aren't you a peach?
Oct. 25th, 2008 10:12 pmOn Friday I looked like a drunk elementary school teacher hipster. I think that is the worst possible thing to be.
Super Adorable ILB Guy is so so so adorable, I love him. I just really do, he's so sweet and tiny and soft-spoken. He seems like he would the best friend. It always makes me happy when he's around. That sounds creepy and weird, and it is kind of creepy and weird, but I'm not like... covetous about it. Terrible word choice! I just mean that I'm not all OMG I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND SUPER ADORABLE ILB GUY or I WANT TO STARE AT YOU WITHOUT INTERRUPTION (omg what) or whatever, I just love him! It's like a fountain or something. It's just nice to know that Super Adorbale ILB Guy is there.
I am the most awkward person in the whole world. I'm so abrupt and stuttery and incoherent. The majority of everyone must think I'm a total weirdo with my reflecty glasses and stupid voice and dumb dull things to say. Talking is so hard!! It's so easy for most other people, but I get so nervous.
Alsoooo I'm really boring in general.
I'm watching Constantine. This movie is so great looking. I love the color and the imagery is fantastic. Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weiz help a lot too. And Tilda Swinton is so extraordinary. Visual delights!! Man it's just great looking. It's so grimly elegant. I really really love the style.
Let us have a short paragraph about Keanu Reeves: I am very fond of Keanu Reeves! He seems like a nice guy. Everyone is so hard on him. And no, he is not the greatest at... delivering lines. Or conveying emotion. Or um a lot of things. But he isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be! I like that he's a very quiet actor. No scenery chewing! Not aggressively bad! He doesn't have a lot of presence, to me, but he is magnetic. He's a good physical actor, I think. He's convincing and ~striking~.
Wow, I really really love the style. It's so gorgeously made. I am usually always vaguely annoyed by CGI demons and landscapes and whatnot but it's really well-done here. Oh man. But ugh, Shia LaBoeuf.
Now I'm watching the encore presentation because I realized I had absolutely no fucking idea what the plot was. Seriously, no clue. The wiki page's "differences between the comics and the movie" section makes the comics sound so much more badass than the movie. Whatever, the movie deals in imagery to me and mannnn it's so good looking.
Roomie: Cockroaches usually go toward... what? Nuclear waste, I thought?
WHAT. SHE'S NOT JOKING. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.
Collapsing two days of posts into one because I feel super spammy.
Caught the end of Panic Room. Kristen Stewart is really good in that movie. She's got an interesting pointed little face.
Unfavorable Mad Men opinions:
- I don't like the opening. Mostly the song but the visuals don't do much for me either. I acknowledge the technical class though.
- I like Betty's empowering story arc thing but I'm iffy on whether I think January Jones is like a passable actress. At the beginning I thought she was super terrible but now I think she's only selectively terrible? It's mostly the way she delivers her lines.
- I hate when Good Shows really drop the ball when it comes to children. The way the Draper kids are written is fucking terrible. I mean, REALLY terrible. It's kind of insulting. They're like the worst kind of plot devicey robot clones, full of From-the-Mouths-of-Babes Significant Insights. Those scenes are painful to watch. Just rrrrgh.
Favorable Mad Men opinions:
- Joan is the most interesting part of the show to me. That last episode broke my heart, but so far it doesn't seem like they're picking up on that? Did they shoot this out of order or something? JOAN. ;___;
- I liked the original Mrs. Draper a lot, from the last episode.
- Peggy is also a fantastic character. Elizabeth Moss is so good. Peggy has a new haircut and a new office! I also like the weird friendship thing she has with Pete. OH SHIT this scene! Holy shit, this scene! Oh my god Elizabeth Moss is amazing. Vincent Kartheiser (sp?) is really good too. Oh man I forgot what I was going to say. This scene scrambled my brain.
I think I should like Mad Men more than I do but eh not so much. I'm supremely uninterested in the ads and the clients and the merger and whatever.
