just some quick stuff

I am LOVING the images that have been released from Tim Burton's forthcoming Alice in Wonderland. Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Anne Hathaway. Sublime.

Anyone who watches SYTYCD should get on Twitter to follow Nigel and Adam. They are too much fun.

Dinosaurs might be smaller than originally thought. I demand a recount!

Watched the first episode of Merlin. Eh. I understand it gets better? Also, why is Guinevere a maid and really unattractive? At least Arthur is hot.

On last night's Daisy of Love, Daisy described a guy's temper tantrum as "Battlestar Dramatica." There is no way she came up with that herself. But I am totally stealing it.

Hot Jamie Bamber photoshoot.

David and Tea still in love? Hmm.

In this video interview with Jeffrey Donovan, Ausiello says that the Michael/Fiona relationship is a "huge draw" for fans and Donovan says viewers are "in love" with that relationship. To which I say: really? Most people I know aren't fans of the relationship at all, so I find that slightly puzzling. Any Michael/Fiona fans out there?

Just read about the Metro crash in DC, so horrible. I'm going to assume all my peeps are all right since I've heard from most of you, and the alternative is unacceptable anyway.

So Patrick Stewart is going to be at Dragon Con. How crazy is that? I'm not even a TNG fan and I'm excited.

Okay, that's all for now.

Merlin gets better. Or at least I thought so. It's never a great show by any means, but it's fun for what it is. If that makes sense. Colin Morgan is adorable and Bradley James is hot, so there's that at least. :)

The pretty boys are definitely the reason to watch so far.

I'm a big Michael/Fiona fan, and I have two good friends that are also. We must represent some demographic, right? :-)

Alice in Wonderland LOOKS AWESOME. Man, I just love Tim Burton. Being inside that guy's head must be a TRIP.

Did you hear about Bradley Whitford & Jane K. (whatever I can't spell her last name)? :*( So sad.

I hope it's true about David and Tea. Hope, hope, hope!

I don't give a fuck about Michael/Fiona. Plus, Gabrielle Anwar needs a sandwich or sixteen.

This is why I love you.

I used to really hate Michael/Fiona, but now I'm just bored by them together.

That sums it up fairly well for me, too.

I adore Merlin, and yes, it does get better. I can only comment up to ep 10, though.

Hahaha, "battlestar dramatica". That's my new catchphrase for work. Awesome.

I hope David & Tea can make it work. They're a great couple.

Personally, I don't really ship anyone on Burn Notice. I might ship Michael/Fiona if they had any real chemistry and she ate a cheeseburger or twelve, but as they are now? No.

Yes, this.

Not a Michael/Fiona fan, I know most people on TWOP or the official USA network board are though. They're scarily protective of their ship D: Personally, I think Michael/Carla had more chemistry, whut.

Merlin gets better. If you like slash. :D

Oh, TWoP. Sigh.

Merlin gets better. If you like slash. :D

Hmmm, well I'm not opposed to slash, so we'll see how it goes. *g*

They're probably going the Cinderella route with Gwen/Guinevere on Merlin. I've always hated Guinevere, and I can sort of tolerate her on the show, so I guess that's an upgrade for me, then?

I think I've made it pretty clear Fiona and Michael together do nothing for me. Feelings, shmeelings, let's go shoot somebody now. My mother, though, is shipping them hard. I have no idea how we can possibly be related.

That's how I feel too, but for me it's WEIRD to feel that way about a show. Heh. To be honest, I like Fiona okay, it's Gabrielle Anwar who makes the pairing unpalatable for me.

Yeah, I think Gabrielle Anwar was not the best choice for the role by leaps and bounds. I mean, I'm glad they didn't cast some twenty-four-year-old for it, but she's just...not good. Leaving aside how distracting her brittleness is for me personally, she's still not very good. It's really a shame because the show is great fun otherwise, and if they're going to push the relationship (and it certainly sounds like they are,) I doubt I will be sticking with the show for the long haul. I can think of at least half a dozen shows I'd like to try right now and don't have time for.

Everyone should always be excited about Patrick Stewart, TNG fan or not. (Besides, he's pretty damned hot, too! ;))

[identity profile] dianora2.livejournal.com 2009-06-23 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee. Well, I don't find him hot, but I do find him awesome. :)

[identity profile] kiss-me-cassie.livejournal.com 2009-06-23 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
He's one of my older men boyfriends. *g*

"Any Michael/Fiona fans out there?"

Yep. What I really love, though, is seeing Michael's mom talk to Michael and Fiona (separately) about their relationship.

I TiVo'd the first two episodes of Merlin, but I've yet to watch. Here's hoping they do get better. Let me know. :)

I also love Michael/Fiona, though I agree with the general sentiment that she needs to eat some a cheeseburger.

Emphatically NO. Bleah. Sure, they're fun and I'm okay with some pining, but too much of them being all... just, no.

Also, she needs to eat a sandwich, my God.
