Spirited Fixes Melancholy

[boosh_smeg_who]

Just feeling absurdly self-pitying today so I turned to Spirited to either lift me up or get me thinking: hey, with all my problems, at least the love of my life isn't dead. (It didn't work - I'd adore my own Henry). But it make me happy for a few hours to sit and watch from the beginning, and I realised just how much I love the first episodes of

Yes, bring on the rainbows!! You can honestly just talk about all the layers to the storyline all bloody day and it still amazes you. (And especially now that I've just finished my Screen Analysis class, I'm all over scrutinising films lol). I got into it for that same reason - the season one trailers were just so beautiful and fascinating and I wondered about these two characters finding each other. Wake Up Little Suzy - at first I thought it came a little early but the more I watch it the more I realise it is quite unique. Most of the episode seems to be about sex, and subsequently the beginning of attraction between S and H and their obvious frustrations. And then we get that sweet moment on the balcony, a spark of hope - "We can meet in our dreams" - and by the end, they don't end up sleeping together, they end up finding comfort for just a second in one another's arms and finally acknowledging the stirrings of something like love. Gah it makes me want to rage everytime Verity wakes Suzy up haha

Excellent, I have a dissection buddy! :D

Depending on the day I still sometimes get frustrated with the whole axing and I find watching the show frustrating because it makes me feel uncomfortable, but that aside we should bring back the idea I posted a while ago of having an episode re-watch so that we can collectively dissect and discuss and pic spam.

Though I think an ep a week will be too drawn out for me, so we could just keep it loose and discuss as we are now ;)

A moment please to explode online and off topic: KEITH URBAN'S COMING IN JANUARY!!!!! Ahhhhh I have been in love with that man for almost eight years, more than any real relationship I've had. His music is the light in my life, I've seen him three times GROPED him once during a concert and his concerts at the happiest I ever feel in my whole life so...I'm pretty chuffed right now!!

And now back to scheduled programming:
It does make me sad to rewatch them because I know it's over, I felt a twinge of unease watching it today but mostly I just like to forget and let them be amazing haha :)
Episode discussions would be lovely! Let's keep it free and easy and once I figure out how to post pictures I'll totally join in the picspam!!
:D

Ohhh wonderful #Popsheadaroundthedoor# Can I come in??

I've just got back after a few days away and found this wonderful thread! It's nearly 3am here and I need to sleep, but I would love to be part of the dissection club if I may :) I'll come back tomorrow and read your posts again when my brain is working properly :)

[boosh_smeg_who]

Why yes do come in!! But you may want to sleep first...I always need some brain power to dissect haha :)

Hello! I'm sorry I haven't commented yet, after my last post I got stomach flu, so have been in bed ill!!!

I know things are pretty quiet around here and I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you after I said I was looking forward to joining in your discussion :) Earlier today I was actually looking back at some of the posts when the 2nd series was being shown and it brought back some lovely memories :) But of course it always comes back to the pain of knowing that there will be no more :(

Anyway, I shall return and join in if I still may once I can form a reasonable thought in my brain!

Hey that's okay, everyone gets busy or sick! I hope you're feeling better, a lot people I know are sick atm too it's no good. Bloody winter strikes again!
I know, I sometimes look back over the comm's old posts and it does make me sad...but I know that this show is definitely on my list of those that just keep cropping up and refusing to be forgotten. Not that I ever could. But yes, come back when you're feeling better! :)

You poor thing, hope you're feeling better.

We'll have to conjure up some ep squeeing soon, to lift all our spirits.
