I would have tacked all this on to the last post, but that would have made it gigantically long. Last night, I went to see The Kingdom - certainly worth a look. You can tell that Berg is a protégé's of Michael Mann's, and he certainly lives up to the master in the action scenes, which are the big reason to go see this.

This is a greedy post. But I've had a real habit of saying that there should be fic of X,Y,Z, in my reviews recently. So, I thought I'd make a list of what I've talked about, because compiling such things makes me happy, and for anyone who might be interested. ( The list )

First batch of fic recs for 2007. It's as good a snapshot as any of what I've been reading, a few being from Yuletide (which I discovered from others' recs).

This is typed up from a spider diagram I made in honour of the SD-6 diagram in the blood donation van. It may, therefore, be a bit of a ramble, but it'll be more concise than typing up the notes that I made. (Honestly.) ( spoilers up to 'All the time in the world )

Hello, I'm back from holidays and jumping back into normal life tomorrow. No more hours and hours to spend reading or whatevering. I've spent the last couple of days mainlining Alias season 5 on DVD, so that I could leave the copy behind for others to watch. I have Thoughts but I'm definitely too tired to try to pin them down tonight, because it ( Read more... )

SAT 23rd
So I’ve started to watch season 5 of Alias - cautiously enough - but the burning question is where is the AU Sweiss fic for …1… particularly?
