Deception
Someone else has to watch this show before its inevitable cancellation just so I'm not the only person watching it. I know it's Revenge but with some sort of cancer drug story but I never watched that and can't be bothered to catch up on it, so this is it for me. -
Primeval
So, I haven't seen this show since season 2, but when did they move to Canada? I knew they were keen on killing people off, but everyone? And then the anomalies moved in grief to Vancouver, I guess. -
Once upon a time
So, I just finished watching the first season of this (missed some the first time round) and have confirmed that my inner 12 year old is still very much alive and wants a) Prince Charming and Snow White to live happily ever after* and b) the Evil Queen to spend an eternity rolling around in sackcloth and ashes and maturing. That might be a long ( Read more... ) -
He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special
This is the thing that the phrase WTF IS THIS THING ON MY TV was invented for.
ETA: Clearly I remember NOTHING about this show. I had forgotten they were bother and sister and I have no memory of the giant flying pink rainbow unicorn that She-Ra rode. How on earth would you forget that? You'd imagine it would be imprinted in your memory. Also, He- ( Read more... ) -
Lost
I've just finished watching season 6 of Lost. I'd forgotten how much I loved that show: I had no idea what was going on most of the time but, more importantly, I did not care at all that I had no idea was going on. Basically, I just liked watching Jack cry,* Kate having great hair while being conflicted about everything (my, that woman had great ( Read more... ) -
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
lage_nom_ai you did not lie! Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is one of the great films of our time. THE TRAINING MONTAGE OF AXE-WIELDING! THE JUMPING FROM HORSE TO HORSE IN PURSUIT! THE ACTUAL AXE-WIELDING! All of it awesome, people, and I haven't even finished the movie yet. This is all going to replace the three facts I actually know about Lincoln's early ( Read more... ) -
The Hobbit: Now three movies so we had to add some stuff that we made up
Saw The Hobbit. Mostly it was fun, but you can really sense the padding in some scenes...there was one in Rivendell which not only served no purpose but was basically there to reassure us that, yes, the Elves are upper class wankers and the Dwarfs prefer meat and potatoes to salad. ( Cut for spoilers for scenes that aren't in the book ) -
As if my hatred for Reilly had not hit burning heights months ago
Too soon to commit on abortion legislation, says ReillySo 20 years after the Supreme Court ruled that abortion was legal in Ireland to save the life of the mother, 2 years after the European Court ruled Ireland was breaking European law, weeks after a woman died in a hospital in Galway because despite the fact that she was having a miscarriage the ( Read more... ) -
Skyfall
This...this was like the perfect apotheosis of the ridiculousness of the Bond genre. It was so magnificently dumb and starred more dumb people than have ever been gathered in one plot before (my theory is that there's a parallel MI6 where the competent people work. The Bond one is where they shove all the spies and admin people too dangerous to ( Read more... ) -
Hugo Boss! For Day! For Night!
For me, the Hugo Boss ad with Ryan Reynolds is the apotheosis of the ridiculous celebrity ad. (Well, it and the one which is basically shots of Jennifer Lopez tossing her hair around while the shampoo guy tries to convince me that unless I use this product my hair will probably all fall out if I toss it around.) It reduces me to giggles every time ( Read more... )
