never romantic or comedic...
Jan. 11th, 2008 02:10 pmJust some random thought that I wanted to get out of my head:
- I’ve started to read ‘Northern lights’ (golden compass) by Phillip Pullman, It is so good, at the start I wasn’t so into it, but then suddenly whoosh totally hooked! Can’t wait to finish it then see the film. I gotta say I really want my own daemon! Although like my mate said you would still want it to be able to change shape!. On the films website
You can actually do a quiz type thing and find out what your daemon would be. Mine is a jackal:
- So I’m quite enjoying Cashmere Mafia! And of course I like Caitlin she seems at the minute to be the only one with a bit of ‘get up and go’ the others seem to be stuck in there suits! I’ll probably keep watching it. I’m not really one for ‘girly’ shows, I have never seen an episode of sex and the city and probably never will, I did watch some of desperate housewives, but got bored with it, I wanted more badass Bree and less Teri Hatcher and that plumber. So it will make a change for me to watch something like this! Coz I’m assuming that the L word doesn’t count as a ‘girly’ show....well, I suppose it depends... oh whatever! In my world it doesn’t!
- I watched all 3 seasons of deadwood before Christmas and loved it. Why do they always cancel great programmes and keep shows like charmed or Andromeda going for far longer than necessary! anyway..... Of course I love Jane and have (of course) become fond of Joanie, Kim Dickens is going on my list! as is Robin Weigert.
I have been reading the HBO message board, which is the worst organised board I’ve been on, it is sooo difficult to read!, and kinda got bored on the Jane thread, coz they were all going on about the real calamity Jane which is fine, but I don’t need to read the same thing over and over again!! On the Joanie thread there is some bloke half way through who was petty homophobic, which of course isn’t a surprise but what pisses me off is that he was complaining that ‘it being rammed down his throat blah blah blah’, but in the whole of the series there are 3 kisses. Only 3. And yet I couldn’t even guess at the amount of people who had their throats cut on screen! Or had the shit beaten out of them, and one man had one of his eyeballs pulled out and hanging there! But hey that’s fine, but good god how dare there be three kisses!! Also why was he hanging around the Joanie thread if it ‘repulsed’ him so much!! (Joanie is the one involved in all 3 kisses by the way) some people I just don’t get. If I was offended by something or found it distasteful, I wouldn’t waste my time hanging around a thread about it!!
- I want to know what the fuss is about that Penelope Cruz, or should that be family Cruz, video, and I don't mean the kissing thing, I mean the fact that so many people think she is kissing her sister! it was in the paper here (UK) (and I should say that it was only a small bit in a decent paper, so I dread to think what might happen if a tabloid gets hold of it!!) that she was kissing her sister and I just got an email form tvguide or something saying it too!! Do they really think that they would go that far?? and hell, none of them watched alias, obviously! well at least it's giving her brother some coverage! (Which was probably part of the point!)
- I wasn’t impressed with the TV this Christmas. Dr who I thought was a bit of a waste of time, Kylie wasn’t as bad as I thought she might be, but the story was kinda crap. The ballet shoes with Emma Watson was okay but also kinda meh! not really any good films on, well none that I hadn’t already seen, although saying that I did regress to my 10 year old self and watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins if only Oliver! had been on my Christmas would have been complete! You would want Mary Poppins as your nanny and Ms Honey as your teacher, well I would!! :)
