"Je habite Los Angeles. Et London."

Updating at long last! Several items today.

1) Robin Hood last week? I probaby shouldn't have been laughing when 'it' happened, should I? Love how there's been no mention of it in this week's episode so far (Kay died on me in the middle of it? I'll get panicked when I'm sure I can't revive her, but for the moment the point is that I'm stuck in the middle of the episode, and how can anybody think that Jack is a guy? I'm confused).

2) Jamie Cullum? There aren't enough words. NOT ENOUGH WORDS. He is AMAZING and I LOVE HIM and the concert was BRILLIANT. Honestly. He sang Liar, Liar in French. He was cute and had so much energy and oh, god, I love him so bad. His style. His hair. There was samba! The Zenith was full. Loved it. LOVED IT. If you like his music? A concert is at least ten times better than his recordings. And his hair is a thing of insanity and fascination, did I mention that?

3) There was something off to the episode, I found, and it's very easily summed up by: it wasn't about the boys. It was about Jo and Dean, and Sam was in the background, and much as I actually like Jo (not crazy in love with her, but I don't hate her, which is surprising given her Mary Sue potential), I watch this show because of the boys. They're what I'm interested in, not her. And that whole Papa Winchester's responsible for her father's death thing? I can't be bothered. I would've liked it so much better if she'd found out that Papa Winchester was also her Papa. Because yeah, just as expected as what that was all about, but then what with the tension with Dean, it would've brought up incest. ...I can so see Sam bitch about how if Dean's gonna get incestuous, he could at least have the decency to do it with him.

4) Alright, so I'm going to hell because there were moments when part of me couldn't help but lust after Alan. And his Carl was so creepy. He really sold it for me. I could care less about CSI, and the episode itself, but Alan gave a great performance. I'd love to read an interview about that. If anybody sees him discussing that part, give me a nudge? Cheers.

5) Robbie Williams is no less insane than usual, and speaks French with the cutest accent. As if I had any doubt.

6) I'm sorry, am I still supposed to care about Lost?

7) They should seriously think of renaming it "The Anatomy" and making Meredith die some boring old death somewhere. Or just move away. I'm not bothered.

8) I love my family. I didn't see as much of my parents as I would've liked (dad was recording stuff with his choir, mum was working), but I spent quite a bit of time with sis and her boyfriend, and that was of the very good. Even with lil!bro, which made me happy. Although we both suck at Pictionary.

9) I finally saw the reason why everybody else loves Adrien Brody. And god I love him even more than I used to. And still don't see how people can not find him beautiful, with those eyes of his. He's simply amazing, and that movie is as good as it's made up to be.

10) Something else which didn't surprise me? Troy. The boys were very pretty in skirts and little tunic things that made me want to lick their stomachs. And it's a cast that should've guaranteed a good movie. Except it really sucks. In a loooong kind of way, on top of just being bad.

So, pretty much? I love Jamie Cullum. I love my family. And I want to be watching Torchwood already!

Troy? Well, Troy was... hm... didn't see the whole movie. I think that removing GODS from it was as much good as removing ghosts from Hamlet. I mean, sure it can work (think Shining with Jack Nicholson) but VERY RARELY.

The only reason why I 'saw' the whole movie is that I reduced the dvd player's window to a tiny little thing, stuck it in a corner of the screen, and proceeded to do other stuff as I 'watched'. Honestly.

Whoever directed Troy? ...Petersen? Reaaaally not a Kubrick. Also the script for Shining didn't suck like this one here, which helped. Oh, god. That movie was just bad.

I really like Jamie Cullum's music, and I've already heard of him being brilliant on stage ^^" I guess Youtube will be my friend and will show me some videos of him =)

And you're so right for Meredith -___- She's getting on my nerves in every episode (even when she's on drugs and when she's supposed to be funny)

[identity profile] fan-elune.livejournal.com 2006-11-05 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
He is OH SO GOOD. There are no words. He's like, a phenomenon. There are some vids up on YouTube, though of course they're nowhere near as good as the real thing. (He's doing a few more French dates, I think, if you want to catch him, though? Or he said he'd be back next year. He PROMISED.)

God, that character is such a pain. Of all the people I know who watch that show, only one of them so far has told me off for dissing her. Christ.

CULLUM! \m/

Jamie!!!!!

Oh, god, darling, I really wasn't ready for... you know, HIM. He's just so brilliantly amazing and... I don't have the beginning of a clue how to convey what it was like to people who weren't there.

I can so see Sam bitch about how if Dean's gonna get incestuous, he could at least have the decency to do it with him.
Hee.

You're right, making an SPN episode not about the boys is kinda senseless. 'No Exit' wasn't actually bad, but was it necessary?

Exactly! It was like passable fanfiction. Pretty good fanfiction, actually, just not amazing fanfiction. Because the amazing fanfiction in that fandom is about the Winchesters. *nods* Like the show should be. Anyway, they had to introduce something that infused the Dean/Jo future romance with a bit of angst, and they've done it, and now we can have that romance some time in the future and I'm not exactly looking forward to it, if it throws the whole thing off balance like this.

About Dean/Jo. Well, if they absolute have to throw them together, then I guess I'm not going to complain that loud. He could end up worse *cough*Cassie*cough*. Jo and Dean have my half-hearted blessing to have a fling in season 5. Ok, the end of season 4, if they really can't wait longer.

I haven't read any SPN fanfiction in a disturbingly long time. Hmm, that won't do. *goes of to look for Winchester porn*

Heh! Good point. And if they take their time I'm all for it. Possibly even supporting it. But I doubt they will, so.

Enjoy the porn!

I still care about Lost, but I still couldn't care one iota about Jack. Locke, on the other hand...

[identity profile] fan-elune.livejournal.com 2006-11-05 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm still miffed about how they handled the Locke and Eko thing. And even more annoyed at how much I used to love Eko, and by now I really, really don't care.

But, there's Desmond.

And I do remotely care about Jack. Sometimes. It happens! God, not really anymore actually, no. Even Sawyer, I'm just... *shrugs*

But, there's Desmond.

Desmond, if I can quote Charlie, needs a party in my pants.

Can I crash said party?
