We saw it Friday, and I've been kind of processing ever since. Will contain mild spoilers--like, I'm not going to go through the plot scene by scene or in extravagant detail, but I am going to mention specific moments I liked or didn't, so it'll be under the LJ cut.

Not in any kind of order other than how thoughts occur to me while typing.

( age of ultron thoughts )

Thoughts on Trance, finally! Possibly some spoilers, but I'll try not to be too explicit. As usual, only writing things down in the order they occur to me...
( trance )

Movie review time! I'll try not to give away any major spoilers, though there might be some vague ones. Thoughts in the order they occur to me, not in any sort of indication of importance.

Also, starlady38 is trying to get me to have a Tumblr. I'm starting to suspect that I should at least have one, and learn to use it, even though I'm still clinging to LJ ( Read more... )

Still here! Working like mad on Academic Book Project. Rewarding self with candied pineapple along the way. (Thanks, telperion_15!) Quick things...

1. Anniversary weekend was beautiful. Just...idyllic, really. In the best sense. Us, the gorgeous old hotel, the holiday decorations...luxurious room (and, yes, bed)...Awesome Husband arranging things like horse- ( Read more... )

Movie Review Time! Will probably contain vague spoilers, but I'll try not to give too much away. And I'm just writing things down in the order in which they occur to me, not chronologically at all. Also, if you want to watch a Bond movie made up of five minutes of each and every previous Bond movie compiled in order, which actually makes a pretty ( Read more... )

1. Clearly I should have fandom anniversaries more often! Because people make me lovely things! Like this fan art for the mistletoe fic, which is spectacular! (Look at James's eyes! and the graceful lines of the mistletoe! and the sincerity in Michael's kiss!) And also girlinventor wrote holiday fic for ME! In which there is the Fourth of July, Charles eating ( Read more... )

(Actually, just as a side note, because I'm realizing this: if I'm going to put up more of the original fantasy fic, I could use more medieval/fantasy/fairytale icons...suggestions, people?)

So, I was feeling well enough to venture out for a couple of hours, and Awesome Husband and I went to see Prometheus. Random observations under the cut; not in ( Read more... )

Happy Free Comic Book Day!

So, last night, Awesome Husband and I and a group of friends--after spending the afternoon building robots (it was someone's birthday, okay, she wanted to) and eating cupcakes--went to see The Avengers. Which is stupendous. You should go see it. Now. I'll wait.

Anyway, here're some of my thoughts, in the order it occurs to ( Read more... )

So, having seen Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol (that is, M:I:4), I find myself convinced of these things:

1. Jeremy Renner is everything wonderful
2. Simon Pegg is a bit overused as comic relief, but that makes a Certain Scene that much better
3. Tom Cruise is not that bad actually
4. Brad Bird should direct more things (also, I kind of want to ( Read more... )

So the Awesome Fiance and I ended up catching most of 300 on television last night, and I was going to write some sort of intellectual commentary about portrayals of masculinity and Otherness, but SUDDENLY THERE WAS MICHAEL FASSBENDER IN A LOINCLOTH and so I pretty much just watched that for the next hour. Which is not conducive to any intellectual ( Read more... )
