Reviews of stuff (that is not Doctor Who, or my radio gig)

Helped sororial unit move today. Life's been kicking my ass in non-subtle ways recently (don't ask; I'll get around to it), and frankly I'm not good at understanding or describing my own feelings when they're set off by situations outside my daily-living norm, so it's going to be a struggle not to let the fact that I'm alone in the house trigger

Besides, David Tennant's hair gets way better once he goes faux-crazy and expunges prep from his wardrobe

Oh my yes. XD

[petronia]

It deserves its own credit! XD

I talked to your sister the other day, and said congrats on the move. Then I was called away before I could make this comment, but I sometimes get the impression she blames you for not being the conventional, upstanding, high-earning kind of oldest child who takes all of the parental heat so that the youngest child can be artsy and non-material in peace. ^^;;

You think Araki's gotten more into psychology in his old age, or he's gotten less into the genre conventions of pulp comics in his old age?

Will someone eventually put on a production in which Horatio runs a hoax-busting website from Wittenberg and Marcellus's email reaches him at the nadir of his PhD thesis avoidance?That would be awesome

I'm not sure what to say to that. XD;

I think he's definitely gotten more into psychology. Or religion, what's scarier: obviously one assumes that Stand User Jesus is just hilariously random, except it isn't - the plot is about the power conferred by the remains, but some of the characters are serious Catholics, and most of them are seeking redemption. So it's as much about Jesus Christ in the standard manner as anything.

I haven't seen it, and I have to say you're scaring me... XD

It's probably because I'm also an oldest child that I thought that. XD;; Sorry to be all personal in your journal comments.

If I was a serious Catholic, would I become more or less religious if I knew there were relics that really conferred magic powers on their owners? ....More, of course. Though the randomness of the powers might make me wonder about God's sense of humour.

It's a great, great show. But also, you genuinely fear that it'll all end very badly. XD;;

Random rec seconding r us

[credoimprobus]

Imma weigh in and say that EVERYONE SHOULD SEE SLINGS & ARROWS. It's briiilliant. If, yes, prone to make one cry buckets (esp s3). XD;

This must have happened to Araki in actual real life. At the very least he saw that one manip. XDD

Thanks! Nothing to do but bugger on, as Churchill said in the other Doctor Who ep. XD;
