Dear Lost,
Stop making me loathe Charlie! At least I don’t hate Kate anymore, and Shannon isn’t around to detest. I guess it balances.
No Love,
Me
P.S. Hurley + Whatserface = OTP.
I’m definitely at the point now where I’m watching Lost out of habit.
My classes haven’t presented me with much of a workload as of yet, so I caved and watched the first handfull of episodes from Season 1 of House, as it has come highly recommended from every person on my friends list and their dog. My diagnosis? SO MUCH LOVE. So much love that I spaced and totally forgot about the new episode of Lost tonight. But who needs Lost when you have a show with snark, incredibly blue eyes, convincing American accents, and the occasional leper? Nobody does, that’s who.
*snorks* Apparently the Chinese characters on the back cover of the Serenity visual companion translate to “If you don’t buy this book, your friends will think you’re a stupid inbred stack of meat.” So much Josslove!
Huh. Rumor has it that Tim Burton’s next project will be a screen version of the musical Sweeney Todd, starring Johnny Depp. I’d love to see Sweeney in Burton’s hands, and I’m a great fan of Johnny Depp, but can Johnny Depp sing? And I mean really, really sing? Also, while they work well together, is anyone else getting a leetle bit tired of the increasingly incestuous Burton/Depp duo? This will be their sixth collaboration!
It sure would have been nice of my Crime Cinema professor to email us and tell us that he was in EUROPE and would not be holding class until after the 16th. And it sure would have been nice if the registrar hadn’t doublebooked our classroom with Elementary Italian. Just saying.
What’s up with all the sudden Discworld movie-age? First there’s talk of Hogfather, and now there’s news that Sam Raimi is making Wee Free Men after Spider-Man 3! The past few years have seen a dramatic increase in movies based on material with a preestablished fanbase. I’m betting that it’s what this decade will be known for.
Anyway, yayness for high-profile directors and Discworld movies! Though I’m holding off on the squee until someone announces plans for Guards! Guards!. :D
