care or control: a criminal justice picspam.

OK, so there's this British series called Criminal Justice that is OMG one of the best dramas I have ever seen. Maxine Peake is in it (and how she did not win a BAFTA for this role is beyond me, kalikeca and I have been practically tearing our hair out over it) and while she is a very big reason why it is so awesome, the show as a whole is complex and ( Read more... )

Awesome, awesome, awesome pic spam. I can't believe Maxine didn't win the BAFTA for this. Just look at the pictures. It ~is a very good show. When you get the chance, would you mind hooking me up with the second epi? It's so well done, it's hard to watch. Maxine is such a great actress.

I wonder if there's anyway I can listen to that afternoon play as well. After all I was able to listen to Wimbledon live at work. :) OMG THAT PICTURE IS GORGEOUS! I'm gonna look into that...

Thanks bb! I really appreciate the comment - I know a few other people have looked at it, but nobody's commented, which makes me kinda sad, since it took like five hours to put this thing together.
A couple of the rows of pics went a bit wonky, but on the whole I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Of course, bb! I can upload it for you now and then it should be done soon :) I can also upload Speak for you today :)
I hope you do get to listen to the afternoon play! I can probably hook you up with it if you can't though :) And yes, that picture *sigh* ♥

Hey hey sweetie! I'm up late, trying to fix up my LJ, but it takes me so fucking long!!! All I've been able to accomplish is 'fixing' my lj cuts and posting an entry. (sigh) And it's nothing like your totally awesome picspam. I think this is why I put LJ off. It takes too long for me. :/ I'm not as super-techy-quick like you younger generation. :P

Hmmmm, I bet people are just busy with the holiday here. They probably saw the page, and thought, I'll check that out later. I think the lining up of the pics is so cool, actually. I did notice the 'wacky' one, but I liked it that way. Thought you did it on purpose. lol

Oh, Speak *KStew sigh* Actually she looks quite young in this film--she's just so adorable. <3 I'll prob watch it, though I am trying to balance watching light stuff with the heavy. I watched Schindler's List last night. Very good film. Didn't leave me too down, but ya know... It's like I need a couple shots of Glee or The Sound of Music before I watch another sad/heavy film. I think that's part of the reason I like ( ... )

Hey love! Aww, it can take a long time to do LJ stuff, it can take me ages! I read your entry, and I'm really sorry you're struggling *huge hugs*

Yeah, I guess they must be busy. I hope some other people find it interesting, because it really is a great show. It did take me ages to try and line them up properly, so I'm quite relieved only one or two went wonky, so yay!

Kristen does look so so young in the film, it's insane. I think she was only about thirteen when they filmed it. How are you finding Glee? And I love The Sound of Music! I've been watching it practically on repeat lately :)

*hugs*

Oooooo, Matthew MacFadyen! This one looks extremely interesting - I might have to give it a go at some point. Is this an ongoing series or an already finished one?

GIRL THIS WAS ONE OF MY RECS (you know, the ones I mentioned? The other was a film called Cracks, jsyk)!! You need to watch it like right now - would you like me to upload the first episode for you?

And yep, Matthew is very good in it - he got a BAFTA for Supporting, since he's only really in the first episode. But Maxine Peake is just incredible (and no, I'm not just saying that because I love her, I'm serious!).
It was a five-part series that aired last October :)

(Also, that's Tina Fey in your icon, yes? YUM ♥)

Fab! I'd love for you to upload the first ep, but can you do it in two weeks time or so? I won't be able to download it until I get back home. <3 (And omg, Cracks is on my list of things to watch. *g*)

I have a feeling I'll be watching this one with my mum - we both have a thing for British thriller/crime/drama series, heh.

(Tina Fey = LOVE.)

Of course! Just let me know when you want to watch it and I can do it for you! I can't wait for you to watch it - I think you'll really like it :D
And Cracks is so so good, you will LOVE it :D
I'm thinking of vid ideas to do for it this week!! ♥

(I think my favourite Tina thing will always be Mean Girls ♥)

Hee, thank you! *bows* It took me forever to screencap and try and get in a good enough quality! And of course you can bask in my glow! (That sounds kinda wrong :D) Who is this other amazing friend?

Seriously, I'm so happy you like this and thought I got everything - especially the house and everything! You picked out everything I wanted to show and I'm glad I could point out things that you originally missed. It's awesome that you got the hug thing because that was a really interesting part, I thought :)
Thanks for saying it's brilliant! ♥♥♥

Hee! You are indeed very awesome, and it doesn't just come from your brilliant friends! YOU ARE INHERENTLY AWESOME ♥♥♥

I did spend forever on this - I had about twice as many caps originally but I thought that might be going overboard so I deleted a bunch and I think there's about 150 now :D
So I'm really happy you liked it ♥♥♥

Hi there, just a reminder -- might you be able to find time to upload one of the Criminal Justice episodes so I can watch it? Thanks very much!

Sure thing! I can do upload the first one for you tomorrow ♥

Hey there! I remembered to upload the first episode for you this morning! You can download it here :)

Thank you so much! I've grabbed this, but let me get back to you once I've watched it. Thanks again!

... Is it just me or is there EPIC amounts of subtext for Jack/Juliet? (and Jack/Anna... kinda)

Reply

onlyjustwhisper July 5 2010, 18:57:41 UTC
IT IS NOT JUST YOU. I was worried it might be just me!! There is definitely subtext there, I was discussing it with kalikeca :D
(I was shipping them like woah, let me tell you!)
And I noticed the Jack/Anna stuff too :D :D

femme_slash_fan July 5 2010, 19:00:39 UTC
Maxine yet again bringing the gay!

(Oh god, I know... I cried when Jack went all bitch-voice on her... I was 'buh... buh... YOU LOVE HERRRR.')

LOL I won't post the quote but yes, final ep row for J/A was like 'OMFG they were SO shagging pre-Juliet...'

Reply

onlyjustwhisper July 5 2010, 19:02:35 UTC
IT IS EVERYWHERE. SHE JUST CAN'T HELP IT. FTW!!

(I know me too, I was like 'NOOOO!!! Be nice, she is fragile!!!')

Totally agree, there was definitely something going on! I mean, in the first ep (I think) when Jack asks Anna to be Juliet's barrister and Anna just drops everything and is like 'OK!'.... GAY.
