good.
I've seen Andy in other stuff apart from the IAs - House of Flying Daggers, Running on Karma, that 'to catch a thief' rip off with Sammi Cheng, Days of Being Wild..... plus his mug was all over everything in HK :) I'm just unfair and biased. Hee hee. I hear he's a really nice person in real life. I think my friend Hera has met him.
Of course Chunking Express is a must!!! It was the first Wong Kar Wai movie I saw and the first time I saw Faye in something. I really like the way she sings. And although everybody hates the movie, I like Leaving me, loving you, where she is with Leon Lai. She is quite cold in that movie but looks fantastic and Shanghai looks beautiful on it!!
Love Undercover is cute too! I really like Daniel Wu, who I think is really hot. He has a tiny part in Magic Kitchen and also is in Naked Weapon (that I didn't like that much, though).
Miriam is pretty funny in a movie with Ekin Cheng, Anna in Kung-fu Land.
Btw, how cool is that your friends met famous people: one saw Takuya, another one Andy. I think I should move to Hong Kong or maybe to Tokyo *lol*
Love Scrubs!!! There is a tv station here that airs two episodes every Saturday so in a little while I will watch it ;) I am thinking on buying at least season 1 (already released here) on Christmas.
Thanks for recommending my icons!! You're so nice to me!!! You see I love 2046 so much and you say so great things with all detail in your posts about it that I couldn't help myself but create more icons! (and probably will create more when I feel like it). Yesterday I made caps of Pride, though, so I will try to get some icons from it.
Love, love, love Amelie. It is such a sweet story! I think I may make some icons some day.
Someday you'll have to tell me why you don't like Andy Lau, just curious.
